Love Island’s Laura Anderson confirms relationship with Gary Lucy as she opens up about new love

CELEBS Go Dating star Laura Anderson has revealed that she and Gary Lucy are officially together as she opened up about her “blossoming” new romance.

The Love Island star, 33, confirmed that she is dating Hollyoaks star Gary after meeting on the E4 dating show.

The Scottish beauty said the pair both had eyes for each other after a string of failed dates on the show.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the KISS FM Haunted House party, Laura said: “I get on really well with Gary, it’s blossoming.

“It’s the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

“We started off as friends but let see what happens.

“There were loads of dates on the show and sometimes when your dates don’t go that well you just see who else is around.

“Things are going really well for us, I wouldn’t change anything.

“We are going with the flow and seeing where things go.”

Laura teased that the pair went on dates on the show together – but admitted it was Gary who initiated it.

Speaking about breaking the Celebs Go Dating rule, where two celebrities are not allowed to date, Laura laughed: “Well, I didn’t ask anyone out, so I haven’t done anything.”

Asked if the pair had dropped the L-bomb, Laura giggled and said you’ll have to wait and see.

The smitten star insisted she would not be signing up for anymore dating shows after finding “Mr Right” on the popular programme.

Spilling the beans on her Celebs Go Dating experience, Laura said: “It was wild, it was so wild.

“I went on a blind date that was an absolute car crash, I’ve never done that before.

“Like fully a curtain, you spoke to someone behind a curtain. And you know what, personality is key.”

Laura – who split from split from Another Level’s Dane Bowers in the summer – said there will be plenty of tears as she opens up about her past relationships.

She and Dane, 42, were together for five years before their break-up in August.

“It was a lot filming, a lot of ups and downs but an emotional rollercoaster which is kind of what I wanted anyway, it gets to the core, it’s a really credible dating show,” she continued.

“There is a lot to it and it is about you as well.

“Supporting the other celebs was really nice.

“I went through the motions, I already knew Pete Wicks, so gelled well with him, I felt like we were naughty little schoolkids filming together.

“It was lovely to meet Bethan Kershaw, I really got on well with her and Sinitta, I was so starstruck.”

Gary, 40, split from his wife Natasha Gray in 2018 shortly before what would have been their fourth wedding anniversary.

Earlier this month, The Sun exclusively revealed that actor Gary – who has starred in Hollyoaks and Footballers Wives – had grown close to Love Island beauty Laura.

A source close to the production said: “Gary and Laura were all over each other during breaks from filming.

“They kept going off on their own and it was obvious they were hooking up.

“They’re going to go on some proper dates when they’re back in the UK. They make a very sweet couple.”

The insider continued: “Neither of them knew what to expect from joining Celebs Go Dating – but now they have found one another. It is falling into place.

“Laura is really into Gary and has made no secret of how much she likes him. Its early days but there is so much chemistry between them, no one on the show would be surprised if they’re an official couple in a couple of weeks.”

The couple previously fuelled rumours of a romance with a very cosy-looking snap.

It came after they were spotted heading out for a date at a funfair while filming for the show.
