Love Island star announces she's expecting first child with Hollyoaks heartthrob following whirlwind romance after meeting on Celebs Go Dating

Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has announced that she is expecting her first child with Hollyoaks hearthrob Gary Lucy. Laura, who was a runner-up on the ITV2 dating show with Paul Knops in 2018, fell for Gary when they starred together on the matchmaking show Celebs Go Dating last year.

The show sees celebs date members of the public, but Laura, 33, and Gary, 41, had viewers rooting for them as a couple after they formed a close bond. Laura shared the happy news of her pregnancy on Instagram today (Tuesday February 15) and posted a video reel of herself stroking her bump, attending ultrasound scans and celebrating the news with Gary.

Gary played Luke Morgan in the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks from 1999 until the character was killed off last summer. Their baby will be the first baby from Celebs Go Dating, which launched back in 2016.
