Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has hit out at her ex boyfriend Gary Lucy as she cheers to ‘single mums’ on Fathers Day and says she feels bad for her daughter

Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has taken a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy on Father’s Day as she told her social media followers that she feels bad for her 2-year-old daughter Bonnie. Laura and Gary started dating after they both appeared on Channel 4 ’s Celebs Go Dating in 2022 and welcomed their daughter together in 2023.

Despite them splitting up while Laura was pregnant, the couple attempted reconciliation ahead of the birth of their daughter, Bonnie, in September 2023. They were seen together in Scotland, and Gary was present during the labour and delivery, however, it wasn’t meant to be, and they split again.

Laura took to social media on Father’s Day wearing a pink top and her hair styled in waves as she took a dig at her daughter’s dad. Posing with a slight smile and her thumb up, Laura wrote: “Cheers to the single mums that feel sh*t for their kids on Father’s Day.”

Gary revealed their split to The Sun in February 2023 when Laura was pregnant. He said: “I love Laura, but we are no longer together. My main drive as always, is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby.”

In 2024, Laura began a new relationship with footballer Clark Robertson, whom she had reportedly known for several years. They went Instagram official in October 2024 and recently moved in together.

Laura keeps her followers updated on her life as a mum on Instagram and recently received backlash for going on a romantic getaway with her new boyfriend, without her daughter. After sharing a bunch of loved-up snaps online, Laura swiftly hit back at the nasty online trolls who tried to guilt-trip her about her picture-perfect getaway.

Laura told her followers: “Just to clarify, I do not feel guilty at all for holidaying without my child. Neither should you! Bonnie and I have holidayed together a lot, and it’s pretty obvious I’m a lone parent and look after her myself. l 100% deserve as many breaks as I see fit.”

She said: “I truly worry about the children of the women judging online and spreading hate. Spend your time reading your child a book instead of trolling me.”

The former Love Island star added: “I’m also not afraid to say I know l am an unbelievable mother, so your trolling doesn’t affect me. It just makes me sad that my daughter is growing up in a world like this. I truly hope you heal.”

A source claimed to OK! that the online backlash has been deeply unpleasant for the mum, but she’s doing her best not to let it get under her skin. They said “Laura doesn’t feel she’s done anything wrong – apart from having a good time on holiday with her boyfriend, and sharing her posts, like many of us do.”

“She adores her daughter and is absolutely devoted to her. It’s horrible for her to read these comments – but she’s her own woman, she won’t let it stop her living her life or let it destroy her happiness.”

Justin Bieber has taken to social media to share a rather blunt message with his followers as he celebrates his first Father’s Day since welcoming his son Jack

Pop sensation Justin Bieber made a bold statement on social media this past Sunday to commemorate his first Father’s Day with a surprisingly blunt message.

Taking to Instagram, the 31 year old posted an edgy black and white snap of his face emblazoned with the middle finger emoji, set against BossMan Dlow’s “Talk My S–t” tune.

The caption from Justin read: “I’m a dad that’s not to be f–ked with [middle finger emoji].”

August 2024 marked a milestone for Justin and his wife Hailey as they welcomed baby boy Jack Blues Bieber into the world.

Fans, lovingly dubbed ‘Beliebers’, swarmed his post with support. One admirer said: “justin is STANDING ON BUSINESS ! ! ! DON’T MESS WITH HIM OR HIS FAMILY ! ! !” Others chimed in with messages like “happy father’s day justin! ! we know you’re the best dad to Jack blues! !” and heartfelt wishes of “Happy 1st Father’s Day! We love you soo much.”

One more fan asserted: “Tell em JB! Happy Father’s Day.”, reports the Mirror US.

Justin, evidently settling into parenthood, has been delighting his followers with glimpses of his life as a dad, sharing photos of him cradling tiny Jack or teasing snapshots of the tot’s little toes and fingers.

For Justin, being a father was a long-cherished ambition—something he confided in during his candid YouTube docuseries, Justin Bieber: Seasons.

His close bond with his younger siblings, Jazmyn and Jaxon, along with his mother Pattie Mallette’s words, highlighted his lifelong paternal instinct.

Justin’s Father’s Day message follows on the heels of a recent confrontation with the paparazzi that grabbed headlines.

A widely shared video captured the singer approaching photographers and launching into a tirade, visibly annoyed when they wished him a “Happy Father’s Day.”

