In 2012, Laura joined A Place in the Sun and has been a regular on the daytime programme ever since. It's clear that during Laura's time on the show, she's made firm friends with the other stars, in particular Jasmine Harman, who has been a regular host since the first series landed in 2004.

"What I love about Jas is, obviously, she's done the show for almost twice as long as I have, but she was incredibly welcoming. And then in the ten years since I joined, we've gone through the same experiences together."
She added: "We had two children at the same time and our children have had the same experience of travelling together, being on the road. We know what each other's been going through. And now our children know each other and they play together."
