Laura, who currently presents on CBBC and has also appeared on Blue Peter and the 2022 Summer BBC Philharmonic Concerts for Schools, formally opened three new pay and play floodlit courts at South Shore Tennis Club, Midgeland Road.
A keen amateur player herself, she joined club members to test out the new playing surface.
