A PLACE in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox.
Presenter Laura, 43, says early-morning gym sessions and weight training are now a regular part of her routine – and she's even built a gym in her home to stay on track.

Speaking to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards, she said: 'I was in the gym yesterday and I do lots of weights. I know loads of women in their mid-forties who are always talking about weights massively.
"I was always into cardio, but since I ran the London Marathon, I've got more into weights.'
Laura, who shares son Rocco, 11, and daughter Tahlia, 10, with her ex-husband Alex Goward, often squeezes in workouts before the school run.
She said: 'I sometimes get up at 5am to do so. My friends and I joke that we're in the 5am club. I don't do it every day, but most mornings.'
As she's moved into her forties, Laura says she's become more conscious about skincare and wellness – taking collagen and learning routines from her 10-year-old daughter.
The TV personality said: 'She's so into skincare – I take tips off her, because I was never like that as a teenager.'
Channel 4 star Laura also confirmed she has had cosmetic tweakments, admitting: 'Oh absolutely. I've had Botox before, and there's lots of people who do it, so whatever suits you. If you want to do something, then do it for you.'
And despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice.
She gushed: 'I love watching things on Instagram where you'll see someone who has had work done, and someone who hasn't. Whether you're on television or not, it's completely up to you.'
Back in 2022, Laura opened up about being hailed a "pin-up" and how she often received X-rated messages.

"I get some nice complimentary messages from people," she explained to The Daily Star during a Facebook Live.
She then revealed that she was sent a rather X-rated snap.
Laura explained at the time how she was sent a photo of one of her followers in a face mask, adding: "But let's just say it wasn't of their face."
Speaking of being a pin-up, Laura gushed over how it's "really nice" to be dubbed as a "national beauty".

Real reason X Factor star Yazmin is on Love Island's Casa Amor ‘given away' by her former girl group's instagram post

CASA Amor bombshell Yaz Broom's real reason for signing up for Love Island has been 'given away' after her former girl group made a telling move on social media. Yaz, 26, now works as a DJ but she enjoyed brief success with girl group Four Of Diamonds after making it to The X Factor live shows in 2016. 3 3 3 The group - also made up of Caroline Alvares, Lauren Rammell and Sophia Saffarian - went on hiatus in 2020 after being signed to EMI Records and releasing a string of singles. Despite this, the group's official Instagram was reactivated as Yaz made her Love Island debut last night - suggesting they're hoping to use her time on the show to make a comeback. Yaz is growing close to hunky Giorgio Russo and during one of their chats she opened up about her time as a pop star. Gio, 30, asked why the group went their separate ways, and Yaz said: 'Lockdown. We just couldn't perform anything.' And fans were quick to comment on the revelation, with one writing: 'At least we finally have the answer why you split lol.' The group responded: 'Woops. Look, we haven't split, we're on hiatus!!' Another fan begged for 'one more tour', to which the group teased: 'For old time's sake?' After successfully making it through to The X Factor live shows in 2016, Four Of Diamonds pushed on until week five of the competition before being eliminated. The girls were sent home following a sing off with Gifty Louise, when only their mentor Louis Walsh voted to save them. Italian stallion Gio is currently coupled up with bombshell Yasmin Pettet, who has undoubtedly made the biggest impact on the villa - shocking her co-stars with threesome offers and leaving the other girls fuming by kissing their men. Gio and Yasmin appeared to have hit it off before the Islanders were split into two for Casa Amor. So Yaz will have her work cut out if she wants to turn Gio's head to win a place in the main villa.

