Pregnant Laura Whitmore opens up on how comic Chris Ramsey 'saved her relationship'

Newlywed Laura Whitmore says comic Chris Ramsey saved her relationship from crumbling.

The Love Island presenter is hitched to show narrator Iain Stirling, 32, and they are expecting their first child together.

But she told how they bitterly rowed on a long car journey – only to be saved by listening to Chris and wife Rosie’s Castaway podcast about married life.

Speaking to Rosie on the smash hit show, Laura, 35, said: “I was driving last Christmas to Ireland because I’ve got a dog and the dog isn’t allowed on the plane.

“It’s eight hours to Holyhead and then there’s a boat to Dublin and then three and a half hours to where my mum is.

“So me and Iain were doing that drive and by the end of the drive, we thought, ‘I want to kill you, get out of the car’.

“We were listening to a lot of murder podcasts, so I said, ‘Let’s just throw on a little bit of Rosie and Chris – Sh**ged, Married Annoyed’ and you [Rosie] saved our relationship so I want to thank you right now.

"We had a lovely giggle. We needed that.”

Laura and Iain first met at an ITV party in 2016.

They moved in together in December 2018 and married in secret last November in Dublin.

Last week Laura said the past year has been an “emotional rollercoaster” as it had been a year since she had presented Love Island.

She added on Instagram : “Eternally thankful for the people around me in my life for keeping me sane.”

Strictly star Chris, 34, and actress Rosie, 35, welcomed their second son Rafe into the world last Wednesday.
