Love Island's Laura Anderson pregnant with first child with Gary Lucy as she reveals bump

Laura Anderson and Gary Lucy are due to become parents as the Love Island star has announced she's pregnant.

Laura, 33, announced the happy news today as she posted a montage video of her pregnancy journey so far.

The touching clip shows Laura having an ultrasound scan and then showing the pics to her adorable Pomeranian pup.

Laura then poses with her Hollyoaks hunk beau Gary, 41, in front of a Christmas tree while wearing matching pyjamas – however, the pair have recently been rumoured to have split.

Meanwhile, more snaps show Laura showing off her beautiful blossoming bump as she poses in a dressing gown.

The pair are then seen attending another scan together in the montage video.

The clip ends with Laura and her friends gathered together as she goes to pop a giant black balloon to reveal if she's having a boy or girl.

However, fans will have to wait a little longer to find out the sex of their baby as the clip changes from colour to black and white as soon as the balloon bursts.

As Laura shared the happy news on her Instagram page, she wrote in the caption: "Our hearts are full Baby Lucy due Summer ‘23".

The reality star was quickly flooded with messages of congratulations from her fans and celebrity pals.

Faye Winter wrote: "Congratulations beautiful so happy for you".

While Tasha Ghouri added: "AHHH!!! Congratulations angel".

And Maura Higgins penned: "Congratulations" followed by a string of heart eye and red heart emojis.

The tot will be Laura's first but Gary is already a dad to four children from his ex wife Natasha Gray.

He is dad to India, Elvis, Sadie and Theodore. Gary and Natasha ended their 14 year romance while she was pregnant with their fourth child Theodore in 2018.

Laura's pregnancy news comes weeks after it was reported she and Hollyoaks actor Gary split.

Speculation began as Laura revealed she was going through a "difficult time" as she opened up to fans on Instagram.

The pair had been dating for several months after falling head over heels for one another after taking part in Celebs Go Dating.

However, Laura, who shot to fame on the 2018 series of Love Island, then wiped all trace of the Hollyoaks actor from her social media, and even appeared to have unfollowed him on Instagram.

Alongside a snap of herself posing alongside her beloved dog, she wrote on 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 over sharing 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 later said: "I deserve it all. The career. The love. The family. The peace. The life'"
