She commented: "After a day of nagging Adam and moaning about just about everything, I feel fantastic by the time I get home," she laughs.

She continues: "I don't know if she'll forgive him but I doubt she'll throw Ian out. Laura has shifted from being this naive and soft person into a much harder and more manipulative character.

Her love for him is far less than her desire to have a baby and that's going to be a problem for Ian."
