Laura will next appear as Jenny in the West End production of 2:22 – A Ghost Story this Autumn.

Following in the footsteps of stars including Lily Allen and Stephanie Beatriz, Laura recently teased her leading role in the project to fans on Instagram.

Posting to her Instagram stories, the mum-of-one shared several photos of herself being fitted in costume.

In a caption alongside the photos, Laura wrote: "Costume designer: just stand still for some shots.

"Me: [flex]."

The former MTV star could be seen pulling a series of funny poses as she tried on her costume which comprised of floral pattern trousers, a Cambridge University t-shirt, a pair of furry slippers and an oversized dress shirt.

Laura's role in the spooky stage show marks her West End debut.

She will appear in the play alongside Busted's Matt Willis, Tamsin Carroll and Felix Scott.

Announcing the part on Instagram, she previously wrote: "I'm joining the cast of 2:22 A Ghost Story from September 6th!

"Come see me on stage making my West End debut in this critically-acclaimed psychological thriller. For a limited run only, Book now!"

The project is the first in a series of jobs the presenter has lined up following her Love Island exit.

She will also front a new eponymous documentary series titled Laura Whitmore Investigates.

The three-part ITV show is set to "delve into difficult worlds" where "sex and power collide" and explore controversial topics.

Speaking about her involvement, Laura said: "It's a dream come true to have this platform and work with a brilliant team at ITV through this series of investigative films."
