‘Absolute Shenanigans’: Laura Whitmore Hosts 'Insane' Baby Shower and Birthday Bash

Laura Whitmore, who is expecting her second child with her husband, Iain Stirling, took to her social media handle to share some glimpses of her baby shower.

The television host made the occasion a fun-filled affair with some fun games and karaoke sessions.

The former video jockey opted for a tight-fitting white top with lace trousers. Whitmore hosted the event at BAM Karaoke Box UK in London.

The photo dump shared by Whitmore on her Instagram included her posing with her friends, cutting a celebratory cake, playing some raunchy games, jamming in the karaoke sessions, and posing with a drag queen.

Whitmore captioned her Instagram post, “BIRTH day with gladly no other surprise births! So grateful to my gorgeous friends for the most fun, insane birthday baby shower absolute shenanigans!”

Interestingly, her baby shower was also celebrated along with her 41st birthday, which fell on May 4. One of her friends wrote in the comments section, “Happy birthday and bump day gorgeous !! Wish I could have been there, but some of those high notes might have made me pop.”

One Instagram user stated, “You look disgustingly healthy and amazing for 40 and pregnant.”

Another user added, “Happy birthday, my love!!! What a fabulous day!! I’m sure little baby bump loved the surround sound of our singing and karaoke from inside! Hahahaha.”

Whitmore, who is already a mother to a daughter, Stevie Ré -- born in March 2021 -- announced in February this year that she would embrace motherhood for the second time.

At the time, Whitmore had shared a series of pictures of herself flaunting her baby bump, following which, congratulatory messages from her friends and fans poured in under the post.

Her caption read, “Instagram V Reality - Spoiler: It wasn't just a big meal mama ate. She's been cooking away! I'd like to thank stretchy pants and travel sick bags.”

However, Whitmore, along with her husband, is known to be quite private about their personal life and does not share pictures of their daughter quite often on their social media accounts.

In a 2022 interview with The Sunday Times, the former Survival of The Fittest spoke about the criticism and scrutiny she had received after returning to work just two weeks following the birth of her first child.

Speaking on the scrutiny and how her personality changed after embracing motherhood, Whitmore said, “At the start of your career, you want to get along with everyone and don‘t want to question things. Once you have a child, you are questioning things to make it better for the next generation. Once, I accepted that people would take pictures up my skirt. Now I think, Why the f*** didn’t I speak out? I will not put up with b******* anymore.”

While addressing the scrutiny surrounding her return to work early after the birth of her daughter, Whitmore highlighted the "misogyny" of the society.

“Misogyny has infiltrated society where women think like that, too. But I proved that you can have a big job when you have a child. I’m not saying you have to work, but I wanted to, and I’m proud. You want to be a role model for your child,” Whitmore added.
