LAURA’S PLOP SHOCKER

- By BRAD CHADWICK news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

LAURA Whitmore says she was shocked to hear someone shouting ENCOURAGEM­ENT as she squeezed out her morning PLOP.

The Love Island presenter is currently in sunny Spain as this year’s dating show prepares to come to an end.

Laura, 37, let her Instagram followers into her life as she joked that a stranger had been giving her encouragem­ent during her “morning poo”.

Taking to her Insta Stories, the blonde shared a video from her bathroom, with the caption: “Could hear someone shouting, ‘ Come on, you can do it!’ during my morning poo and it was very helpful. Thanks.”

The presenter then went to the window of the toilet where, through a gap, viewers saw a fitness class was going on below.

The outdoor spin class saw gym- goers cycling as fast as they could while the trainer shouted words of encouragem­ent.

Vibes So the “you- can- do- it” vibes weren’t aimed at Laura – but at least she appreciate­d it!

The presenter’s video comes after it was confirmed she will be stepping down from her BBC Radio 5 Live show which she has hosted since 2018.

Rumours that Laura had stepped away from the show emerged last week, with a source suggesting she wanted to focus on Love Island.

The news was later confirmed by BBC Radio 5 Live controller Heidi Dawson, who did not give a reason for Laura’s departure but said it had been a “difficult decision” for the star.

In a statement, Heidi said: “Laura has made the difficult decision to leave her weekend show after a brilliant four years.

“We’d like to thank her for the energy, insight, and humour she’s brought to this programme and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

The star took over presenting Love Island from her friend, the late Caroline Flack, in 2020, and this year the ITV2 show has enjoyed its biggest launch audience since 2019.

The show has also received 3,000 viewer complaints this year from folk with nothing better to do than moan about Love Island.
