Back in 2019, Laura was quizzed by This Is Money about her money habits and relationships. The TV star revealed that buying her first property when she was just 19 turned out to be a major mistake.
When asked if she has ever struggled to make ends meet, Laura shared: “No, but I have been in a panic.”

Laura Hamilton on being made redundant
She explained: “I bought my first property when I was 19. A month after I completed on it, I was made redundant and I had a £95,000 mortgage to pay.”
Fortunately, things quickly turned around thanks to Laura’s mum and dad.

She said: “Thankfully, I had the support of my parents, so I decided to move back home and rent out my property. In hindsight, it was the best thing I could have done.”
Laura Hamilton’s love life
Outside of Laura’s career, her personal life has been of interest to the public. Back in 2012, Laura married broker husband Alex Goward. The pair started a family together, welcoming son Rocco, 10, and daughter Tahlia, nine.
However, after nine years of marriage, the pair announced they had split, which Laura said was amicable.
“It was a decision we both came to. We have an enormous amount of respect for each other, but we are now on different paths,” she said.
The star recently started a romance with a hunky new man.
