A TikTok video posted by London Seen showed a crowd of people watching Laura as she strutted to a red glass box with a hammer in hand.
The Irish beauty then swung the hammer at the glass, which prompted it to smash.
The Love Island crew certainly caused a stir with their huge red Jeep which had a giant love heart, flashing lights and megaphone.

The TV star revealed she was having a daughter in her self-help book, No One Can Change Your Life Except for You.

Hotly-anticipated: The television personality will host the summer series
The launch date of Love Island 2021 has been delayed by three weeks due to overseas travel restrictions as ITV confirm they plan to base the show in Majorca.
Love Island’s 2019 summer season started on June 3 but this year the crew will not fly out to the Spanish Island until the end of the month – with ITV intending to air the popular dating show for a duration of eight weeks.
MailOnline can also reveal show bosses, who have Jersey on standby if a new strain of Covid-19 hits, have axed the winter version after just one series.
Postponed: The launch date of Love Island 2021 has been delayed by three weeks due to overseas travel restrictions as ITV confirm they plan to base the show in Majorca
A TV insider told MailOnline: ‘Crew members are scheduled to fly out to Majorca on June 20 – with the series expected to launch a week later.
‘In 2019, the first episode aired on June 3, meaning Love Island will be over three weeks later this year due to current restrictions on overseas travel.
‘The delayed launch date will not have an impact on the length of the series, with the show still running for a duration of eight weeks.
‘Winter Love Island on the other hand has been ‘indefinitely postponed’ as bosses put all their energy until the summer series.’
Majorca will be at its hottest in July and August with temperatures reaching a sizzling 30 degrees, providing Islanders with the perfect setting for a summer of love.
