Her recent DJ set kicked off half an hour later than planned, but Laura Whitmore was significantly less tardy when it came to finding her way home.

Indeed, the Irish model and TV presenter was spotted haring up the steps to her London pad on Wednesday evening after a brief cameo behind the decks at swish nightspot Mahiki.

Accompanied by a male friend, Laura turned heads in a black and white striped Oasis coat and chunky peep-toe boots as she made a beeline for a cab upon leaving the club at 1:40am.

Clutching her iPhone, the TV personality appeared to be in a hurry as she dashed home, a large leather Oasis bag slung over one arm – and little wonder.

Tweeting on Thursday morning she announced to her 215,000 followers: ‘Up early for a cover shoot today!!:)’

The I’m a Celebrity…Get me Out Of Here! NOW! co-host had previously spent an hour and a half entertaining revellers at the Dover Street venue with a special DJ appearance – but there was mild disappointment when she turned up half an hour later than planned.

Poor time-keeping aside, the 28-year-old was keen to keep Instagram and Twitter followers updated on her set-list by posting an image of one of the programmed tracks – Just a Girl by No Doubt - along with the caption: ‘Yea I went there… #cd11.’

The star is something of a familiar face at Mahiki, from where she recently posted another shot of her hanging out with former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.

Laura and Ashley developed a close friendship while Ashley was a contestant in last year’s series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and they looked thrilled to be in each other’s company last month when they partied into the small hours at the popular club.

She's also developed a friendship with One Direction star Niall Horan, but Laura was quick to stress their relationship is strictly platonic.

‘There’s a lot of us who live in North London from Ireland, and when we got out suddenly people put us together! Even though I’m 27 and he’s 19,’ she told the Daily Star.
