Love Island narrator Iain Stirling admits he 'hates the sound of his own voice'

Love Island narrator Iain Stirling has revealed that he hates the sound of his own voice.

During an appearance on a podcast, the Scottish comedian shocked listeners by admitting his voice is his most annoying quality. The 34-year-old comedian, who is married to and has a child with Love Island host Laura Whitmore, is a household name thanks to his hilarious commentary of the ITV2 dating show.

Viewers love Iain's savage quips about the Islanders as he narrates the show, but he isn't a fan of listening to himself speak.

Speaking to comedians Seann Walsh and Paul McCaffrey on their podcast, What's Upset You Now?, Iain said that he "hates" the sound of his voice.

On the podcast, Iain spoke about some of the things that annoy him in life, when the focus turned to loud people. Iain admitted: "I don’t actually mind loud people." Seann asked Iain: “Would you say that you’re loud? Are you loud? I think you’re loud You’re not irritatingly loud but you are loud”

Iain replied: “Am I? I suppose my voice carries actually. The thing I hate about myself is that my voice has that frequency or something but yet it carries. You know I am coming, which I hate about myself. I actually hate that about myself.”

The Scottish comedian then turned his attention to the hotel where he is staying while working on Love Island. He took a sharp dig at some that are staying at the same establishment.

Iain said: "I’m in a hotel at the moment because I am working out in Spain and the stuff that people get wound up about at the hotel is unbelievable. The other day, a guy sits down on his first day at the hotel, a woman comes over to take his room number, obviously to see whether or not his breakfast is paid and he’s like ‘uh? why are you asking this today?’"

Iain joked: "Because you’re in a hotel. Also, you’ve been given your room number, remember the room number you were told an hour ago, say it out loud and then go and get your free bacon. What is the problem with these people?"
