A Place in the Sun producers faced a major headache this week after presenter Laura Hamilton had to pull out of a trip to Spain for filming.
The presenter, 39, is a popular figure on the house hunting show abroad, but had to apologise to her colleagues for being a no show after she contracted Covid-19.
The blonde beauty took to Instagram to say sorry to colleagues "letting them down" as she shared a snap of a positive test.
She uploaded the image to her Instagram Stories alongside the caption: "Was supposed to fly to Spain to film today! Sorry to let my team down @aplaceinthesun."
Laura has presented the show for more than a decade after joining in 2011 and has gone on to help many property buyers find their dream home in the sun.
Earlier this year she shocked fans when it was announced that she had split from her husband Alex Goward after a decade of marriage.
A source claimed at the time the marriage came under strain during the Covid lockdown after the pair had become accustomed to Laura being away for work.
Last month Laura broke her silence following the split to let her fans know she is okay.
The presenter opened up about setting up house alone following what she called a decision "we both came to".
Speaking to Hello! magazine, Laura said: "It was a chapter of my life that I am now closing, and I have so many happy memories."
She continued to say that while the pair have opted to travel different paths, they will keep respect for each other as they intend to make their children's happiness and wellbeing their priority.
The duo share two children together, son Rocco, eight, and daughter Tahlia, six.
While the relationship breakdown hasn't stopped Laura's desire to one day find love again, she admits that she is not currently on the lookout.
She jetted to Spain as news of her split from insurance broker Alex was made public and broke the news of their break-up using an image featuring artwork displaying famous quote often attributed to Dr Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
"This isn’t something I ever thought I’d be saying but, after 13 years of being together Alex and I have separated.
