Love Island Aftersun will have a bigger studio audience this year

The 37-year-old TV presenter interviews axed Islanders and their families on the ITV2 show and following the lifting of COVID restrictions, there will be a larger audience this year and Laura thinks that will give them a boost.

When asked what her favourite thing about 'Aftersun' is, she replied: "All of it really. I love speaking to the friends and family. There’s so much to unpack from each episode.

"I love talking to the Islanders after they come out. You could easily talk to them all for half an hour at least.

"We’ve got a bigger studio audience than last year due to restrictions being lifted.

"I think that will really help the Islanders when they come back too to see the support that they have."

Laura believes 'Love Island' has become an "iconic" show and she admits it is a "real honour" to be fronting the programme.

She added: "My favourite thing about hosting is being part of these journeys and then also, as a fan of the show, I get a bit of the behind the scenes view - although not as much as people think I get, sadly! It’s such an iconic show and it’s a real honour to be able to work on it.

"I have such respect for everyone who works on the show because it’s a huge production and I really respect the process. To be at the helm of something like this, it feels nice to be trusted to do it."
