"It's only small but whenever I have professional photoshoots it seems that it gets airbrushed out and I'm not sure why? It's actually my birthmark and if it was a scar I don't think it should be airbrushed... scars, marks and imperfections tell stories and we need to embrace them #scars #birthmarks #imperfections #embrace."

A second echoed this, writing: "I've never noticed it, everyone should be accepted for who they are, not trying to point out flaws or be put under the microscope", while a third gushed: "Absolutely Laura well said, beautiful x."
Laura has been appearing on TV screens more often recently thanks to Channel 4 now airing A Place in the Sun on Sunday evenings. The presenter and co-star, Jonnie Irwin, appeared on Steph's Packed Lunch recently to celebrate the show reaching prime-time, when the two recalled a dramatic moment on set.

Jonnie told Steph: "We were filming out in Spain, and the proud owner was outside and before each house I go and make sure I know where everything is and I thought 'I just need another poke at that garden' just so I know what I'm talking about before they get in there."
"So I ran purposely through the house, of course they'd shut the patio door, and I just went straight through it. And then I was on my knees suddenly, like, 'What is going on', blood everywhere, the owner couldn't believe it."
