Iain Stirling's sweet tribute to girlfriend Laura Whitmore ahead of Love Island debut

Iain Stirling posted a sweet tribute to girlfriend Laura Whitmore as she prepares to host the first winter Love Island series tonight.

The comedian, 31, who is the hilarious voice of the hit dating show, wished his presenting partner well ahead of her debut as host of the series - following Caroline Flack's decision to step down.

Taking to Instagram , Iain shared a post from a London tube station which commented on Laura's first appearance as host of the show as it makes a return.

It read: "Whitmore sultry and serious slow motion walking, Whitmore snakey drama that gets people talking.

"Whitmore factor 50 melting in the South African sun, Whitmore coupling up, getting to knows, grafting and fun.

Iain admitted: 'This is pretty f***ing cool to be fair' (Instagram)

"Whitmore cracking on, head turning and being pied, Whitmore villa action, holding away and sunbathing outside.

"Whitmore glamorous bikinis and swimming trunks, Whitmore loyal connections between hotties and hunks.

"Whitmore eggs in baskets and eliminations, Whitmore mugging off and it is what it is situations.

"Whitmore types on paper and 'I got a text', Whitmore doing bits digging out and what will happen next.

"Whitmore funny flutters, classic banter and salty behaviour, Whitmore islanders dreaming of catching feelings from 'a bit of me' saviour.

"Whitmore crying with laughter from every Iain Stirling wisecrack, Whitmore islanders looking for love, it's good to have Love Island back."

The Scotsman shared the post to his Instagram Stories and penned: "This is pretty f***ing cool to be fair."

He threw his support behind Laura as she prepares to make the biggest step in her presenting career.

She recently dished the dirt on her very awkward first date with Iain Stirling.

The couple have been dating since 2017 and will be joining forces in a professional sense too.

Laura said: “I feel like I should have cleared this with Iain, but since you guys are here and he’s not…

“He brought me to a comedy gig, so we sat in a dark room, faced not directly towards each other and then watched his friends perform. Then we met his friends and his friend’s family.

"We didn’t really talk to each other, and Iain was wearing… he’ll kill me for saying this… he was wearing a backpack and I thought he’d come from school or a jog somewhere, but it turns out he was working all day and got quite sweaty in his clothes, so he bought a new outfit and a backpack and put his old clothes in his backpack and came to the date.

"At the end of the date, he said, ‘Oh we should have just gone for a drink, shouldn’t we?"
