The presenter took to social media on Monday to explain the situation to fans, also dropping the bombshell that she's moved out of her brand new house and into a rental property. "I'm very frustrated because I don't have any symptoms really…It was when I did my test yesterday morning before I was travelling to the airport that I found out I was covid positive," Laura told her followers.

Filming from a new location, she told everyone: "I moved into a new rental property which is where I'm staying now for a good few months whilst I renovate the inside of my new house which is all very exciting. I'm unpacked and all set up in this place and all good."

Behind Laura a luxurious bed could be seen with white pillows and striped cushions and beside the bed is a bedside table with a cream lamp perched on it. It looks like she's made her temporary home oh-so cosy!

Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, the star admitted the struggle in leaving her family home and former life behind. "It was a chapter of my life that I am now closing, and I have so many happy memories. I am very much someone who believes in focusing on the future, not having regrets, and I want to be positive for my children."
