Laura Whitmore

Dublin native, Laura Whitmore, is currently taking part in BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, and has just received a very thoughtful gift from none other than Lady Gaga.

The singer sent Laura a bouquet of white roses along with a beautiful hand-written note.

"Your support of my music means the world to me! XO, Lady Gaga," the Bad Romance performer wrote.

 

How thoughtful! @ladygaga you gem! These made me smile. Always a pleasure xx

Laura shared a snap of the roses on Instagram and captioned the pic: "How thoughtful! @ladygaga you gem! These made me smile. Always a pleasure xx."

But the former MTV presenter wasn't the only one to receive a bunch of roses. Fellow Strictly contestant and radio presenter Melvin Odoom was also gifted the flowers along with the same note.

 

Thank you for the flowers @ladygaga

We can't wait to see her in action in April!

 

Not Dead Enough is due to open on April 18 in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre and will run for four days.

We're all looking forward to Laura Whitmore competing in Strictly Come Dancing, and now the first official photo of her with her dance partner Giovanni Pernice is finally here.

And we have to say, Laura looks the BOMB.

Posing in a sparkling yellow tassel dress, the former MTV presenter is all smiles for the camera.

The BBC captioned the snap, "@thewhitmore @pernicegiovann1 It's your first official photo as a pair! Whatcha think? #Strictly."

Laura recently told the Daily Star that the training with Giovanni has been hard and she's been working her "ass off."

We wish her the best of luck!

Being a successful TV presenter obviously has its perks – you get to meet incredible people, travel to exclusive locations and wear the nicest gear.  But as Laura Whitmore just pointed out, fame also has some major disadvantages.

It’s only been a day since the Bray native announced that she will be taking part in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing and already the paparazzi are creeping on her gaff.

And while many people would board up their windows in a bid to protect their privacy, Laura has decided to call out the “creepy photographer” in question for his actions.

 

 

In her latest tweet the 31-year-old star shared a picture of the photographer who is trying to snap a photo of her from a Mini parked outside her house.

In the accompanying message the London-based presenter said: “Creepy photographer outside my house…I see you.  Thanks for making me feel intimidated in my own home.”

Laura’s followers have been quick to support her statement as one tweeted “Disgusting!  Your home is where you are supposed to feel safe,” while another adopted a more light-hearted approach by writing: “@thewhitmore do a few dance steps for him.”

Niall Horan and Laura Whitmore were out celebrating their mate's birthday last night, and they certainly showed off their killer dance moves.

The pair are both part of LIC (the London Irish Crew), and while attending Jack Whitehall's birthday in London, they both sent their fans into a tizzy.

The video was originally posted on Laura's Snapchat, but of course, a few 1D fans posted the clip onto Instagram and Twitter.

Now, some people were NOT impressed by the pair having a boogie together:

But, a few others absolutely loved it and started talking about what their relationship name should be:

To be fair, it looks like they're having gas craic altogether.

The LIC (London Irish Crew) started up in 2014, when some of Ireland's biggest celebs met up in London to have a few pints.

This crew included the likes of Niall Horan, Bressie, Laura Whitmore and Eoghan McDermott as well as a few others.

However, in recent times, everyone has been mega busy leading their own lives, so LIC was supposedly no more… until now.

The gang all met back up again this week, and judging by Laura's Instagram snaps, they all had one hell of a time.

We have to admit, it's coincidental timing but Laura Whitmore is being lined up as the new host of the Xtra Factor.

Laura quit the I'm A Celeb spin-off this week after five years of presenting the show and in her statement said it was time to move onto something new.

The Irish Mirror is reporting that current hosts Melvin Odoom and Rochelle Humes are getting the axe and the Bray native is now in the forefront to snatch the job.

“It’s no wonder Laura is being considered for the part – she’s beautiful, smart and has no shortage of experience when it comes to presenting,” an insider told the paper.

Various media outlets have suggested that Laura Whitmore was axed from I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Now!, but the presenter has taken to social media to clarify what has happened.

The Irish beauty confirmed that SHE quit the show by making an official statement on her Instagram page.

"After 5 incredible series working with my extended I'm A Celeb family, I've taken the tough decision to hang up my jungle boots. It's been such a wonderful experience but I feel it's time to move on.

"I wish the team well and look forward to tuning in later this year as well as continuing to work with ITV on other shows."

Seconds later, she added a bit more: "This is a statement I released to the press yesterday. Sorry to say goodbye but been thinking about it for a long time and it's time. Still my favourite show on the telly!"

Aw, we'll sure miss her on the show.

Niall Horan's definitely one of the most down-to-earth Irish celebs out there, as he proved yesterday once again.

The One Direction singer joined Snapchat just last week, and yesterday posted this photo showing him doing something very un-celeb like indeed – taking the train to a gig.

"TUBE!" Niall captioned the Snap – as caputured by Goss.ie – which shows him sitting in an almost empty carriage on London's Northern Line.

Unexpectedly, Twitter soon exploded, with Londoners having meltdowns all over the place:

Judging by Laura Whitmore's social media updates later in the evening, Niall was en route to a Kodaline gig at The Roundhouse with some friends, including Irish-Moldovan presenter Diana Bunici:

But while Niall might have taken the Tube to the gig like Joe Soap, he did of course get to watch the gig from side-stage, because, well, he's Niall Horan.

We've always envied Laura Whitmore's trim bod – and now she's giving us the secrets to her fitness regime.

Speaking to The Star magazine, Laura said that she enjoys various ways to stay healthy.

"I’m obsessed with Bikram yoga – I try to do that four times a week – and I also run,” she said.

She also admitted that she stays away from diets – as many of them are fads – and believes that balance is all you need.

“It’s all about balance for me. I would never completely deny myself something. I don’t believe in starvation because food is too nice.

“Sometimes I use a fitness app and think to myself, ‘I either have a glass of wine or a bar of chocolate.'”

But as all women, Laura still has her hang-ups. "I like my legs but they could always be a bit longer,” she said.

We're loving her take on a healthy and balanced lifestyle… We might just adopt it ourselves!

She may have only broken up with her musician boyfriend Rory Williams in the last month, but it seems that Irish presenter Laura Whitmore is in hot demand. 

After her notorious run-in with Hollywood bachelor Leonard DiCaprio at the BAFTA's, it is now rumoured that the presenter is dating former Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden. 

Rich played Robb Stark in the popular HBO series until his character was killed off in the third season but went on to star as Prince Charming in the hotly anticpated live-action remake of Cinderella last year. 

According to the Sun, the pair were introduced through mutual pal and fellow GOT actor, Kit Harrington.

"Laura knows the Game of Thrones cast well, especially Kit, and got to know Richard through those connections," said a source to the paper. 

"She has been telling friends she is excited by the new romance. It’s still early days but it is already clear they really like each other."

"Richard immediately felt a connection and thinks this could go somewhere. There’s real chemistry between them."

"He has done much of the wooing but they’re both very keen."

Meanwhile, Laura also had the exact same reaction we would have had meeting one her fave 90s girl groups, Irish girlband B*Witched. 

And that reaction is to bother them for loads of selfies and also try to convince them to let her join the band.
