Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore and husband Iain Stirling cosied up together on a rare night out.
The television host, who recently shared rare pictures of the couple’s daughter, joined her comedian husband at the Soccer Aid afterparty on Sunday 12 June following the first instalment of Love Island: After Sun.
Iain, 34, had been on commentating duties at the London Stadium alongside Sam Matterface.
The celebrity football match, which raises money for charity UNICEF, saw the World XI beat the England team for a fourth year in a row.
At the afterparty celebrating the win, Laura, 37, posted a selfie of the loved-up pair on her Instagram stories, writing: “Managed to see this fella briefly! Congrats rest of the world @socceraid and all the money raised for @unicef.”
The pair were pictured leaving the party at 4am.
Laura wore a brown, red and orange floral mini dress with bright red ankle boots and an oversized black leather jacket as she rocked up at the star-studded party, which also included the likes of former Love Island winner Kem Cetinay, Mark Wright and football legend Robbie Keane.
She had made a quick change from her vintage 90s outfit for the first episode of After Sun.
Laura was joined on the sofa by Made in Chelsea’s Sam Thompson, and comedians Darren Harriott and Donna Preston.
Since the start of the most recent series of Love Island, there has been a lot spoken about when it comes to Laura’s role as host.
Earlier this month, she posted a TikTok video responding to comments about her job, including her salary, which was estimated to be £500,000 for this current series.
“Laura has the easiest job on telly! She gets paid £50k a min. It’s an outrage,” she wrote, as an example of comments she’d seen online.
She then responded: “Firstly, Iain has never had attention on money he earns. Why don’t we like women earning money?
“I b***dy wish I earned what was written in the press! I only get paid on days I work.”
Former contestant Amy Day has also slated Laura’s hosting skills during the highly-anticipated reunion show last year.

Her comments came after fellow islander, Rachel Finni, commented: “I’m kind of gutted Laura Whitmore is hosting it though, I thought we’d get a nice Maya Jama or AJ Odudu.
“The benefits you get from being married to the narrator, ‘cause she’s not a great host.”
Laura responded to this on her Instagram stories in April, and added it was “horrible” to read such comments from other women.
"I’m not going to give too much energy to it because there's always stuff like this and you kind of just brush it off but I think we need to be careful when we discuss women and their work,” she wrote.
"I've worked in telly for 14 years. I won a competition to be the face of MTV and have stayed working from job to job. I’ve done incredible things all over the world, I’ve worked with the best teams, but I've never got a job because of a guy I dated.”
Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2.
