Love Island's Laura Anderson reveals she loves being a WAG as she gushes over her 'very sexy' footballer boyfriend Clark Robertson
The former Love Islander star, 36, admitted she used to 'hate' watching the sport before finding love with Dundee defender Clark Robertson, 31.
Laura, who found fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2018, previously dated Another Level's Dane Bowers, 45, and Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy - with whom she shares daughter Bonnie with - before meeting Clark.
The TV personality revealed she is now learning the rules of football so she can enjoy watching him, fully embracing her duties as a WAG.
She told The Sun: 'I guess I'm a WAG now, I actually really like football, I didn't really like it before.
'To be honest, it just reminded me of my dad hogging the remote when we were young and I never got to watch what I wanted to watch.
'But now I like going to the games - I think he looks very sexy actually because he's quite bossy on the pitch and he's not like that day-to-day, he's such a relaxed, chilled out guy, so on the pitch he's always pointing and I'm like ''what the hell what's going on?''
Single mother Laura, who split from Gary during her pregnancy, also opened up about her daughter Bonnie's first day at nursery as she admitted she 'cried her eyes out' after dropping her off.
Laura, who quit her radio presenting gig on Capital Scotland's Breakfast Show in February after less than a year, added that she has 'no regrets' choosing her daughter over work opportunities as she suffered burnout juggling the early mornings.
Laura recently hit back at trolls after suffering backlash for holidaying in the Maldives without her 21-month-old daughter.
The reality star 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!'
But 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.
The reality star went Instagram official with boyfriend Clark in October last year, sharing an array of loved-up snaps together.

Laura previously detailed the challenges she's faced raising Bonnie as a single parent after she and Gary split before she was born.
The pair met during Celebs Go Dating in 2022, however, they split shortly before she announced her pregnancy in February 2023.
She told The Mirror: 'I think it was hard to get my head around initially, it wasn't what I expected. But that's the cards I was dealt in the end. Of course, I'm going to make it work for my child, even more so. I feel like I'm a really good mum, to be honest.'
Offering advice to other parents facing the same challenges, she added: 'Prioritise what you need to do, it's just me. I have to make it work. I am tired but of course, I'm going to be tired. I'm bringing up a human soul, that's what I signed up for.
'[Bonnie's] great, your social life does take a little bit of a backseat but most people, your good friends understand that.'

Love Island hit with over 1000 Ofcom complaints over bullying and misogyny fears
Ofcom has received over 1000 complaints about ITV reality show Love Island, with many viewers outraged over Yasmin and Ben's row last week. Last week saw 23-year-old taxi driver Ben clash with Yasmin, 24, in a heated row, with viewers calling his behaviour "disgusting" and "immature". According to Ofcom, the dating show received 884 complaints on Thursday about a fiery argument between Yasmin and Ben, while the next day, another 131 viewers went to the regulator over Helena and Harrison's kiss in the Hideaway. Ofcom revealed in a statement that the complaints were related to a "combination of alleged bullying and misogynistic behaviour by a number of contestants, including Ben, Meg and Helen". After Ben told Shakira that he never had real feelings for Yasmin and she found out, Yasmin confronted him over his comments, telling him that it "wasn't the Ben show" and that the "world doesn't revolve around him". The argument then took a turn, with Ben shouting at Yasmin: "This is amazing just given Love Island three weeks of content." He added that "no man wants you in here" and said: "Yasmin is the most irrelevant girl I've ever met."

'Hey is that your twin? Happy birthday' 'This is like a glitch in the Matrix. Why is the person pushing you also you?!' '2 Kalebs ?' 'Kaleb squared.' 'How are you pushing yourself on the swing?' 'Why is Kaleb pushing himself on the swing? My brain has malfunctioned!' Many took to the comments section to share their shock at how similar the siblings look - and Jeremy also left a brutal comment Back in May Kaleb revealed the truth about his absence in Clarkson's Farm series four and explained how 'brilliant' stand-in farmhand Harriet Cowan 'saved the day'. The TV star featured on This Morning over video and chatted with co-hosts Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50.

Kaleb added: 'He shouldn't be trusted alone on the farm, he's getting better but there are loads of things he still can't do.' The star reflected on the work he gets stuck in with at Diddly Squat. He said: 'Loading pigs is hard work, it was incredibly bad weather last year so the mud was unbelievable. They like to try things, they were biting my wellies.'

Mum-of-22 Sue Radford's daughter Chloe sobs over her toddler's DIY haircut which looks like she's ‘shaved her head'
IT'S a situation that many parents can relate to. But that didn't make things any easier for mum-of-22 Sue Radford's daughter Chloe, when she discovered her two-year-old little girl Mila had given herself a DIY haircut. 5 5 5 5 The mum-of-two admitted she was left sobbing when she discovered what her daughter had done. "My two-year-old wants to show you the haircut she's given herself and you'd better say something nice," Chloe began, with the TikTok video following the format of a current viral trend. She then introduced Mila onto the screen, as she said: "Wow, gorgeous. "Are you pleased with yourself?" The little girl showed that she'd taken the scissors to the front of her hair, with Chloe captioning the video: "Honestly if I don't laugh I'll cry!" "Oh gosh Mila," Chloe's mum Sue commented on the video. "Must admit I did a proper open gasp when you sent me the picture this morning. "I think she's actually proud of herself! "She's just getting herself ready for her birthday in a few weeks!" "Why do they always have to take it to the scalp though?!" another added. Can £39 viral split ends cutter replace hairdresser "My daughter did this and I actually cried a whole river!" "Honestly it looks like she's shaved it," Chloe replied. "I can't believe how much she's cut!! So upset I cried loads!" "Oh Mila," someone else wrote. "I'd definitely cry so well done Chloe!" "No I did cry when I first saw it, can't lie haha," Chloe replied. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Other people in the comments took aim at Chloe for even allowing Mila anywhere near some scissors. "My point would be how she got scissors to be alone," one wrote. To which someone else replied; "Either you aren't a parent... Or you're in denial about things self professed perfect humans believe children shouldn't do just to belittle parents. "One of my kids shaved her eyebrow once. "Yes I felt guilty she got hold of my razor... But I'm glad I'm not judgemental like you!" "Came here for the comments blaming you for not watching her or allowing her access to scissors," another responded. "It'll grow before you know it! And it's a rite of passage like a Sudocremed child!" However, there were some who used the comments section to admit they'd found themselves in similar situations with their kids when they were little. "I did this to my hair when I was about 7... I wore a headband for months til it grew out again!" one wrote. "Bless her, we've all experienced that," another laughed. "Luckily she can have a side parting with a pretty hairslide to keep it in place." "My daughter cut the entire right side of her hair off," a third admitted. "I was hysterically crying. "She's 19 now and it grew back lovely - the joy of kids!" 5