Justin instructed the paparazzi to respect his boundaries, cease speaking to him, refrain from invading his personal space, and avoid approaching him without acquaintance.

Throughout the exchange, Justin’s anger flared before he managed to compose himself on multiple occasions.

At one point, he was overheard saying: “Stop provoking me. I’m a real dad, a real husband, a real man.”

Pop star Lily Allen has been seen getting to know another actor as she enjoyed a day out at a London festival following her split from husband David Harbour last year

Lily Allen has been spotted getting cosy with another actor following her split from husband David Harbour. The pop star, 40, is said to have joined celebrity dating app Raya in an effort to move on from their painful separation.

It appears it may have worked as she was seen getting close with actor James Norton over the weekend. It comes after Lily and Stranger Things actor David split in December last year – four years after they married one another.

Earlier this year, it was claimed that throughout their marriage, David had an affair behind Lily’s back. He was reportedly spotted on a celebrity dating app during his marriage to Lily.

The actor has not publicly acknowledged the accusations that he cheated on Lily or that he was on an app while married to the singer. It seems Lily is ready to focus on herself and have fun as she beamed alongside James, 39, at the Lido ­Festival in East London on Saturday.

The actor, who split from his model girlfriend last month, is also said to use dating app Raya. Lily and James were seen at the festival as they shunned the VIP arena in favour of watching the artists on their own, including Charli XCX, in photos seen by the Sun.

“Lily and James appeared to be on a date,” a source told the publication. “They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX.

“Lily was leaning into him at one point. She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle.” The pair were said to be drinking non-alcoholic beer and that festival goers were doing double takes when they saw them together.

Things have been tough for Lily following the split as she entered a treatment centre earlier this year in order to process the breakdown of her marriage. In March, Lily opened up about the split for the first time during a live recording of her podcast at the Hackney Empire in London, telling the crowd: “I am not over it.

“I am sort of running away. Maybe I will have a nervous breakdown.” David recently talked about his personal life as he said he had let himself go “physically and emotionally.”

It came just hours after he confirmed their split after ditching his wedding ring on the red carpet at the premiere for the Marvel movie, Thunderbolts. David said: “I can go to these dark places.”

When prompted directly about his split from Lily, David gave a two-word response. “Oh boy,” he commented. But he later opened up about his reasoning for remaining silent.

“I’m protective of the people and the reality of my life,” he said. He added to GQ Magazine that he didn’t see the point in engaging with the interest surrounding the split as it had been based on “hysterical hyperbole.”

The Mirror has contacted James and Lily’s representatives for comment.

“To my son, Rob… you were born to be a daddy and I am so proud of the father and the man you are. I love you! I wish all the dads out there a day filled with love.”

Fans shared their appreciation of Kris’ inclusive post, praising her for including everyone despite troubled relationships. “She didn’t discriminate,” one user wrote.

Another posted: “Momma knows how to include all the daddies regardless of what… Kris is a true definition of a Queen,” while one said: “This post says a lot about you. You are a symbol of unity and positivity despite the challenges you’ve faced since being on our screens for more than a decade that we’ve watched your beautiful family.”

“Appreciate the inclusiveness no matter the personal differences, go Kris,” another added. One fan shut down the criticism from some unsure fans, writing: “All y’all hating but at the end of the day they are ALL still dads she showed appreciation to each of them!”

Meanwhile, Kris recently lifted the lid on her facelift after her daughter Kylie Jenner revealed the exact details of her boob job. After Kylie told fans Garth Fisher was the surgeon who gave her a breast enhancement, he responded on social media.

“I’m honoured to be acknowledged by Kylie—her kind words were unexpected but truly appreciated,” the doctor wrote to his followers.

He continued: “Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over 3 decades, we’ve never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements. This is more than policy—it’s our culture.”

He went on to reference HIPAA (patient privacy) laws and why he will never discuss a client’s procedures without their permission, adding: “Every patient is unique. This isn’t ‘cookbook’ surgery—it’s thoughtful, personalised care.”

In the comment section, Kris was quick to gush over the doctor and thank him for his past work on her body amid buzz surrounding her new rumoured facelift. “Garth you are such a superstar class act,” the momanger told the surgeon.

“You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it’s like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!”

