The filming comes after Laura claimed she is ‘staying positive’ after announcing her split from her now ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers last month.

The reality star and ex pop singer Dane, 42, went their separate ways after first striking up a relationship in 2017 before rekindling in 2021.

Laura packed up her belongings and moved out of the Dubai home she shared with Dane just days after announcing their separation.

When asked how she’s doing after the break-up and following her move back to the UK, she told the Mirror: ‘I’m good. Just being positive. Moving forward with life, you’ve got to. Happy to be back in the UK and just working. I feel really good.’

Laura previously said she was living out of her suitcases after splitting from Dane but she is now back in the UK and is particularly glad to be settling back in to her home nation of Scotland.

She added: ‘I’m glad to be back in the UK in general and be in Scotland, so maybe some exciting things there.’

According to The Sun, Celebs Go Dating bosses were keen for her to appear on an upcoming series as soon as they heard she was single again.

A source told the publication: ‘Laura is the latest star to sign up for Celebs Go Dating – and she’s only been single for a matter of hours.

‘She is a great addition to the line-up and will be really entertaining on screen.

‘Dane might not be too impressed to see her trying to snare another bloke on national television – especially because their break up is so fresh.’

Ella, 22, admitted her concerns over ‘what people will think’ about her relationship with Pete but admitted that she is ‘more mature than her age’. 

She told The Sun: ‘He is 11 years older than me. It is quite a bit,’ before confessing that Pete worries about outside opinions. 

‘It’s hard because in my head I am not 21, I feel like I am more mature than my age and I get that from people too. 

‘Even Pete doesn’t feel like he’s talking to a 21-year-old when he talks to me.’

Ella also expressed her fears about the pair not being able to stay friends if their romance didn’t work out, saying she isn’t sure if Pete is ‘looking for a relationship’.
