Laura said that walking into the tent for the first time was a “surreal” experience for her.
"My stomach was in knots and I was so nervous but excited at the same time.
"I’ve watched the show for so many years so it was a dream come true to finally be in ‘the’ tent. I kept pinching myself."
Laura said there were many things she was excited about before making her first appearance – but she singled out meeting new host Matt Lucas as a particular highlight.
The baker continued: "I saw him in Les Mis last year and he was incredible. I was very star struck when I first saw him and made a bit of a fool out of myself.
"I think my first words to him were, ‘Omg I love you'."
What are Laura’s strengths and weaknesses?

Laura said: "I bake from the heart and love making things that pack a punch in terms of flavour. However, finesse and refinement are not always my strong point."
What's Laura's baking style like?

Born and brought up in Gravesend, Laura has been baking since the age of eight – but only realised her flair for it a few years ago.
She loves citrus and strong flavours, and enjoys putting a modern twist on old classics.
While she thrives working under pressure and thinks her organised nature is what particularly suited her to taking part in Bake Off.
The perfectionist in her wants things to look faultlessly pretty and gorgeously dainty; she specialises in decoration and is proud to have mastered the art of piped buttercream flowers.
What is GBBO star Laura's job?

Laura's job as a Digital Manager is very different from her home passion of cooking.
