Laura Whitmore: Love Island return while suffering from mastitis was ‘hard’

OHMYGOSSIP — Laura Whitmore says it was “hard” going back to work on ‘Love Island’ while suffering from mastitis.
The 36-year-old TV presenter welcomed daughter Stevie into the world 12 months ago, and the star has opened up about how she was dealing with mastitis – an inflammation of breast tissue, which is most common in breastfeeding women – while fronting the ITV2 dating show last summer.
She said: “I remember getting mastitis. We were doing the first show of the coupling up. I had mastitis, so I had a fever.
“I had great big hard boobs, one bigger than the other. In one way though, it kind of took away the pressure, there was other things I was worrying about rather than the telly side. But yeah, it was hard. It was work and it was full on because you’re balancing everything.
“I’m so thankful for my mother for being there every step of the way so I could breastfeed full time, but also do the show.
“It was hard because I didn’t want any part of my life to, to miss out or not get the full time and effort from me.
“So it’s not that you can do it all, but I needed to work to provide for my family but also to have a bit of me as well.”
However, Laura – who is married to ‘Love Island’ narrator Iain Stirling – insists her return to work took “a lot of planning”, and wasn’t as “easy” as some people might think.
Speaking on Angela Scanlon’s ‘Thanks A Million’ podcast, she added: “But I think we need to be careful how we judge because, you know, from the outside everyone’s like, ‘Oh yeah, just straight back to work. It’s so easy for you.’
“It wasn’t, it was hard. It was really, really hard. It took a lot of planning.”
