A Life in TV, Property, and Entrepreneurship
Breaking into Television
Laura’s TV career began at 18, working behind the scenes on Top of the Pops, Big Brother, and Harry Potter. Encouraged by Dermot O’Leary and Vernon Kay, she soon transitioned into presenting, starting with CITV’s The Fun Song Factory, Nickelodeon’s Slime Across the UK, and Cartoon Network's Staraoke
Adventure-based entertainment followed when in 2011 Laura finished as runner up on Dancing on Ice. Laura then went on to host five series of the action based challenge show Fort Boyard for ITV. That same year, property and travel took centre stage with Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun, where Laura remains one of the show’s most recognisable faces. Just weeks after giving birth in 2014, The Jump became the next challenge.
Alongside this, home renovation and property expertise led to presenting roles on Beat My Build (Channel 4) and Cowboy Builders and Bodge Jobs (Channel 5), further cementing a reputation in lifestyle and property television.
A Passion for PropertyLaura’s property journey began at 19 with her first renovation. Since then, she has developed over 20 properties, blending design, investment, and sustainability.
In 2017, she transformed Lord Roberts on The Green into a thriving café and deli, also serving as postmistress and landlady, creating a valued community space. In 2022, she completed The Rebuild, a historic property restoration featuring solar panels and an air source heat pump, showcasing her commitment to sustainable development.
Laura's latest projects in Mallorca, Dubai and Surrey continue to reflect Laura's passion for creating unique, forward-thinking spaces.
New Ventures2026 will see Laura launch her very own YouTube Channel 'Property with Laura Hamilton'. The channel will include property advice, tips, hacks and 'how to' videos, AND an exclusive insight into Laura's personal property projects. New episodes will be streamed each week.
With over 16 years experience in the overseas property market, 2025 saw Laura launch a new online educational course on 'How to Buy, Renovate & Beyond' with guides on Spain and Dubai currently available and Florida coming soon.
In July 2024, Laura launched The Mile Fly Club, a fun entertaining, informative podcast where she connects with guests to discuss travel & lifestyle experiences. Series 1 and 2 is currently streaming on Spotify.
