Love Island star Laura Anderson left fans in shock last week when she took to social media to reveal she's pregnant, with Gary Lucy's baby, despite rumours back in January that they'd split, with Gary later confirming the news.

Now, despite the former couple appearing to get on when they reactivated some previously deleted loved-up posts, the TV star has edited her baby announcement to remove any mention of her former boyfriend.

Previously the caption to the baby announcement read: ‘My heart is full 🫶🏼 Baby Lucy due Summer ‘23’, using Gary's surname, she has now edited it to include her surname, so that it reads: ‘My heart is full 🫶🏼 Baby Anderson due Summer ‘23’.

This comes just a week after the Hollyoaks actor broke his online silence after the split rumours, leaving a lovely comment on Laura's post.

Gary wrote: 'There she is ❤️ so very proud of you Mummy Bear 🐻 cooking Baby Bear 🐻 perfectly ❤️'. (sic)

Laura and Gary met last year while filming a series of Celebs Go Dating, however, rumours started to circulate that they'd split in January, when they both deleted all trace of each other from social media. The pair later reactivated some of their old snaps, but did not confirm they are back together.

The baby, who is due in the Summer, will be Gary's fifth child in total, with the former Footballers' Wives actor already being a proud dad to India, Elvis, Sadie and Theodore, whom he shares with his ex-wife Natasha Gray.
