Whitmore, 39, who took over the role of Love Island host from Flack until she was replaced by Maya Jama in 2023, posted screenshots of their WhatsApp chat to Instagram after rediscovering the conversation.
Flack, saved as “Flacky’ in Whitmore’s phone, said she wanted Whitmore to be the one to host the reality dating series instead of her.
Laura Whitmore has shared the supportive final messages she exchanged with Caroline Flack before she died.
Following allegations that she assaulted her boyfriend Lewis Burton, the star had stepped down from presenting the winter series of ITV’s Love Island and was due to appear in court the month after her death.
Whitmore then revealed she won’t appear in the forthcoming Disney+ documentary about Flack, which will follow the star’s mother as she tries to understand events in the final months of her daughter’s life.
