First Dates star Laura Tott announces birth of first baby and cute name with adorable video

A baby boy!

Laura Tott, who used to appear on First Dates as a waitress, has revealed her happy baby news after giving birth to her first child.

The former Channel 4 personality exited the series a couple of years ago after filming switched from London to Manchester.

Laura, who was previously in the Royal Navy, finished her training as paramedic in 2019, balancing the job with her telly role.

But even though she isn’t on the box any more, Laura still has legions of fans following her life on social media.

And those supporters have rushed to congratulate her after she shared details about the new arrival.
