A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton spotted at Rangers Athletic Bilbao game (2025)

The TV host was spotted in the crowd watching on as Rangers crashed out of the Europa League quarter final.

A Place in the Sun star Laura Hamilton was snapped in the crowd at the Rangers and Athletic Bilbao Europa league match last night which saw the Basque side win 2-0.

The TV presenter was spotted watching the game which took place in Bilbao, as an image circulated online of her sitting in the stands.

One X user shared a photo of Laura sitting amongst Rangers fans and penned: "A Place in the Sun loyal."

Unfortunately Rangers' Europa League dreams were dashed when in the final minute of injury time when Maroan Sannadi got his foot between John Souttar and the ball as the Rangers’ defender looked to clear, with the resulting contact in the box leading to a spot-kick award.

Bilbao secured their second goal on the eightieth minute, sending the Glasgow side crashing out the competition.

Whilst Laura was born in Kent, she has Scottish roots as her grandfather hails from Fort William.

Laura has said she has many happy memories of family time spent in Fort William while she was growing up - but also it was there that she kicked off her career in TV.

Speaking previously to The Daily Record, Laura said: "When I was a kid, my parents and I went up on sleeper train to Fort William to a skiing range. The sleeper train up to Fort William was absolutely beautiful and that was my first skiing experience.

“As kids, we grew up camping and caravanning. I saw a lot of Scotland. It’s beautiful up there. And when I was starting out in my career I worked for a company called Lion TV that is based in Glasgow.

“I filmed a couple of shows for them including one called Beat My Build. I used to work on music concerts and events and also worked on an event in Bothwell Castle.

“I’d love to buy a Scottish castle and renovate it. That’s on my wish list.”

Laura has been in Spain prior to the game for work to update her fans on property tax in Spain.

In a video on her Instagram, the star filmed herself walking around giving her opinion of the proposed increase.

She penned: "I am constantly being asked this question…

“What do you think about the proposed increase in property tax in Spain?” So here are my honest thoughts…

"Let’s start with the facts. This was part of a 12-point proposal aimed at tackling Spain’s housing crisis, but it’s far from being law.

"Here’s why I’m not losing sleep over it: 1. It’s just a proposal. Pedro Sánchez leads a minority government, so pushing through new taxes on non-EU buyers? Unlikely.

"2. Taxes are regional. There are 17 autonomous regions in Spain, each with the power to set their own purchase transfer tax. Getting them all to agree? Also unlikely.

"3. Non-EU buyers only make up 3% of property transactions in Spain. So targeting them won’t fix the housing crisis.

She concluded: "And let’s not forget: Spain thrives on tourism. The majority of locals want visitors and foreign investment. Tourism is vital, and welcomed."
