Laura Anderson is keeping her dog despite him 'biting baby daughter twice'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Laura Anderson has revealed her dog Buddy has bitten her daughter Bonnie twice. Best known for appearing on the fourth season of Love Island in 2018, Laura then went on to sign up for Celebrity Karaoke Club and also appeared on Celebs Go Dating, where she met her ex, Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy in 2022. In February 2023, on the same day as their pregnancy was announced by Laura, Gary, 43, revealed they had separated. Not long before, Laura had said they were 'definitely not' on good terms. Reality star Laura is now in the process of moving house, updating fans on the progress this week. Laura first moved into the property when she was eight months pregnant and has lived there for the past two years. However, in one of her social media posts detailing what's been happening, she admitted her beloved pooch had been biting her daughter, who was born in September 2023. Speaking to the camera while lying in bed, she explained of her new house: 'I'm so excited to have a garden. The garden's so big. Bonnie's going to love it, I'm going to get her a swing set. 'And Buddy's coming home for all those asking.' Laura, who got Pomeranian Buddy in 2018, went on to explain how he hadn't responded well to having a baby around. 'He actually bit Bonnie twice and it was just really difficult in the flat, I couldn't really keep them separated and when she was really young it was just so difficult,' she continued. 'But I think now I've got more space and she's older.' The reality star then shared that her aunty has been looking after Buddy for the past two months and that she now 'can't wait to have him back'. 'They've [Bonnie and Buddy] met up a couple of times and are getting on good. And Buddy's going to love the garden too. So, peace, over and out to flat life and onwards and upwards in a lovely big house.' In March last year Laura left fans shocked when revealing Buddy had 'decided to pee on Bonnie the other day'. She was quickly told by fearful fans the dog was marking their territory and could put Bonnie at risk. 'I'm sorry… what ?????!!!!!! That dog is so full of resentment for the poor baby, it's going to end up snapping at her. Doesn't she see the danger?' one shared. Soon after giving birth to Bonnie, she admitted Buddy, who she used to regularly take to events and red carpets, hadn't been coping well. 'Buddy update: he's been a nightmare. Staying away from her actually but doing the toilet inside for attention. I've enough s*** to clean up,' she wrote. 'I spent a fortune getting a place with a terrace specifically for him. Any tips are welcome. I know he must feel left out but I just don't have the time…' In August last year Laura took aim at Gary, who she claimed hadn't seen their daughter in six months. More Trending After he shared a photo on social media with their daughter, she wrote: 'Instead of posting videos of the one time you saw your daughter this year, can you please reply to my text from 2weeks ago please, that would be great.' Bonnie is Gary's fifth child, with the actor having two daughters and two sons with his ex-wife, Natasha Gray. When asked by a fan about where her relationship with Gary stands, Laura said last year: 'No matter what Gary has done and not done I will always respect him as Bonnie's father and I hope one day he is capable of being the father she deserves.'
