TV host Laura Hamilton broke up with her husband after their marriage hit the rocks, according to a source.

Birmingham Live reports on claims the Channel 4 star decided to call to pull the plug on her marriage after she was stuck at home with her other half during lockdown.

The website reports how a source told The Sun: “Laura is often away abroad travelling with her work on A Place In The Sun, so the couple weren’t used to spending so much time together under one roof."

Laura confirmed the split this weekend, issuing a statement over the marriage break down and saying the pair's kids remain their priority.

The source added: “She really wanted to make the marriage work for the sake of the family. She threw her all into saving the relationship, but in lockdown they reached crisis point."

Laura - who is a Place in the Sun presenter, and has been for years - married husband Alex 13 years ago.

And the source continued: “The pressure of being stuck at home and working under one roof put too much strain on the relationship. It seemed easier in the end just to go their separate ways.

“Lockdown was tough on them as a couple.”

A Place in the Sun continues to air each and every weekday on Channel 4 and the All 4 Hub.
