Talking about the reboot of his Channel 4 show, he touched upon former presenter Carole Smilie – whose role he took over when the series began again in 2021.
It was rumoured Carole was a little put out by the producers’ choice not to ask her back, but Laurence stated that she had taken it well.
He continued: “It would have been a danger that if she did come back it would have been like Jurassic Park.”