Brooklyn Beckham has failed to mark Father’s Day for his dad David Beckham amid their family fallout despite the football icon’s olive branches through social media

David Beckham’s public calls to his eldest son Brooklyn Beckham have appeared to have landed flat as he has failed to mark Father’s Day. The football icon, 50, has been locked in a bitter family fallout with his son, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.

Things came to blows for the Beckhams when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations despite flying to London from Los Angeles. Since, Brooklyn has appeared keen to express his loyalties towards his wife amid reports he has stopped responding to messages from his famous family.

Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge David’s long awaited knighthood on Friday and has now ignored Father’s Day. For the family who have long used social media to post gushing personal messages, it seems Brooklyn’s silence could be deafening.

His younger brothers Romeo and Cruz led the way in paying tribute to David for the special day. Cruz shared a snap of him chilling in the sun with his sports star dad and captioned the post saying: ” Happy Father’s Day, I love you x.”

Meanwhile, Romeo posted two pictures of him and his father. One was of him as a child with David and he captioned it simply saying: “love you.”

David shared his own public message to his children as he appeared to hint at the feud. He shared: “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…

“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”

Throughout the day, David shared a series of throwback photos of his family as he shared his pride at being a dad. He tagged all his children in the posts, yet still did not receive a response from Brooklyn.

His wife Nicola chose to share the love to her own dad but not her in-law. She shared a series of photos throughout the years with her dad Nelson alongside a touching caption.

Nicola wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad in the world I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support I love you beyond words. Happy Father’s Day dad.”

Brooklyn recently shared a picture of a tattoo that could be perceived as a tell-tale sign about where his loyalties lie. The image shows the tattoo on Brooklyn’s upper back that is based on a note Nicola, 30, wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022.

Tattooed in a stylish calligraphy font, it reads: “My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.”

The Matinee stage at the Parklife festival was closed this evening with bosses at the festival making the decision to pause proceedings at the dance arena following ‘advice from the safety team’

Parklife festival goers received a surprising update that one of its prime stages was shut, citing ‘safety’ worries as the cause. Revellers were earlier asked to evacuate from the Matinee stage, following a decision by Heaton Park festival chiefs to halt the dance arena’s programme based on ‘advice from the safety team’.

Manchester’s own DJ Josh Baker and Denmark’s Chris Stussy had been lined up to grace the stage Sunday evening. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Baker, who was scheduled for a 6.30pm to 8pm slot, expressed his regrets saying he was ‘deeply sorry’ he couldn’t take the stage.

On social media to his followers, he announced: “Unfortunately, I will not be performing at Parklife due to reasons outside of my control. I deeply apologise. I can’t really put into words what today was going to mean for me.”

Chris Stussy, set to close the stage with an 8pm to 11pm performance, found himself in the same position, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Taking to Instagram, Stussy revealed his disappointment at not being able to perform, mentioning ‘safety comes first’ and pointed out that the closure was ‘due to safety reasons’ and issues with the ‘stage being over-crowded’.

By way of an alert through the Parklife app, festival organisers informed that there was an interruption at the Matinee stage. Festival-goers saw the message: “Upon advice of the PL safety team, the show on the Matinee stage has been paused. We will update asap.”

In a fresh statement released this evening, Parklife’s spokesperson announced: “As a result of crowd movement at the Matinee Stage and on the advice of our safety team to remove the risk of any potential incidents, Parklife made the decision to close the stage for the remainder of the final day of the festival.

“Unfortunately it has been impossible to relocate Josh Baker’s and Chris Stussy’s performances to a new stage. Our teams worked quickly and diligently to address the situation and the safety of our festival attendees is always our utmost priority.”

Attendees described the stage area as dangerously overcrowded, with ‘all packed together’ and ‘too many people in’. A staff member reportedly took to the stage to announce an evacuation due to a ‘health and safety emergency’.

Lizzie Brown, 18, from Birmingham, said: “I was in there and they were letting too many people in. We were all packed together, but stuck. This man on the mic said everyone needs to leave. He said it was a health and safety emergency. As we were leaving, we had to climb over the barrier to get out.”

Several hopefuls lingered outside the Matinee stage, wishing for it to reopen, yet eventually dispersed when it became clear that it wouldn’t be in time for Stussy’s scheduled performance. The rest of the festival’s stages continued to operate without interruption
