Love Island’s Laura Anderson reveals she has chosen baby name after finding out gender

Laura Anderson has revealed she has already chosen a name for her unborn baby after finding out the gender.

The former Love Island star, 33, confirmed last month that she is pregnant with her first child with ex Gary Lucy.

Despite having already had a “small” gender reveal party, she says she doesn’t feel ready to share the news with the rest of the world yet.

Speaking to Goss.ie, Anderson said: “I know what I’m having and I have a name.

“I will share in due course… I’ve already done a small [gender reveal party], but I’ve not shared it publicly yet. But I will soon.”

Anderson met former Hollyoaks actor Lucy, 41, while filming E4 series Celebs Go Dating last year.

However, the day after the couple shared the news that they were expecting, Anderson announced that they had decided to call time on their five-month romance.

Since then, Lucy gave a tell-all interview claiming the reason behind their split was because he refused to move to Anderson’s native Scotland.

Lucy — who has four children from his former marriage to Natasha Gray — said he didn’t want to move so far away from his children who live in Essex.

“Laura did want me to move but I have my responsibilities here,” he told The Sun. “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.”

He continued: “Having gone through a divorce, my children need me and living such a long way from them just would not be possible. I wish I could break myself in half. I would if I could.”
