Love Island star Laura Anderson has given fans a pregnancy update days after reportedly getting back with ex Gary Lucy.
The 34-year-old is expecting her first child with the actor, who is best known for his roles in Hollyoaks, EastEnders and Footballers Wives’. Savouring her last moments of being pregnant, Laura revealed she’d had a final photoshoot of her bump. In one snap, the Scottish TV star is seen proudly cradling her belly stomach in a grey Calvin Klein bra and knicker set, which she captioned: “Captured @fmphotosx last min special pics of baby girl.”
Revealing she is now overdue, Laura shared another photo looking a little worried as she posed in a black long sleeved crop top and matching trousers. She joked: “My face realising I’m overdue thinking... Please don’t have a big head, please don’t have a big head, please don’t have a big head. See you on the stretched side motherf@ckas.”
Her celeb pals and fans were quick to comment underneath offering messages of support as Laura counts down the days to the birth. Fellow Love Islander and new mum herself Shaughna Phillips said: “You’re gonna be amazing darling! Can’t wait to see her.” While Love Island star Kendall Rae Knight added: “Your caption. Good luck gorgeous girl!”

Offering tips on what to expect when the baby finally does come, one fan said: “My baby had a huge head. I had no time for any pain meds, just gas and air and it felt like a rock coming out. He had to have his head measured until 12 weeks because it was measuring bigger than average... he is 4 now and wears age 7-8 in hats so think it’s still bigger than average haha! Good luck mama! Not long now. I was 2 days overdue with my son and he came within 3 hours of my waters going.”
“It’s the shoulders you need to worry about. Good luck!” another fan chimed in as a third recommended: “Water birth is the best way if you have that! I’ve had 3 big babies so I know what I’m talking about lol.” A fourth said: “You’ll be fine, go with the flow and if it gets intense just say to yourself... this time tomorrow it won’t be like this, I’ll be looking at my beautiful baby.” While a fifth added: “Enjoyed every minute of mine! The secret is to control your breathing and honestly you will love it.”
Laura is now thought to be back with ex Gary after being apart for most of her pregnancy. The couple met on the 2022 series of Celebs Go Dating and months later announced they were expecting their first child together.
Shortly afterwards they revealed they had split – and dad-of-four Gary has since said it was down to his refusal to move to Laura’s native Scotland as his other kids live in Essex. But in recent days, the pair have reportedly been spotted at a Scottish hotel together suggesting they have rekindled their romance.
It will be the first child for Laura, who previously dated Another Level singer Dane Bowers, but the fifth for Gary, who already shares four children with ex-wife Natasha Gray, who he tied the knot with in 2014. They are parents to India, 18, Elvis, 12, Sadie, seven, and four-year-old Theodore.
