Fans couldn't believe her age (Sama Kai/Dave Benett/Getty Image)Laura rarely posts about her family life, yet has shared rare insights over the years. She is married to Dean Brown, whom she wed in 2010, and the pair share daughter Charlotte, six, together. In 2021 she gave a rare interview about her daughter and revealed how they became close after she had a tough start to life. Laura, who has been on GMB for 10 years after leaving BBC's Daybreak, opened up to the Mirror's Notebook magazine about her daughter being born 12 weeks premature.
She explained how Dr Hilary Jones told her to go to hospital immediately after she suffered stomach pains on the Good Morning Britain set. It turned out she was going into labour 12 weeks early. Charlotte weighed just 2lb 8oz on arrival and had a weak immune system, which left her unable to live a normal life and socialise during her first two years.

Laura recalled: "If you knew what was happening, you’d be very worried, but I didn’t know I was going into labour. I turned up at work, I had a tummy ache, the wardrobe lady said, 'My goodness, you don’t look well.' Charlotte [Hawkins] said, 'Oh, it’s Braxton Hicks.' Dr Hilary was on his way in, so Debbie in wardrobe phoned him and he said, 'It sounds like she might be going into labour but don’t tell her. I don’t want her to worry. St Thomas’s hospital is down the road, which has the best unit in the country for premature birth.'
"I just turned up at hospital, then slowly it dawned on me, 'OK, fine. It’s going to happen'." She recently opened up on the experience again, as she returned to the neonatal unit for the first time since she gave birth to Charlotte. Laura showed her support for a new campaign to donate tiny baby nappies to NICU units to help babies who are born prematurely.
She said: "I am so proud to be part of this fantastic campaign supporting families and babies in need at this critical time. As I’m sure you all know, Charlotte was born 27 weeks at just 2lb 8oz. It was a very difficult period in our lives, and I know what incredible impact the campaign with Ickle Pickles and Mama Bamboo will have on these families going through what I did 6 years ago."
