Laura previously spoke up on her opinion of editing snaps when she appeared on BBC Breakfast last month to discuss the proposed air-brushing ban on Instagram.
Tory MP Dr Luke Evans has drawn up a Bill which would mean celebrities would have to label images which have been digitally altered to change how they look.
Laura discussed the proposed ban, which claims edited photos on social media are ‘fuelling a mental health crisis’ and creating a ‘warped view’ of beauty.

During the interview, the reality star admitted that despite the fact she edits her own Instagram photos, she would be in favour for the Bill.
She said: ‘At first, I wasn’t 100% sure but now, honestly, I am all for it. I think it’s great that we have choices, we all have our reasons for why we edit.
‘Sometimes I edit just to save me some time. I ask friends why they edit, if they’re not doing professional brand posts or things, they say it’s a confidence thing.

‘I think we have to respect everyone’s confidence journey, as long as we’re honest about it.
‘I know if I could see “edited”, it would maybe stop me from editing as much. I think that’s something positive in the future. I do think we over edit right now.’
Prior to her interview, Laura shared yet another defiant makeup-free snap after sparking controversy with her ‘changing face’ earlier this week.
In the picture, the reality star looked radiant as she showed her bare skin and styled her honey coloured locks into a high ponytail.
Laura pouted to the camera and penned: ‘Always go to bed with a dream and wake up with a purpose.’