There's more to the Bayeux Tapestry loan deal than meets the eye…

President Macron's loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum is the perfect way to mark King Charles III's first state visit of his reign. It ticks all the boxes. It's the greatest relic of Anglo-Norman royal history, probably commissioned in the 1070s by Odo of Bayeux, William the Conqueror's half-brother, who became the Earl of Kent after the Conquest. And the tapestry's extreme beauty – strictly speaking, it's an embroidery – appeals to Charles's aesthetic side. It features the King's direct ancestor, William the Conqueror – the monarch who, more than any other, created England, with a Norman infusion of blood and mighty Romanesque churches, cathedrals and castles. What's more, the tapestry is coming home. The smart money suggests the tapestry was made in Kent – Odo's heartland – before finding its way to Bayeux. Macron has been pondering this perfect present since 2018, when he first said the tapestry would come here for a 2022 exhibition. Conservation worries put the present on hold. Strictly speaking, Macron's present is really a loan: it will be swapped temporarily, going on display between September 2026 and July 2027, with museums in Normandy receiving Anglo-Saxon treasures from the Sutton Hoo ship burial. The exhibition is expected to be a once-in-a-generation blockbuster, attracting millions to the British Museum, perhaps even eclipsing the popularity of the museum's most popular show, its 1972 Tutankhamun event. After a successful holiday here, the artefact will certainly return to Bayeux. In so many ways, the Bayeux Tapestry's return is like the mooted return of the Elgin Marbles to Athens, currently being brokered by George Osborne, the museum's chairman. Like the Elgin Marbles, the tapestry is of vital national importance to its original home, if indeed it was first stitched in England. Like the marbles, it has ended up in a different country. And now, just as is mooted with the marbles, the tapestry is being loaned back to that original home. George Osborne is a good historian. We sat in seminars together in the early 1990s at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was a Demy – Magdalen's word for a scholar. He, more than anyone, will appreciate the delicious similarities between Macron's masterstroke and his own plan to see the Elgin Marbles back in Athens. Osborne is forbidden by statute from actually giving them to Greece; the British Museum Act of 1963 prevents the museum from disposing of its holdings. Parliament would have to make changes to the Act in order for that to happen – not something that's high on its priority list in these febrile terms. Could the tapestry loan be a precursor to a marbles deal – a way of showing the Greeks the rules of engagement, without contravening the Act? There is one big difference: once the Bayeux Tapestry arrives in London, neither the King nor Keir Starmer – nor anyone in England, for that matter – will fight to keep it here. It isn't just the Elgin Marbles that hold a place in Greek hearts, it is the raging desire to have them back. Any Greek prime minister who gets them back, even on loan, will be a national hero. Any Greek prime minister who then sends them back to the British Museum will become a national pariah. Any loan agreement with the Greeks will thus not be worth the paper it's written on. Paving the way with the Bayeux Tapestry loan – which offers a contemporary blueprint for how such things can be done – is a shrewd political move by those who want Greece to have the marbles back for good. It isn't beyond the wit of government lawyers to construct an arrangement that gives the appearance of being time-limited when it is essentially permanent. After its blockbuster exhibition, the Bayeux Tapestry will return to Bayeux, and it may well come back here one day. If the Elgin Marbles go to Athens, however, they will never return.

'I will not go quietly,' Gregg Wallace says amid reports he's been dropped by the BBC

Former MasterChef host Gregg Wallace has vowed he will "not go quietly", amid reports that he has been dropped by the BBC. It comes after the TV host faced an investigation, commission by MasterChef's production company Banijay UK, into alleged inappropriate behaviour while working for the BBC. In November, he stepped back from presenting the cooking show after accusations that he made sexual comments towards staff and celebrity guests on a range of programmes over 17 years. In a statement, released ahead of the publication of the summary of a report into the claims, the 60-year-old said he had been "cleared of the most serious and sensational accusations" made against him. However, he said the report, carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin, had found him "primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018". In a statement, published on Instagram, Wallace wrote: "I have taken the decision to speak out ahead of the publication of the Silkins report - a decision I do not take lightly. "But after 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others. "I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me. "The most damaging claims (including from public figures which have not been upheld) were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation. "To be clear, the Silkins Report exonerates me of all the serious allegations which made headlines last year and finds me primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018." Wallace said he recognised that "some of my humour and language" was at times "inappropriate" and that he apologised "without reservation". "But I was never the caricature now being sold for clicks," Wallace, who also referred to his recent diagnosis of autism, added. "I was hired by the BBC and MasterChef as the cheeky greengrocer. A real person with warmth, character, rough edges, and all. "For over two decades, that authenticity was part of the brand. Now, in a sanitised world, that same personality is seen as a problem."
