Laura Whitmore defends Love Island flights

‘Love Island’ host Laura Whitmore has refuted claims she is contributing to the climate crisis by flying back and forth from the UK to South Africa for her presenting job.
The 34-year-old star took over presenting duties from Caroline Flack for the winter series of the ITV2 reality dating show and has to split her time between Cape Town and London for her job on ‘Love Island’ and then to host spin-off series ‘AfterSun’ and her Sunday morning BBC Radio 5 Live programme.
Laura was quizzed on Twitter as to why she couldn’t stay in Cape Town to broadcast her radio show and also ‘AfterSun’ rather than keep flying to London and back again insisting her travel was adding to the world’s carbon footprint.
Laura has defended her flight arrangements, insisting that she is not travelling every week and is committed to offsetting her carbon footprint.
Jane Clapton posted on Twitter: "@bbc5live why is Laura Whitmore flying from South Africa every weekend to do her Sunday morning radio show then back to SA to present Love Island? Surely there are studios she could broadcast from in SA? #ClimateCrisis."
Laura replied: "Hi Jane, love island aftersun is filmed in London – as all the guests are based in the UK. I’m only in cape town for the finale, public voting etc.
"And I’m an advocate of offsetting carbon footprint you’ll notice on my Twitter, Thanks x. (sic)"
Proving her commitment to climate change, Laura – who is in a relationship with ‘Love Island’ narrator Iain Stirling – had previously shared what she does to offset her carbon footprint on Twitter.
She tweeted: "There’s some amazing projects out there that you can use to offset your carbon footprint.
"I use https://co2nsensus.com as you can choose a wide range of projects to support. This time I chose Forest Plantations in Uruguay and they give you a certificate! Check them out!"
