First Dates star returns to normal job after welcoming adorable baby son
FIRST Dates star Laura Tott today returned to her normal job after welcoming her adorable baby son.
Surrey-born Laura, 30, shared how she was returning to her day job, which is VERY different to the one she had on Channel 4.
Laura – who left First Dates in 2021 when the show moved to a restaurant in the North – became a paramedic during the pandemic.
After leaving the hit Channel 4 show, she has been committed to the ambulance service ever since.
However, she has been on maternity leave since last summer after giving birth to her son Leo.
But now it’s time to head back to work and Laura revealed to fans it was going to be an early star.
Posting on Instagram Stories, she shared a picture of her alarm clock set for 4.20am, and had been labelled “Get up b***h”.
Writing underneath, Laura said: “That’s it… Back to work tomorrow after the most amazing year off watching Lee grow.
“Feel so lucky I got to have this time with you.”
She then added: “Think that alarm’s gonna hurt!”
Laura announced that she had welcomed her baby with her husband, who’s identity she has kept secret, last August.
The Channel 4 star shared an adorable black and white video of her newborn yawning and played Eva Cassidy’s Songbird over the top of it.
She captioned the sweet clip: “He’s here.. Leo Clarke 28/08/23.”
It comes after Laura married her partner in a lavish ceremony in Devon.
She Laura revealed she was engaged to her long-term boyfriend in June 2022.
The couple live in a beautiful home with classy flooring and fresh white walls.
The blonde beauty was also briefly a member of the Royal Navy with HMS Raleigh in Cornwall, and travelled the world extensively before signing up for First Dates and also becoming a paramedic.
