Celebs Go Dating's Lauren Anderson says she was trying for baby with ex Dane Bowers

Laura Anderson breaks down in tears on tonight's Celebs Go Dating as she opens up about her ex Dane Bowers.

The Love Island alum, 33, is on the show looking for romance on the reality show after calling it a day with the Another Level star in August.

In a clip from the E4 series, which starts tonight, Laura grabs a tissue as she speaks about the severity of her split from the singer.

"I think my most recent break-up was the biggest in my life because it was so serious," she says, holding back the tears.

"I thought that he was 'the one'. We were trying for a baby."

The Scottish star tells dating gurus Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson she's not sure why she's been unlucky in love.

"I'm quite fresh out of a relationship, if I'm honest, which I thought was my life partner," Laura says candidly.

"We were planning a lot together and it didn't work out.

"I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong."

Laura and Dane were on and off for five years before they split for good in August.

The couple had been living together in Dubai after making things official again in 2021, three years after Laura accused the 43-year-old of being unfaithful.

At the time, she said she learnt to trust Dane again as the couple explored the possibility of parenthood.

But it wasn't to be and now Laura is dating her Celebs Go Dating co-star Gary Lucy, 40.

The couple fuelled romance rumours back in September after they were spotted getting cosy while out on a romantic date.

Fans were convinced the pair were more than just friends with the couple confirming their romance last month.

The smitten pair are so loved up they are said to have already met each other's families.

Despite appearing on the E4 programme looking for love with various dates, Laura describes her time with the EastEnders star as "the happiest I've been in a long time".

Gary split from wife Natasha Gray in 2018 after four years of marriage.

Speaking about his new relationship with Laura, a source told The Sun : "Laura and Gary are absolutely smitten. It is amazing to see their connection. And It’s clear for all to see they’re a brilliant match.

"They both feel this is the real deal and are already talking about the next steps."
