Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore has been revealed as the host of a spin-off show for the hugely-popular Love Island, titled Survival of the Fittest.
The former MTV star will head up the ITV2 reality series which will be swapping out Majorca in favour of the South African savannah.
Whitmore took to Twitter and Instagram to tease the new TV project by posting a picture of two lions.

In the spin-off show, a team of girls and boys (who are all single) will live in The Lodge while going up against one another in daily challenges.
Whitmore, who is currently dating Love Island's narrator Iain Stirling, will be presenting the show live from South Africa.
"The ITV family always manages to come up with exciting and innovative formats and this brand new show is the ultimate boys versus girls," she said.
"Having worked on five series of I'm a Celeb... I didn't think that it was possible to find a backdrop as exotic as the Jungle – cue the African Savannah. I can't wait to get out there..!"
