Love Island's Laura Anderson reveals she loves being a WAG as she gushes over her 'very sexy' footballer boyfriend Clark Robertson
The former Love Islander star, 36, admitted she used to 'hate' watching the sport before finding love with Dundee defender Clark Robertson, 31.
Laura, who found fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2018, previously dated Another Level's Dane Bowers, 45, and Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy - with whom she shares daughter Bonnie with - before meeting Clark.
The TV personality revealed she is now learning the rules of football so she can enjoy watching him, fully embracing her duties as a WAG.
She told The Sun: 'I guess I'm a WAG now, I actually really like football, I didn't really like it before.
'To be honest, it just reminded me of my dad hogging the remote when we were young and I never got to watch what I wanted to watch.
'But now I like going to the games - I think he looks very sexy actually because he's quite bossy on the pitch and he's not like that day-to-day, he's such a relaxed, chilled out guy, so on the pitch he's always pointing and I'm like ''what the hell what's going on?''
Single mother Laura, who split from Gary during her pregnancy, also opened up about her daughter Bonnie's first day at nursery as she admitted she 'cried her eyes out' after dropping her off.
Laura, who quit her radio presenting gig on Capital Scotland's Breakfast Show in February after less than a year, added that she has 'no regrets' choosing her daughter over work opportunities as she suffered burnout juggling the early mornings.
Laura recently hit back at trolls after suffering backlash for holidaying in the Maldives without her 21-month-old daughter.
The reality star jetted off with her boyfriend Clark and shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from her romantic getaway.
While many gushed over the stunning snaps, one follower accused the reality star of abandoning her toddler.
They wrote: 'Poor Bonnie ditched again… I just wouldn't choose to leave my child over and over again thousands of miles away. A wee night away though absolutely!'
But Laura wasted no time to hit back and replied: 'Over and over please explain,' with many of her fans rushing to defend her.
They branded the critic a 'mum-shamer' as they praised Laura for taking some well deserved time for herself.
Firing back once more, Laura commented: 'No one shames the dads.'
However, the original commenter doubled down, saying: 'I will if it's a dad doing it.
'Shame on Bonnie's dad, shame on my dad, shame on any dad that treats their kids the way some do. Shame on any sex.
'And I didn't say shame on you. Just said you'd ditched the wee babe again.
'I ain't ringing the bells like a town crier, just saying bairns been left to someone else to look after while you jet off again!'
Laura later clarified to fans that she had only been away for just four days and had many video calls with her daughter.
The reality star went Instagram official with boyfriend Clark in October last year, sharing an array of loved-up snaps together.

Laura previously detailed the challenges she's faced raising Bonnie as a single parent after she and Gary split before she was born.
The pair met during Celebs Go Dating in 2022, however, they split shortly before she announced her pregnancy in February 2023.
She told The Mirror: 'I think it was hard to get my head around initially, it wasn't what I expected. But that's the cards I was dealt in the end. Of course, I'm going to make it work for my child, even more so. I feel like I'm a really good mum, to be honest.'
Offering advice to other parents facing the same challenges, she added: 'Prioritise what you need to do, it's just me. I have to make it work. I am tired but of course, I'm going to be tired. I'm bringing up a human soul, that's what I signed up for.
'[Bonnie's] great, your social life does take a little bit of a backseat but most people, your good friends understand that.'

London Waterloo disruption live: ‘Do not travel' warning issued by SWR after major signalling failure
Railway passengers have been warned 'not to travel' on Monday morning after a major signalling failure at London's Waterloo station has caused commuter chaos. Disruption is expected to continue for the rest of the day due to 14 platforms at the busy station being out of service due to the failure. According to National Rail, the incident was first reported shortly after 5.30am. Taking to social media, angry customers have complained of the situation being a 'total shambles' while another said they were 'totally disgusted and distraught'. Due to the level of disruption, any unused tickets will be valid for Tuesday. In a statement on X, the railway operator said: 'Engineers are on sit attempting to restore the use of the platforms, but with very few trains able to move in and out of London Waterloo and crew already displaced, services across the network are severely disrupted.' It follows several days of disruption at Waterloo with platforms 1 to 14 also out of use for several hours on Saturday due to a signalling failure. South Western Railway's full statement: 'Due to a major signalling failure at London Waterloo, please do not travel on our services this morning. 'The failure of the equipment that routes trains in and out of the station means we cannot use platforms 1 to 14 at London Waterloo at this time, significantly limiting capacity. 'Engineers are on site attempting to restore the use of the platforms, but with very few trains able to move in and out of London Waterloo and trains and crew already displaced, services across the network are severely disrupted. 'While we are hoping to restore some services later in the day, these are still likely to be subject to delays and alterations. 'Customers should please check back for updates. We are very sorry for the disruption to journeys this morning.'
