Love Island's Laura Anderson announces split from Gary Lucy hours after pregnancy news

Despite announcing they were pregnant just a day ago it appears that Love Island star Laura Anderson has split from her partner, ex-EastEnders and Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy. The pair are expecting their first baby together however it has now been reported the couple has separated.

Laura posted a series of cryptic posts and deleted photos of Gary from her Instagram. She shared a post in January about going through a 'difficult time' just months after the pair made things official. Alongside a snap of herself posing alongside her beloved dog, Laura wrote in her stories: "I know I've been quiet on here and not myself this week or so I'm going through a very difficult time, I actually don't think I've ever felt so stressed in my life."

"As we know Instagram isn't real life but oversharing negativity has never been something I like doing. Anyway, my thought of the day for us all is - never lose yourself or your voice."

Laura also reshared another post about 'the quality of attention' rather than the speed of a person's replies. Gary has since confirmed their split to The Sun, just hours after the pair's pregnancy was announced on Laura's Instagram.

He said: "I love Laura but we are no longer together. My main drive as always is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby."

A source told The Sun that Gary, who has four children with ex-wife Natasha Gray is "devastated" by the split: "Gary's been left devastated - he's absolutely heartbroken. They spent Christmas together and he traveled to Glasgow last weekend in a desperate attempt to try to win her back. They enjoyed a meal out and attended their first scan together - but Laura was adamant it's over."

Laura, aged 33, and Gary, aged 41, became an item following their stint on Celebs Go Dating last year, with the Love Islander taking part in the E4 dating show after her split from Dane Bowers, who she dated on and off for around five years.
