Emily Atack stuns in bikini on holiday amid calls for her to take over as Love Island host

Emily Atack has been having fun in the sun while showbiz fans pitch her as the new Love Island host.

The TV star’s devotees have petitioned for her to take over after Laura Whitmore ’s presenting role after her sudden departure, while she suns herself on holiday.

The actress, 32, showed off her glowing tan and stunning beach body in a yellow gingham-print bikini.

While Emily hasn't given away the exact location of her glam getaway, it looks like it's a family affair as her mum Kate Robbins and sister Martha have joined her on the trip.

And as she enjoys her break, there’s a buzz around her next career move following Laura’s exit from the ITV2 show.

Laura sent shockwaves through the showbiz and TV world when she made the surprise announcement that her time on the ITV2 dating show has come to an end after three series.

The Irish TV star, who first started presenting Love Island in January 2020, called it quits on the weekend ahead of the next season in South Africa.

And Emily’s fans have thrown her name in the mix among some big stars of the showbiz world.

Maya Jama, AJ Odudu, Emily and this year's winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu have been tipped for the presenting spot.

Ladbrokes has opened betting on who will replace Laura, with Maya tipped as the early favourite at odds of 3/1, ahead of Emily at 4/1.

Former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins is also high on the list at odds of 5/1 to land the gig.

Other names include Rylan Clark at 8/1 and Mo Gilligan at 14/1, with Vicky Pattinson at 25/1.

And Love Island’s avid viewers have been taking to Twitter to throw the stars’ names into the ring.

Emily’s fans reckon her long employment history with ITV will serve her well.

One wrote: “She is getting it, she was in the running to take over after Caroline. It’s going to Emily Atack.” [sic]

Another fan declared: “Emily Atack she was on Celebrity Juice and starred in the Inbetweeners. She is definitely going to be in the running to take over from Laura.” [sic]

A third agreed: “The reason Emily Atack could get it is because she is already on ITV payroll. It’s easier to keep it in house.” [sic]
