2:22 A Ghost Story follows a couple who have recently moved into a new house where every night, at 2:22 am, the wife hears someone moving around the house. She comes to believe the house is haunted while her husband rubbishes the idea. The couple are soon joined by another couple, their friends, who stay up with them to see what happens at that fateful time of 2:22.
It is unclear which role Whitmore will be playing, but given her prominent presence on the poster, she could be playing the main role of Jenny, the wife.

Whitmore is best known for her hosting duties on ITV2's Love Island. She's also hosted a number of other reality and competition shows, too, including Survival of the Fittest. This is her West End in debut in a huge career move for Whitmore, suggesting she could very well be looking to move into acting.
Whitmore will star in 2:22 A Ghost Story from September 6 to January 8 next year.
