It was one last blow out for the star before she heads off to South Africa to film for the first ever series of winter Love Island, which starts on January 12.

She has taken over the hosting responsibility from her close friend Caroline Flack, who stepped down as host after being arrested for assault by beating for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton.

Confirming she was the new host, Laura said, "To say I’m excited to be heading to Cape Town to host Love Island, the biggest show on television, is an understatement."

"I want to thank ITV for trusting me at the helm of this huge show. I wish it was in better circumstances; Caroline is a brilliant host and also a friend.

"We’ve spoken a lot in the last few days since she stepped down. She has been very kind to me and strongly pushed me for this role. I’ve watched her host every series and know I have big boots to fill. I will try and do it justice."

She added, "Above all, I am a massive fan of this show. I’ve never been to a Love Island villa, and I can’t wait to get in there to meet all the new Islanders looking for love.

"The Love Island team are the best in the business… including the voice and heart of the show, Iain. He thought he was getting a holiday away from me… not a chance!"
