It’s hard not to love Laura Whitmore.

When the TV presenter, broadcaster and actress isn’t juggling her variety of ongoing projects and appearances, she’s using her platform to raise awareness about a number of important issues from the gender pay gap to abortion access in Northern Ireland.

And her list of achievements doesn’t stop there. Alongside being a former stylist.co.uk guest editor (where she dedicated her takeover to “speaking up” for women’s voices), she’s also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and has spoken out about the moment she was sexually assaulted in a nightclub, calling for a stop to women “being trivialised and gossiped about” in the media.
