Laura Anderson has announced she’s expecting her first child with Gary Lucy.
The couple confirmed their romance last November, after meeting while filming Celebs Go Dating.
The 33-year-old signed up for the hit dating show after splitting from her ex Dane Bowers in August.
Laura announced her pregnancy via Instagram on Wednesday.
Sharing a sweet video montage of her growing baby bump, the Love Island 2018 star penned: “Our hearts are full 🫶🏼 Baby Lucy due Summer ‘23 🤰🏼.”
A host of well known faces took to the comment section to congratulate Laura and Gary on their happy news.
Faye Winter penned: “Congratulations beautiful 🤍 so happy for you,” while Maura Higgins said: “Congratulations 😍😍❤️❤️❤️.”

Love Island 2020’s Shaughna Phillips, who is also expecting her first child, commented: “So happy for you darling, the best news ever 🤍🤍🤍🤍.”
Meanwhile, Love Island 2022’s Tasha Ghouri said: “AHHH!!! Congratulations angel 😍❤️.”
The news of Laura’s pregnancy comes after she and Gary sparked split rumours last month.
The reality star, who shot to fame on Love Island in 2018, deleted all trace of the actor from her Instagram feed – and even unfollowed him on the platform.
Laura confirmed her romance with Gary last November, after meeting on Celebs Go Dating.
At the time, the Scottish beauty told The UK Sun: “I get on really well with Gary, it’s blossoming. It’s the happiest I’ve been in a long time. We started off as friends but let see what happens.”
“There were loads of dates on the show and sometimes when your dates don’t go that well you just see who else is around.”
“Things are going really well for us, I wouldn’t change anything. We are going with the flow and seeing where things go.”

Speaking about breaking the Celebs Go Dating rule, which cites that two celebrities are not allowed to date each other, Laura joked: “Well, I didn’t ask anyone out, so I haven’t done anything.”
Laura announced her split from Dane back in August.
She told her 1.4 million followers at the time: “Just to let all of my beautiful supporters on here know that unfortunately Dane and I have decided to separate.”
“Thank you all for your continued support. Sadly we’re just not right for each other but I do wish him nothing but love.”
The 33-year-old moved to Dubai to live with Dane in 2020, but moved back to the UK after their split.
She told her fans at the time: “I will be moving back to the UK as soon as I can. Roll on the rest of 2022, let’s make it count.”
Meanwhile, 40-year-old Hollyoaks star Gary split from his wife Natasha Gray back in 2018, shortly before their fourth wedding anniversary.
The former couple got married in November 2014, after 11 years of dating; and share four children – India, Elvis, Sadie and Theodore.
