Love Island champion Toni Laites is being considered for a significant presenting opportunity in the United States, with former Love Island winner Cara De La Hoyde endorsing her to lead a major show.
Cara, who clinched victory on the ITV2 dating series in 2016 alongside her now-husband Nathan Massey, has shared guidance on navigating post-villa life with Toni, encouraging her to seize every chance that comes her way. She also cautioned about the fleeting nature of fame post-reality TV shows.
Discussing Toni’s potential prospects, Cara expressed, “I think take as much as you can get because you’ve got a short period, babe, so go get that money! I think she should go and do Aftersun for the American series. She’d be really good for that. I’m sure we’ll see her back on TV anyway, she’s great.”
Toni, who captured the nation’s affection when she emerged victorious earlier this summer, has already been linked to new television projects. Cara emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities promptly, suggesting that Toni should consider hosting Love Island USA: Aftersun.
Cara also provided insights on the upcoming Love Island: All Stars, set to make a comeback in early 2026. While expressing her fondness for the show’s format, she raised concerns about the availability of significant personalities to maintain viewer interest.
Noting her own experience of transitioning from the villa into a committed relationship, Cara humorously revealed the pitfalls of rushing into cohabitation. She advised current islanders to maintain individual aspirations alongside their couple status, preparing for potential relationship challenges.
Reflecting on her Love Island journey nearly a decade later, Cara expressed pride in her participation and refrained from criticizing the show. She commended individuals aiming to enhance their lives through social media following and emphasized the importance of personal growth alongside relationship commitments.
With Cara’s encouraging words, it appears that Toni is on track for a promising future, possibly including a leading role on the US spin-off. It’s a story worth watching.
