On the skating show, Laura was partnered with Canadian pro Colin Ratushniak and after impressing throughout the series they finished as runners-up to EastEnders star Sam Attwater.

Laura started her television career on children's television on shows such as Fun Song Factory.In 2011, she moved away from that area of television and landed her role on A Place In The Sun, making her debut on the show in 2012.It seems the perfect job for her, as Laura is a keen traveller and has visited a long list.
