On Instagram, she excitedly shared: "I have some news and this is something I have been wanting to share with you for some time with you but it just hasn't felt quite right. As many of you know this time last year I brought a property in Majorca and it was a renovation project because that's exactly what I love.

"However, things have taken a lot longer, when you're renovating a property you're waiting for various licences, permits and it is a slow process. The project is still very much underway it's just taking a lot longer than I anticipated", reports the Liverpool Echo.

In a further revelation, Laura disclosed to her followers that she has spent the last year frequently visiting Dubai. She explained: "You might have seen that from my stories and posts that I have been doing. I have been coming to Dubai for many years and when you do the job that I do you love exploring the world."

The property guru has disclosed her recent ventures in Dubai, having spent the past year "seriously looking at the property market here [Dubai]", engaging with various developers and exploring different locales.

Laura shared: "A couple of months ago I purchased my very own property here in Dubai, in Dubai marina. I am here this week with the children showing them the property for the first time."

She describes the four-year-old property as a canvas to imprint her own "stamp" on.

The Channel 4 star expressed her excitement in a video caption: "I've been wanting to share this for the past 3 months...and now feels like the right time to finally share it."

She elaborated on her decision: "It's a move that's all about property, potential, and thinking internationally. A new investment in a place known for its sunshine, skyline, and serious opportunity."

Laura's fans were overjoyed with her property update. Sarah exclaimed: "Congratulations Laura! I spent many years in Dubai and The Marina is a beautiful area. I hope you enjoy it!"

Julann chimed in: "Congratulations Laura! I hope you have a fantastic week with the children, and manage to get the wallpapering done too! And good luck with the continuing renovation project in Mallorca!"

Nigel shared his enthusiasm: "So exciting - congratulations! A location I've been considering investing in for a while too! Looking forward to the property reveal."

Another follower commented: "Congratulations Laura that's amazing."
