Life, love (and the lolly after Strictly) are good for Laura
LAURA WHITMORE is set to end the year on a high as profits at her company soar and her love life goes from strength to strength.
The 31-year-old presenter filed accounts for her media company, Yer Wan Limited, this week and they show a bumper balance sheet with accumulated profits of almost £650,000 (€730,000).
Her company incorporates all of her earnings from her television appearances and other high-profile DJ gigs.
The accounts are for last year, when Laura competed on the hugely popular BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.
It was reported at the time that she was paid £75,000 for appearing on the show.
During the year her accounts took a massive upward swing of £140,000 and the profits now stand at £643,588. Debts to creditors reduced from £183,926 to just £58,543.
The blonde Bray beauty was eliminated quite early from Strictly and her stint on the show was somewhat overshadowed by reports of a rift with dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
At the time it was claimed their relationship was ‘toxic’ and reports emerged alleging Laura had sent ‘abusive’ text messages to Giovanni in the aftermath of their elimination.
However, Laura took to social media to shoot down the claims and reveal her upset at the ‘lies’ being told.
‘I believe in kindness. I am heartbroken,’ she told fans about claims that were printed.
But that heartbreak is behind her now and her finances are in tip-top shape. So, it seems, is her love life. Laura has been sharing photos with comedian boyfriend Iain Stirling on social media, including one of them snuggled in bed together while on holiday in Denmark.
