Laura on balancing work and motherhood
The TV star shares son Rocco, 11, and daughter Tahlia, 10, with her former husband Alex Goward. Alongside enjoying family trips, the presenter has been open about the demands of combining motherhood with a television career involving frequent travel.
She admitted that the juggling act can become “chaotic”, but told The Sun that she could not imagine giving up her work.
Laura said: “I have every respect for anyone who’s a full-time mum, I just couldn’t do that. I love my career as well as being a mum, and I’ve managed to find a way to make it work.”
The property expert explained that she tries to arrange filming for periods when the children are staying with their father, giving her time to concentrate fully on work. She also praised her employer for offering enough flexibility for the children to travel with her when circumstances allow.
Laura has also defended her co-parenting arrangement after some people suggested it was sad for the children.
She told The Mirror: “I really don’t like it when people comment and go, ‘Oh, it’s sad for the children!'”
Laura added: “Why is it sad for children? Actually, it is brilliant for the child that they get to spend time with both parents – and that both parents are happier!”
The exercise behind Laura’s toned physique
MailOnline reports that Laura has previously credited her toned physique to daily movement and a varied exercise routine. Her workouts include strength training, yoga and reformer Pilates.
The approach means she mixes different types of activity rather than relying on a single form of exercise.
In a separate interview with Closer, Laura discussed the budget-conscious meals she enjoys at home. She explained that she aims to keep the weekly food bill for herself and her two children at about £75.
She said: “I’m an Aldi convert now. I try to budget around £75 a week for the three of us which is really achievable when shopping there.”
Laura said she keeps lean sources of protein such as salmon, chicken and turkey mince in her fridge, as well as berries, sweetcorn, watermelon, protein yoghurts, protein bars and houmous.
Her usual meals include a protein shake with oats and matcha for breakfast, or a jacket potato with tuna, mayonnaise and cheese at lunchtime. Dinner might be salmon with noodles and stir-fried vegetables.
However, the presenter insisted that she is not overly restrictive about food and has encouraged her children to enjoy a wide range of dishes. If she were cooking for guests, Laura said she would choose slow-roast lamb served with dauphinoise potatoes and broccoli.
