Laura Whitmore turned heads at the Paul Costelloe show during London Fashion Week on Thursday, shortly after sharing the happy news that she’s expecting her second child.
The 40-year-old former Love Island host stood out in a stylish outfit: a blue and white textured jacket paired with a matching striped mini dress.
She wore white heels and matching tights, which made her look taller.
Shortly after announcing she was expecting, Laura proudly displayed her baby bump on the cover of Hot Press magazine.
On Wednesday evening, the presenter announced on Instagram that she and her husband, Iain Stirling, are expecting their second child.
Laura looked incredible in a navy cropped jumper and skimpy black underwear.
I was really struck by Laura’s article in the magazine. She talks about the scary future we might be building for our kids and the next generation – a kind of dystopian world, and it really made me think.
Louis Tomlinson’s sister, Phoebe, also attended the Paul Costelloe fashion show, turning heads in a short black dress.
Vanessa Bauer, who previously competed on Dancing On Ice, wore a white lace top, tan shorts, and black tights.
The couple has a daughter named Stevie Ré, born in March 2021. They generally keep their family life private and don’t often share photos of her.
The couple announced they were expecting a baby with a post from a sunny vacation. In one photo, the mom-to-be wore a cropped blue T-shirt, a sunhat, and bikini bottoms, gently displaying her growing belly.
In another stylish image she wore a black and white mini dress with towering red heels.
People immediately shared their congratulations in the comments after she announced her happy news.
Vick Hope and Gaby Roslin both sent their congratulations. Vick wrote, ‘Huge congrats Laura!!’ and Gaby added, ‘Huge congratulations to you both!’
Laura and her partner were spotted together last weekend. Laura hid her baby bump with a leather jacket while they enjoyed a Cirque du Soleil performance of OVO at the Royal Albert Hall.
Laura, an Irish TV host, and her husband Iain, the voiceover artist from Love Island, welcomed their daughter, Stevie Ré, in 2021.
After becoming a mother, Laura told The Standard she’d become concerned about the risks the internet poses to children.
She explained that becoming a parent really shifts what’s important to you and makes you more aware of certain issues.
‘This was something I also had to take self-care about as well.
The rapid changes happening online worry me because I know I’ll eventually have to adapt to them, and I can’t prevent those changes from happening. This makes me particularly aware and reactive to things I see online.
Last year, the Daily Mail reported that Laura upset BBC executives by unexpectedly withdrawing from Celebrity Apprentice right before filming began.
She unexpectedly dropped out of the show, leaving the casting team in a difficult position. The lineup also featured well-known personalities like AJ Odudu, host of Big Brother, actor Jake Wood from EastEnders, and JLS singer JB Gill.
To mark 20 years of The Apprentice, a special spin-off show featured celebrities competing to win over Lord Sugar and raise money for charity.
However, podcast host Laura ultimately didn’t participate in the BBC series because of a scheduling conflict she couldn’t avoid.
According to a source at the TV network, Laura upset BBC executives when she decided not to participate in the Celebrity Apprentice special.
Television production often involves unexpected changes, but this happened very close to the filming date, leaving the team unprepared and scrambling to adjust.
Laura couldn’t make the scheduled dates, so she cancelled her plans. This left a lot of people in a difficult situation.
In 2022, Laura announced her departure from Love Island after hosting the show for three years.
At the time she cited ‘difficult’ elements of the show’s format as her reasons for stepping down.
Before she became a well-known TV personality, Laura won a competition called Pick Me MTV, which made her the new face of MTV News across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.
She recently joined the cast of the popular West End play, 2:22: A Ghost Story, with Matt Willis (formerly of Busted), Tamsin Carroll, and Felix Scott.
Laura Whitmore explained that traveling frequently between the UK and South Africa for the winter seasons of Love Island was a major factor in her decision to leave the show.
Maya Jama has since hosted the dating show and is a huge hit with fans.
Laura and Iain got married in 2020. The bride wore a stylish, wide-leg white suit for her wedding.
