Watch, listen to and download clips from the One Night With Laura archive from The Scott Mills Show on BBC Radio 1.
In March 2006, after Laura’s Diary ended with her being dumped by letter, Scott made a national appeal to find her a boyfriend. The One Night With Laura tour held auditions in Southampton, Cardiff, Nottingham, Newcastle and Glasgow, and listeners voted on four finalists: Ben, James, Gareth and Shep. Gareth from Chard won on 7 April 2006, and he and Laura spent a weekend in Paris.
The archive covers 2006 to 2007, including the videos Will Kinder made for Radio 1 Online.
