Laura Anderson says hello to her 'little alien' as she shares first image of unborn child

Love Island star Laura Anderson has shared a sonogram of her unborn child after returning from a plush stay in the Maldives.

The TV personality, 33, is expecting her first child with Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy after the former couple had a whirlwind romance after meeting on Celebs Go Dating last year.

Laura has been keeping her fans up to date with her pregnancy, and shared a video of her sonogram after returning from the Maldives.

In the caption, the star wrote: "Hello my little alien [laughing face emoji and lips emoji]."

The Love Island 2018 finalist soaked up the rays during a relaxing trip to the Maldives, as she showed off her baby bump while posing in bikinis.

Laura, who appeared in the fourth season of the popular ITV reality dating show in 2018, announced the happy news when she posted a montage video of her pregnancy journey on February 15.

Despite Laura and the Hollyoaks actor's split, he featured in the video as she shared touching clip shows Laura having an ultrasound scan and then showing the pics to her adorable Pomeranian pup.

She revealed during her red carpet appearance at the Gossies 2023 at the weekend that the parents-to-be both know the gender of their unborn child, but are not ready to share publicly with their doting fans just yet.

Laura, who admitted she has already picked out a name already, however, did confirm that the news will be revealed "in due course" as she prepares for motherhood this summer.

Speaking to Goss.ie on the red carpet at the event in Dublin, Laura said: " I know what I'm having and I have a name.

"I will share in due course… I've already done a small [gender reveal party], but I've not shared it publicly yet. But I will soon."

Laura has been very open with her followers on her Instagram – and has appeared to be taking aim at Gary with cryptic posts on the platform.

Last month, she re-shared a video on her Instagram story of Rebecca Zung, who calls herself a 'Narcissist Negotiation Expert', discussing the 'five hidden habits of a covert narcissist'.

As Laura re-posted the clip, she wrote to her fans: "I'm really healing through educating myself on this personality disorder and reading all your dms of your experiences.

"If someone lies about you, tell the truth about them or better yet choose peace and run."
