She has become a household name since taking on the Love Island hosting duties from Caroline Flack in 2020.
Confirming her departure from Auntie Beeb, Heidi Dawson - controller of BBC Radio 5 Live - told MailOnline: "Laura has made the difficult ¬decision to leave after a brilliant four years."
Heidi went on to pay tribute to Laura's work, saying: "We'd like to thank her for the energy, insight and humour she has brought to this programme and look forward to ¬working with her again in the near future."
Earlier this week, the mum-of-one and her husband Iain Stirling celebrated some “very exciting news”.
The Bray native captioned a post on her social media: “Little celebration last night. I’m a huge believer in timing, and yesterday everything just clicked into place and I got some very exciting news.”
“Sometimes life moves so fast you forget to be still and just enjoy the moment. Going to be a busy year so it’s important to take a breath. Also massive red moon last night was pretty spectacular!”
Laura has been reportedly paid £600,000 for hosting the ITV2 show as well we the spin off show, Aftersun.
BBC Radio 5 Live will launch a new Sunday morning show combining sport and current affairs discussion, which will lead into the afternoon of live football commentaries.
