Love Island\u2019s Laura Anderson and Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy have welcomed their first child.<\/p>\n
The reality TV star, 34, confirmed she and Gary are now parents to a little girl who they\u2019ve called Bonnie but added that she was \u2018hurt\u2019 and that Gary was given a fright.<\/p>\n
She shared the news on Instagram on Thursday, writing: \u2018Hi everyone, my name is Bonnie Rose Lucy Anderson. I was born 02\/09\/23 at 06.03am and weighed 6.10lbs.\u2019<\/p>\n
Laura added: \u2018My Mummy & Daddy are sooooo happy and in love with me, this is our first week together.\u2019<\/p>\n
She then said: \u2018I\u2019m sorry it\u2019s taken me some time to introduce myself, I hurt my mummy a little bit and scared my daddy too (oops) we\u2019re all now recovering well at home.<\/p>\n
\u2018Please don\u2019t question My Mummy & Daddy on their relationship- This.. is all about me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Laura and Gary, 41, announced they were expecting their child back in February, with the Celebrity Karaoke Club finalist sharing an adorable clip to Instagram sharing her pregnancy journey with the world, showing off her blossoming bump and early scans.<\/p>\n
The pair captioned the post: \u2018Our hearts are full, Baby Lucy due Summer \u201823.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, shortly after the announcement, Gary, who already shares four children with his ex-wife Natasha Gray, announced the couple were no longer together with Laura removing him from their baby post.<\/p>\n
Laura went on to admit that the pair were \u2018not on good terms\u2019 following the split, with a source also claiming she was \u2018so upset\u2019 with Gary for announcing they were expecting a baby girl \u2018without her consent.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While sharing plenty of exciting updates on her pregnancy, Laura also kept it real about the anxieties that come with becoming a parent.<\/p>\n
Although the soap star will be \u2018involved\u2019 in bringing up their baby, Laura has also admitted\u00a0welcoming a child into the world alone\u00a0was not something she\u2019d ever anticipated.<\/p>\n
In a heartbreaking column for\u00a0OK!\u00a0the star confessed she\u2019s \u2018grieving\u2019 for the life she thought she would be living.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve been putting a lot of things, such as a baby shower, off,\u2019 she explained, \u2018because I feel like I\u2019m sort of grieving the life I thought I\u2019d have, being pregnant.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s a grievance what I thought my life was going to be like, at this point, and how I thought my first pregnancy was going to be \u2013 settled down with my partner and raising a baby together.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, Lucy and Gary fuelled reconciliation rumours in August as just days before they were due to welcome their daughter, the pair had reportedly been seen\u00a0spending time together\u00a0in Scotland.<\/p>\n
