"I just screamed 'Oh my God! Oh my God! Alex was saying, 'Are you going to answer me? And I said, 'Yes! Yes! Yes,' and literally jumped into his arms. "And the surprises weren’t over yet. Laura, who was recently named as the new presenter for Channel 4 property show A Place in the Sun, was then whisked off to a beautiful celebratory dinner at a top London hotel. "All the staff were in on it," she says.
