Love Island star Laura Anderson issues warning and claps back at trolls over 'abuse' after announcing pregnancy

Former Love Islander Laura Anderson announced her pregnancy last week with a joy-filled montage of videos and photos on Instagram. Laura, who was a runner-up on the ITV2 dating show in 2018, shared pictures of herself beaming as she showed off her bump and as she attended a scan with former Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy, who she met and fell for on the matchmaking show Celebs Go Dating last year.

The montage included a snap of Laura, 33, and Gary at Christmas in matching festive pyjamas as the actor held Laura's bump. In another photo Gary, 41, held up a babygrow bearing the words: "The one where we become parents. Baby Lucy due August 2022."

Today Laura shared a warning message to trolls on her Instagram Stories, reponding to "abuse" after sharing her news. "If anyone writes anything negative on my page re my pregnancy you will be blocked," she wrote.

"Nobody on here except my family and friends knows the reality regarding the past few months of my life because I don't comment on press articles or give details of any other party. I will never play the victim even in my vulnerable state."

She continued: "I'm simply moving on with my life with my head held high. I do not apreciate abuse at a time I am trying my best to protect myself and my unborn child. Please think before typing."

Yesterday (Friday, February 17) the mum-to-be looked stunning in a snap of herself visiting Scotland, captioned "The Motherland." "Boss babe!!!" exclaimed winter Love Island 2020 winner Paige Turley. Mamatothreex said: "You look so beautiful." And misschanel_1982 commented: "Gorgeous."
