She wrote: "The last few days have been interesting to say the least… Being a Mum is THE most important job in the world and no matter what Rocco and Tahlia will ALWAYS come first. This brave little boy has been through it over the last few weeks and I just want to thank the NHS for helping him get better. #nhs #thankyou #priorities #children."

Laura has two children

Laura's former husband Alex Goward is father to her two children, but the pair split recently after getting married in 2012.

Speaking about the couple's decision to go their separate ways, Laura told HELLO!: "It was a decision we both came to. We have an enormous amount of respect for each other, but we are now on different paths.

"At the point it was announced, we'd already overcome a lot of difficult times. But I am lucky that we have the relationship and respect for each other that we have, and our children's happiness will always be our priority."
