    Adventure-based entertainment followed when in 2011 Laura finished as runner up on Dancing on Ice. Laura then went on to host five series of the action based challenge show Fort Boyard for ITV.

  • A Passion for Property

    Laura’s property journey began at 19 with the renovation of her first home. Since then, she has developed over 20 properties, blending design, investment, and sustainability.

    In 2017, she transformed Lord Roberts on The Green into a thriving café and deli, also serving as postmistress and landlady, creating a valued community space.
