Laura Whitmore: Now confident in her own skin as she poses for glossy magazine shoot

Laura Whitmore: 'I had a better body when I was 18 - but I hated it' Star says she's now confident in her own skin as she poses for glossy magazine shoot

  • Presenter, 28, reveals she is much more 'body-wise' now
  • Says her career is like a crazy rollercoaster
  • Presented at last night's MTV EMAs 
  • Flew to Australia after awards for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! NOW! 
Laura Whitmore knows how to work a red carpet - which is why she was the perfect person to present coverage from the 'black carpet' at the MTV Europe VMAs on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Irish presenter is always perfectly groomed, fabulously attired and oozing self-assurance.
However, speaking in Irish Stellar magazine, she said: 'I don't think any woman is 100 per cent confident in her own skin. When you get older though, it's about learning what does and doesn't work for you, style-wise.'

'I think that's the difference between me now and when I was 18. Back then, I probably had a better body than I do now, but I hated it because I was so self-conscious. All I ever wore was baggy pants.
'I think I'm more body-wise than body-confident now. I feel at my sexiest when I'm wearing a great dress that I feel comfortable in. There's nothing worse than wearing a gorgeous dress you can't breathe in.' 
    Laura had to jet off straight to Australia after fronting her segment of the MTV awards last night to prepare for her next job presenting on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! NOW!.
