<h3>March 5th 2006 - The Sunday Mail</h3>

<center><h2>Dear Diary, little sister is revealing my sexy secrets to millions of listeners live on Radio 1... v. bad day!</h2></center>

<P>She is is the former student whose diaries are set to be come the biggest thing since Bridget Jones. And today the Sunday Mail can reveal that the mystery blonde whose hilarious tales of life at a Scots university have wowed millions of radio listeners is Laura Sayers.

Laura allowed her boss, drivetime DJ Scott Mills, to read the diaries on air after they were found in the back of a wardrobe. Now listeners are racing home from work to get their daily fix of Laura's Diary at 5.15pm.

And the 27-year-old, who studied theatre and English language at Glasgow University, is a huge hit. The diaries, which reveal everything about her life and loves in the city, are read out on air by her little sister Mary, 18. The first two diaries were about her childhood but the current series features her university years in Glasgow.

Last night Laura said: "I can't believe how popular my diaries have become.

"I had forgotten all about them until my sister found them in a shoebox at the back of the wardrobe. Scott thought it would be fun to use them. I thought it was a one-off but we're into the third series. Scott is also amazed at their popularity."

Scott said: "There is something about it that interests men and women. "Girls see themselves in Laura and guys love getting an insight into a girl's Diary."

Laura, who stayed on in Glasgow for two years after university to manage Roots and Fruits on Great Western Road, says her Scottish years were the best of her life. She said: "I came up to Scotland for the first time when I was 15 with my parents. "I made up my mind then and there that I would be go to university there. "

"I had great fun as a student and my diaries are full of the things I got up to. I used to frequent The Shed and the Garage for cheesy pop sessions. DJ Toast at the Queen Margaret Union was the business and lazy summer days in Kelvingrove Park were the best."

Laura's diaries reveal that she has always been unlucky in love but Radio One are planning to change all that. The show is to travel all over Britain looking for men who fancy a date with her in an event called One Night With Laura. The tour will stop off in Scotland on March 27 and Laura is hoping she will find a nice Scots guy.

She said: "I hope the tour will change my luck. I can't want to find out."

Dear Diary,

October 17: What a night. Pals pretended to be Australian to chat up rugby players then I had to take off my tights because I got a massive ladder in them. When I got back from the toilet, Mr X said he wanted to climb the ladder. I just pretended I hadn't heard. PS. Think I'm getting a bald spot. Oh no.

November 18: I've met a nice girl called Sarah. We ate lots of chocolates then checked each other's backs for spots. She lent me her Counting Crows CD. I started painting a picture for Ben. It's two blue nudes. Maybe I'll give it to Mr X instead. PS. Picked up prescription for bald patch and it has steroids in it.

December 12: Booked a room in Skegness. I hope Ben likes it. I'm going to surprise him on his last day of college. I'm going to wear the shiny trousers he likes. I will have a bath and shave. I doubt I'll be needing any clothes. PS: Wonder what he will think of Bob my bald patch?</P>
