Love Island viewers notice nod to Jake and Liberty in Laura Whitmore's final outfit

Fans had a lot to say about Laura Whitmore's final look for Love Island 2021.

As viewers tuned in for their final visit to the villa they were bowled over by host Laura's fashion choice.

Laura, 36, has recently won compliments for her pretty floral dresses as she embraced the sunshine in Spain on the ITV2 dating contest.

The mum-of-one rocked a stylish off-white blazer dress as she gathered the final four couples after eight weeks of coupling-up.

And the decision wasn't lost on viewers who suspected it might be a nod to former couple Jake Cornish and Liberty Poole.

The pair left the villa just days before the final after Liberty came to the heartbreaking realisation that they weren't right for each other.

After splitting up they decided to walk out together to leave Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran, Faye Winter and Teddy Soares, Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank and Liam Reardon and Millie Court to battle it out for £50,000 prize.

In tearful scenes Liberty confronted Jake about his comments about her appearance, behaviour and ‘messiness' - and she mentioned that he likes 'blazer dresses.'

"I feel like recently there’s been a change in energy, and I feel like I can’t do nothing right,’ Liberty explained to Jake.

"I am messy, I am learning not to be messy but that’s just me. I do wear big heels, I do wear big eyelashes, I do like red lipstick and I feel like I can’t do nothing or say anything right.

"You’ve got to love me for who I am or I’m just not the girl for you and I’m happy to give you this (bracelet) back and hope that you find the girl that wears blazer dresses and heels and that’s tidy.

"I’m happy to do that, because if there’s things you don’t like about me I’m just not the girl for you."

Viewers flocked to Twitter to have their say.

"Laura wearing a blazer dress has to be a nod to Liberty and Jake right?" asked one.

"Jake when he sees Laura is wearing a blazer dress," commented another.

"Laura’s wearing a blazer dress ...where’s Jake lol," said another fan cheekily.

"Laura wearing a blazer dress I know Jake is fuming he’s not there," joked another.

Fans were also loving Laura's plaited hair.

"Laura hair cute though lol," said one.

"Laura Whitmore looks stunning," another praised.

"Laura looks amazing," said another fan.

And another tweeted: "Laura Whitmore looks impeccable."

This has been Laura's second series presenting Love Island.

She made her debut fronting the show for the winter series in January 2019 taking over the reins from her friend the late Caroline Flack.
