A Place In The Sun presenter Laura Hamilton, 38, has reflected on a “scary” situation last year which saw husband Alex Goward call for an ambulance, after the TV star felt like she couldn’t breathe. Talking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the host explained that after trolls took to review websites to leave vicious comments about her village shop and cafe, Lord Roberts On The Green, she felt like she was “drowning” before being reassured by medical professionals that she was experiencing a panic attack.
You can never expect everyone to like you

A year on from the traumatic event, Laura says she has a new approach to dealing with abusive comments.
She said: “I try not to look at stuff for one.
“I try not to look at things online because it’s very easy isn’t it, to get sucked in.”
The property expert went on to say that abusive comments about her cafe and shop feel different compared to comments about her as a presenter, as it’s more personal.
The presenter said: “When it comes to my work, I sort of don’t [look] because I appreciate that not everyone will like my presentation style on TV and that’s fine.
“You can never expect everyone to like you but I think with the shop it was different, because the shop is in my community.
“It’s a family thing and we were trying to do the best for our community; it wasn’t about my TV career.”
Laura continued to say that because she’s in the public eye, some people think they can make comments about her and her work.
She said: “I don’t know if people think they can say things and it’s okay because you’re on telly – you can take it.
“But actually, no,” Laura hit back.
“It sounds silly but I was actually quite disappointed in myself that I allowed that to even happen, but then it obviously did affect me.”
She continued: “I like to think that ordinarily I’m quite a tough resilient person and I can take that negativity and that criticism, but actually you know it was personal to where I live and my home and my family.”

Last year Laura took to Instagram where she revealed she was struggling to breathe.
In view of her followers, the Channel 4 presenter said: “Hi everyone. I was really unsure about posting this message but I feel the need to. Because something happened on Saturday night and it affected me quite badly.
“As you are aware, Alex and I have been absolutely busting our balls, basically helping the community. Doing what we can to use our suppliers to get goods to the community.
“We’ve worked really hard to bring our prices down and we’ve been doing that on a regular basis,” she explained further. “Anyway, I’ve been losing my voice through stress of this situation.”
She continued: “And on Saturday night there were some really, really nasty people who decided to make some really nasty comments about what we’re doing on our local neighbourly websites.
“It affected me so badly that I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t actually know what was happening to me.”
The TV host admitted that she felt like she was “drowning” which prompted her husband Alex to call 999.
Laura ended the video saying: “Please be kind. As I said I wasn’t going to post this because I didn’t think it was appropriate. But now I think it is appropriate.”
