Laura Anderson makes brutal Father's Day dig at ex Gary Lucy
Laura Anderson has taking a very public swipe at her ex, Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy Laura Anderson has taken a savage swipe at her ex Gary Lucy, who she shares her one-year-old daughter Bonnie with. Yesterday on Sunday (June 15) millions of dads across the UK were celebrated on Father's Day. However, many others find the day to be a difficult one for numerous reasons and the Love Island star sadly appeared to fall into that bracket over the weekend. Taking to her Instagram stories to share an obvious dig at Bonnie's dad, she uploaded a short clip of her giving the camera a sarcastic thumbs up, as she wrote: "Cheers to the single mums who feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day." The former Capital Scotland host welcomed Bonnie in September 2023. Laura and Gary, who met on Celebs Go Dating, had a tumultuous relationship and shocked fans when they announced their split just days after Laura revealed she was pregnant. The former couple have had an off and off relationship since but it appears they are now officially on bad terms with Laura even branding Gary, who has four other children with his ex-wife, as a "deadbeat dad". Gary appeared to reignite his feud with the Love Island star after warning that "dads matter". The 43 year old made the veiled dig while sharing a throwback video of himself and his son Theodore, six. Gary was filmed in a restaurant beside Theodore and they could be seen giggling about "spicy" food together. The actor then gently grabbed his son's cheeks and said: "Look at that face, that gorgeous face.." The clip finished with Gary giving Theodore a kiss. Gary shared the video on Instagram but also seemed to have taken a swipe at Laura in the process. Laura has not held back in the past when it comes to taking aim at Gary over how often he sees their daughter. Reigniting the row, he captioned the footage: "Good enough to eat … Gorgeous Boy #dadsmatter." Picking up on the subtle dig, one follower replied: "Thought you had a girl with Laura..?" Laura has since moved on with her new Scots boyfriend, Clark Robertson, who plays for Dundee Football Club. The Love Island star went public with her new beau, who originally hails from Aberdeen, in October last year and is said to be hopeful he is the one. Clark, 31, has two children of his own, his eight-year-old son Cole and a five-year-old daughter named Mimi, who he shares with his ex fiancé Karla Ray. Laura and Bonnie recently moved into a luxurious new mansion which boasts an enormous garden and gorgeous coastal views. The reality star gave fans a walk through tour of her new pad but she has been careful to keep the exact location of it under wraps. It is also not known whether or not Clark has officially moved in with the mum and daughter but Laura definitely has the space to accommodate him in the future in her huge new home.
