But David, who’s the Scottish star’s father, has rubbished claims that his daughter has lied about her age – as an official copy of her birth certificate proves she is 29.

David said: “Laura is 29-years-old and I'm the person to know – I’m her dad.”

A source added: “Love Island bosses have seen her passport and other forms of documentation and can confirm that she has not lied about her age in any way.

“Viewers have made assumptions based on Laura’s appearance but in reality she is 29 and will celebrate her 30th birthday next year."
