Laura Anderson hits out at cruel trolls who are 'damaging' her mental and physical health

Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has slammed online trolls who have set out to attack her on social media, as she thanks the "normal" loyal fleet of fans for keeping her sane.

The Scots blonde beauty, 33, shared a snippet of some of the vile messages she has been receiving from members of the public who are taking aim at her - even telling her to "drown" herself.

Another low blow from a troll slammed her for chatting openly with her fans about her pregnancy and recent split from ex-partner Gary Lucy as they told her to "get over it."

The cruel messages have evidently been piling up for the influencer, who announced she had been forced to block multiple accounts due to the rising number of horrible messages she was being sent.

She told her 1.5 million followers: "I don't like to share the negativity I receive on here but it has been more than usual recently.

"I have blocked so many people for disgusting and damaging comments. It blows my mind that people conjure up such strong assumptions of what they think goes on behind closed doors or bull crap media stories.

"Never in my life did I think I could receive negative accusations on my character from strangers while going through a break up and pregnant. My tolerance for trolling at the minute is SO low.

"It's honestly so damaging to mental and physical health I thought this was obvious.

"Thankfully the positive outweighs the negative but sometimes it's hard to see when you're in the firing line. I really appreciate the amazing messages and I support you right back.

"Rant over, cheers to the normal people you keep me sane online," she wrote as she shared a kiss with her fans.

It comes as only last week Laura was left upset after her ex-partner Gary Lucy allegedly revealed the gender of their baby "without her consent," as the pair never announced publicly the gender of their little one until Thursday when Gary posted it on Instagram.

The couple split just weeks after they revealed that they are expecting a child together and things seem to have been rocky between them ever since.

A source close to Laura told the Daily Record that she was very upset that he publicly announced the news. They said: "Gary announced the gender news without getting her consent. She’s really upset by this”.

The former Love Island star still hasn't addressed Gary's post, however she shared a cryptic Instagram story which showed a cute little girl saying: "I can't do negative today, positive vibes, positive vibes" and beside it Laura wrote: "Today is going to be a good day right gang! Love you all more than you know."
