Laura Anderson makes statement regarding Gary Lucy split claims saying she was prepared to move to Essex

Love Island star Laura Anderson has made a statement regarding her split with Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy.

The former Footballer's Wives actor spoke out saying that part of the reason the pair split was because Laura wanted him to move to Scotland, but he said he wanted to stay in Essex to be with his four children.

But now Laura has rubbished those claims saying that she was prepared to move to Essex to 'start their family', however it was other reasons which led to the pair splitting.

Laura, from Stirling, took to Instagram to share the update with her 1.5million followers.

"I had no intention to comment on the breakdown of my relationship with Gary. However, due to what has now been publicly shared by other parties, I have been left with no other choice.

"Gary and I are no longer together due to multiple reasons which will remain private. Our plan was for me to move to Essex to start our family which I was more than happy to do. However, since the breakdown of our relationship I have remained at home in Scotland. My priority is bringing my baby up in a calm and stable environment.

She added: "I never asked or expected Gary to move to Scotland. I fully support him living in Essex to be close to his four amazing children.

"I am fully focused on having a healthy, happy pregnancy and remain excited to share this incredible journey with you all. Thank you so much for you support! Laura, Buddy & Bump."

This week, the pair appeared to take aim at each other in cryptic Instagram posts and Laura edited her original baby announcement post, which previously read: "Our hearts are full Baby Lucy due Summer ‘23."

And it now reads: "My heart is full Baby Anderson due Summer ‘23."

Prior to that, Gary recently had his say on the split, saying that he does still love the reality star and is gutted about their split. He explained: "Laura did want me to move but I have my responsibilities here. I have four kids and all the things that go along with that so it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to uproot at this time."

The pair appear to have unfollowed each other on Instagram.
