I do not reach such a conclusion as the following one easily.
A lot of considered reflection over time has gone into it and many things have been taken into account.
I now believe Laura Whitmore is Ireland's worst television host of all time.
I never envisaged myself thinking anyone outside of "Xposé" could assume such a status in my own mind. Of course others may disagree with my assertion as they are more than entitled so to do.
The key to the quality of any television presenter in my mind has always been one guiding principle above all others.
Honesty of endeavour.
It leaks through the gaps in Laura's every action and every interaction.
Every look and every word.
Quality of performance is obviously key.
The ability to keep producing, keep improving, keep evolving, keep innovating, keep stimulating and keep wowing the crowds all of critical importance.
Laura has demonstrated a complete lack of this in unmitigated abundance.
Even without a previous backdrop of rather less appearances than most due to COVID restrictions, Laura still managed to achieve less in two months than virtually everyone else can manage in two minutes in terms of visual stimulation.
Now she appears to be unfairly getting into a regular run of ITV2 appearances and the difference in performance level to everyone else is marked.
All with such arrogance, such unlikeability, such cockiness, such nastiness and such unassuming dishonesty.
The art of under delivering, defying public popularity and not living up to expectation has become an impossibly regular norm for Laura above any other host in the history of British and Irish television.
In a reality show culture still far too polluted by scam, deceit and disreputable practice Laura stands as the raging storm of arrogance, vapidness and dislike.
Her membership of the Love Island community and how she uses it is positively anything but a force for good.
Performance wise there has never been anyone worse imo.
Character wise nobody has ever come close.
Laura Whitmore has gotten on my nerves like nobody else since the Kardashians.
Through limitless negation on screen of course but more importantly through just who she is. The ultimate insult of all to the ultimate pariah of them all.
