Who is Laura Anderson? Former Love Island star set for new series of Celebs Go Dating

She's set to appear on the latest Celebs Go Dating after the end of her relationship with Dane Bowers but this isn't Laura Anderson's first public quest to find love as she appeared on the 2018 series of Love Island.

Laura has been unlucky in love so far, but since leaving the villa her career has sky rocketed, and that's after she decided to call it quits as cabin crew.

She's lived in Glasgow, Stirling, London and Dubai and has finally decided to return to her homeland, but who is Laura Anderson? We take a look at her life after the villa.

Scotland to Dubai

Laura is originally from Stirling but before her stint on Love Island, she lived in Dubai for over ten years and worked as cabin crew for Emirates and also as a part time hairdresser.

The 33-year-old travelled the world with her work but decided to call it a day when she moved back to the UK to appear on the 2018 series of Love Island.

Love Island

Laura, 33, took part in the fourth season of the hit ITV2 show but was unlucky in love despite finishing as runner-up alongside Paul Knops, behind winners Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer. Their relationship only lasted a few months after leaving the Majorca villa and she then went on to date former Love Island star Max Morely but the relationship lasted just three months.

After Love Island, Laura didn't return to her role as an air hostess with Emirates or part-time hairdresser and now works as an influencer and TV personality.

TV career

Laura has appeared in various TV shows since leaving the villa. In 2019, she appeared on The X Factor: Celebrity. Then earlier this year she appeared on Celebrity Karaoke Club alongside her boyfriend at the time, Dane Bowers. And now since she's single, she will be appearing on the new series of Celebs Go Dating.

Relationship with Dane Bowers

In 2018, Laura started dating Dane Bowers but the relationship abruptly ended after he cheated and resulted in her appearance on Love Island. Two years ago, Laura relocated once again to Dubai to rekindle her relationship with Dane. Just a few months ago, the pair announced that they had begun fertility treatment to try and start a family. However, shortly after, Laura took to Instagram to tell her 1.4m followers that the couple had split up.

She said: "Just to let all my beautiful support on here know that unfortunately Dane and I have decided to separate. Thank you for all your continued support. Sadly we're just not right for each other but I do wish him nothing but love. I will be moving back to the UK as soon as I can. Roll on the rest of 2022, let's make it count." but just two months ago, she revealed that they had split. She'd said in a statement on Instagram : "I'll be moving back to the UK as soon as I can. Roll on the rest of 2022, let's make it count."

Asked how she feels after the split, she said: "I'm good. Just being positive. Moving forward with life, you've got to. Happy to be back in the UK and just working. I feel really good."

Celebs Go Dating

It seemed that Laura wasn't too bothered about her split as she was snapped filming scenes for Celebs Go Dating in London after leaving behind her life in Dubai with her former partner.

Laura was spotted getting close to Hollyoaks’ Gary Lucy after her relationship ended, as she signed up for Celebs Go Dating.

In pictures obtained by the MailOnline, Laura can be seen deep in conversation with soap star Gary Lucy as the pair speak on a balcony. According to The Mirror, the pair were filming at Bel Air in Dulwich, South London in what appeared to be a “speed-dating style mixer”. She wore a spotted blouse as she looked effortlessly chic while filming parts of the episode.
