Laura Anderson has taken yet another savage swipe at ex Gary Lucy as she spent Father’s Day alone with their daughter Bonnie on Sunday.
The 36-year-old former Love Island contestant has a 21-month-old child with her ex-partner, a 43-year-old former Hollyoaks actor. Their relationship ended while she was pregnant, and although they briefly reconciled after their daughter’s birth, they ultimately separated for good.
Laura expressed on her Instagram Stories that she believes in the absence of co-parenting and financial assistance. On Father’s Day, she shared her feelings of guilt for her toddler, stating that she felt terrible.
In a video post, Laura is seen giving a sarcastic thumbs up, accompanied by a caption that reads, “Cheers to the single mothers who feel awful for their children on Father’s Day.” She openly shared her emotions and struggles as a single mom on this special day.
Laura also shared a post about sending love on Father’s Day only to add in what appeared to be another swipe: ‘And Great dads who show up and financially support their children. You’re children love you’.

MailOnline have contacted Gary Lucy’s reps for comment.
In January Laura looked back at the last year she said the past 12 months ‘weren’t easy’ as she never imagined that she would become a single parent.
She said that financially she wasn’t supported with Bonnie and that she has been ‘struggling everyday’.
Laura did however include some positive highlights in her post including meeting her new footballer boyfriend Clark Robertson.
Scottish TV star Laura took to her Instagram in July responding to a comment as she claimed Gar hadn’t seen their daughter since early January.
Responding to a troll who questioned whether Bonnie ever sees her father, Laura replied: ‘Do you mean has her daddy seen her…. No he hasn’t since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others x.’
A representative for Gary declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time.
Then in September the actor, who also shares two sons and two daughters with ex-wife Natasha, broke his silence on the matter when a cruel troll commented on a sweet clip of Bonnie playing with her elder brother.

‘When Theodore got to be the big Brother for the day …. If this doesn’t melt your heart I don’t know what will ,’ he captioned.
The post was flooded with touching comments, yet a negative one caught Gary’s eye.
‘Funny you keep posting videos but you never see her,’ a person wrote – but the actor was quick to reply: ‘Nope only you ‘shaz’ everyone else seemed to just enjoy a lovely video ….
‘I’ll block ya in a bit … then ya can set up a new email / insta profile so ya can keep a bitter twisted eye on my page.’
He went on adding in another comment below: ‘Course she does .. she’s invested hours n hours on ppls ‘instagram lives’ that’s gotta going for something right ….. oh wait.’
One fan raced in his support, commenting: ‘Sounds like the Gary police are out in force today, leave the man alone, if you don’t like what he posts then don’t look and unfollow, I’m sure he won’t give a, its his profile, he can post what he likes. Rant over.’
Earlier this month Laura hit back at trolls after suffering backlash for holidaying in the Maldives without her daughter.
She jetted off with her boyfriend Clark and shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from her romantic getaway.
While many gushed over the stunning snaps, one follower accused the reality star of abandoning her toddler.

They wrote: ‘Poor Bonnie ditched again… I just wouldn’t choose to leave my child over and over again thousands of miles away. A wee night away though absolutely!’
Laura wasted no time to hit back and replied: ‘Over and over please explain,’ with many of her fans rushing to defend her.
They branded the critic a ‘mum-shamer’ as they praised Laura for taking some well deserved time for herself.
Firing back once more, Laura commented: ‘No one shames the dads.’
However, the original commenter doubled down, saying: ‘I will if it’s a dad doing it.
‘Shame on Bonnie’s dad, shame on my dad, shame on any dad that treats their kids the way some do. Shame on any sex.
‘And I didn’t say shame on you. Just said you’d ditched the wee babe again.
‘I ain’t ringing the bells like a town crier, just saying bairns been left to someone else to look after while you jet off again!’
Laura later clarified to fans that she had only been away for just four days and had many video calls with her daughter.
