EXCLUSIVE: Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has opened up about her 21-month-old daughter Bonnie’s emotional first day at nursery yesterday – which left them both in tears
Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has revealed she was left “in tears” after dropping her daughter Bonnie off for her first day of nursery in a huge milestone for the pair.
Laura, 36, welcomed her first child Bonnie in September 2023, and yesterday, 21-month-old Bonnie embarked on a new journey, as she started her first day at nursery. However, it wasn’t easy for either Laura or Bonnie, as Laura revealed they both broke down in tears.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Laura said: “Bonnie had her first day at nursery today. Honestly, I started crying when I dropped her off.
“As a single parent, it’s hard to let go and trust other people to look after your little baby,” she continued. However, Laura wasn’t the only one in floods of tears, as she revealed little Bonnie was the one to set her off.
“I think we’re so used to being just us. So she actually cried, and then I got in the car and started crying. What a nightmare!,” she laughed. “But apparently it’s normal!”
However, Laura was quickly reassured by the nursery, who sent her photos of Bonnie via their app, to show her how well she’d settled in. “She’s a very independent little sassy things, but still a mummy’s girl!,” Laura said.
Bonnie is a natural in front of the camera, regularly featuring in adorable videos and pictures on her mum’s Instagram account.
Since becoming a mum, Laura says her social media has “changed in a positive way,” as she’s joined a “new mum gang,” in which she receives support from others in the same position. “It makes you feel less like an alien if someone else is crying dropping their kid off,” she laughed.
As well as posting her relationship with daughter Bonnie, Laura also features her relationship with footballer Clark Hudson on social media, since going public in October.
“Him and Bonnie are like little BFFs,” Laura said of Clark, who has two children of his own. “They have fun together, they play hide and seek and hide from me in the house. I feel really lucky to have him. He’s a nice little help and all the kids get on really well.”
Aside from being a mum, Laura is keeping busy with her career, and was recently given the honour of hosting the red carpet at Pride Of Scotland for the first time earlier this week. The awards, which took place in Glasgow celebrate Scotland’s remarkable unsung heroes.
“It was an honour to be asked back for a third year to host the red carpet,” Laura said – admitting she was taken aback by the remarkable actions of the young unsung heroes. “These tiny little humans are doing better things in the world than us 30/40 year olds in the room watching them.
“Their parents must be so proud of them, it was insane,” Laura continued. “It was such a humbling, incredible experience.”
