Laura Whitmore: I think it’s really important to know your worth and to use your voice in some way

"I don’t know if I’d change anything about my past. If I hadn’t done stuff, I wouldn’t get to where I am now. You can learn things on the way."

Laura Whitmore: "I’m really impatient. And I’m very loyal and I’m stubborn."

Growing up for me was about spending time with the strong women in my life. I have a great relationship with my dad but in the house, it was just me and my mum. My nanny, my dad’s mum, passed away when I was 10. I was very close to her. She had a flat in Temple Bar, which is where my dad grew up. They were proper Dubs, you could see the Ha’penny Bridge from her window.

I remember moving into our house in Bray. It was a new build with concrete floors. I had my own bedroom in the new house and they had these mirrored wardrobes which I just thought was the coolest thing ever.
