What does Iain Stirling do on Love Island?
Iain narrates the show, sending fans wild with his hilarious one-liners and witty observations.
And so successful was he again in 2018 that he’s back again this year!
He said: “I show up, watch the show, think of some funny things to say and then speak over people having sex with each other.
“I get to go to Majorca for six weeks and chill. I never thought my life would come to this but it has. It’s brilliant. I really enjoy it.”
He would start work at 2pm every day and watch an edited version of the show — which was almost always what audiences at home saw that evening.
The Scotsman spoke to The Sun Online about the “mad response” he’s received since he started narrating the show.
But he admitted he’s pleased narrating sex all year isn’t his only job – he can also be seen at the Edinburgh Festival and enjoys filming CBBC shows.
He added: “It’s good to have the mix of stand-up and kids TV – I couldn’t narrate sex every day.”
Who is Iain Stirling’s girlfriend Laura Whitmore?
Laura Whitmore is an Irish TV presenter known for fronting shows such as Survival of the Fittest and the I’m A Celebrity after show Get Me Out Of Here Now.
In July 2017 The Sun Online exclusively revealed that Iain found love with Laura after meeting her at a party.
In June 2018 it was revealed that the couple are planning to move in together.
A source said: “Because of their busy jobs they don’t get to spend a lot of time together but this will mean they will see a lot more of each other.
“They are very steady as a couple and it is the natural next step.”
In December 2018, Laura shared a rare photo of the couple together as they settled into their new home.
Laura has previously been linked to Paolo Nutini and Sunset Sons frontman Rory Williams.
