"[My time on the show] was a success. It doesn't really matter who you end up with as long as you're both happy," she told us.

"I definitely didn't expect it, not going to lie. He was just poke, poke, poke - let me in and I was like 'Okay then...'".

Unfortunately it's now come to light that Laura and Gary have split with the soap star confirming the news.

"I love Laura but we are no longer together. My main drive as always is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby," he told The Sun.

While this is Laura's first child, Gary is already a dad to four children from his marriage to Natasha Gray. They split in 2018 after 14 years together.
