With a degree in journalism, Laura Whitmore was always destined to work within the media industry.

Her first appearance came not long after graduation, when she won MTV’s “Pick Me MTV” campaign to find the face of MTV News in Europe. Between 2008 and 2015, she hosted bulletins around Europe for the channel, and was regularly seen hosting special events in her homeland of Ireland and further afield.

Since then, she has appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox (2020-present), Celebrity Juice (2020-22), Who Do You Think You Are (2018), and Richard Osman’s House of Games (2021-22). She has also taken part in charity-related television, such as on Channel 4’s The Feeling Nuts Comedy Night (2014) for testicular cancer, and The Great Celebrity Bake Off (2022) for Stand Up 2 Cancer.
