Gary Lucy shares reason he split with Glasgow based Love Island star Laura Anderson

Glasgow-based Love Island star Laura Anderson is expecting her first child with actor Gary Lucy. The reality star shared the special moment on Instagram with pictures of her adorable scan and a baby bump.

However just days after their pregnancy announcement, Gary Lucy has revealed the real reason behind his split with the 33-year-old.

According to the Daily Record, following the first baby scan, Gary revealed that Laura had ended things with him, with their break-up coming after a series of rows after he refused to move to Scotland. The actor said that he wanted to be closer to his other four children who he shares with his ex-wife in England.

The Love Island star met the Hollyoaks actor whilst filming Celebs Go Dating last year and soon became close following the E4 show.

"Laura did want me to move but I have my responsibilities here," he told The Sun.

“I have four kids and all the things that go along with that so it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to uproot at this time."

He continued: “Having gone through a divorce, my children need me and living such a long way from them just would not be possible. I wish I could break myself in half. I would if I could."

Despite their split, both Laura and Gary are committed to co-parenting added there is no drama between the pair and that he still thinks the world of Laura. Gary also said he wouldn't rule out a future reconciliation.

He told the publication: “We can’t get things to work at this time, but who knows what the future holds? I think the world of her. She’s carrying my child and I love her even more than I did before because of who she is and what she is doing.

“It’s incredible. She’s doing a wonderful job. I would have loved things to have worked out. But we’re doing our best to do things right and be responsible, loving co-parents going forward. The baby is our number one priority."
