'Think how many mums out there are struggling with that work-life balance, it's not just me. It's so relatable and that's the best thing about 'Love Island', having a social media following, I've really understood it more since having a baby. It's so nice to resonate and it really is a positive place.' 'It's just full of mums, it's not all about 'you're trying to look sexy all the time' because that's not important.'

Speaking to Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton on Made By Mammas: The Podcast, she said: 'Technically me and Gary did plan to have Bonnie and we were really happy and excited and it was around Christmas time. I knew straight away and took a test. 'I was so excited to become a mum, I feel like I'm going to cry if I talk about this but the personal stuff with her dad, I always envisioned having my partner there and like it being all about you being pregnant but I didn't have that. Laura continued: 'We broke up for a reason. He made it public without telling me he was going to tell everyone that we weren't together the same day we were going to announce that I was pregnant. 'Even though we weren't technically together I was hoping we would work it out but as soon as he put it out into the public it felt like an attack and like we're not going to work this out, it's now public and he did that the day we were going to announce I was pregnant. 'So what should have been a magical time and behind the scenes might have been a little bit difficult it then turned into a media circus of negativity. 'I was trolled because of the way we broke up I never really said anything negative because I was vulnerable and wanted our relationship to work and was scared to say anything.'
