Laura anderson responds to mum shaming over maldives trip without baby bonnie

THE MUM JETTED OFF ON A ROMANTIC HOLIDAY WITH HER FOOTBALLER BOYFRIEND AND LEFT HER ONE-YEAR-OLD BEHIND AT HOME 08:55, 03 Jun 2025Updated 08:56, 03 Jun 2025 Laura Anderson has hit back at

critics after facing a wave of mum-shaming for holidaying in the Maldives without her one-year-old daughter, Bonnie. The former Love Island star, 36, jetted off for a romantic getaway with

her boyfriend Clark Robertson and shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from the luxurious trip. While some fans gushed over the photos of her tropical escape, one follower accused the mum of

prioritising travel over parenting. 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!" Laura didn’t hesitate to respond, replying: "Over and over please explain." The comment triggered a heated discussion in the replies, with many of Laura’s loyal

fans rushing to defend her. Several branded the critic a "mum-shamer" and praised Laura for taking some well-deserved time for herself. Firing back again, Laura wrote: "No one

shames the dads." But 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. Article continues below "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 bairn’s 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 four days and kept in constant contact

with Bonnie via video calls. The backlash comes after Laura spoke about challenges she has faced as a single parent earlier this year. The former air hostess revealed she had turned down

work opportunities due to childcare challenges and criticised her ex Gary Lucy, 43, for not providing co-parenting or financial support. In a heartfelt social media post, Laura shared:

"2024 wasn’t easy. I became a single parent which I never thought would be my life. Bonnie and I ran off to Dubai which I always do when I'm sad. I had an epiphany and made a

conscious decision not to be a victim because I knew I had to create an incredible life for my incredible daughter." Despite the challenges, Laura said she was determined to stay

positive, adding: "I struggle everyday like most to find the perfect balance in life… All we really need is love." Laura welcomed Bonnie in September 2023 after her split from Gary

Lucy. While the couple briefly reunited, they separated again shortly after. Article continues below The reality star also recently opened up about the difficulty of managing her dog

Buddy’s behaviour around her daughter. "He actually bit Bonnie twice and it was just really difficult in the flat," she explained. "But I think now I've got more space

and she's older…" Now that she is moving into a new home, Laura is hopeful that her dog and child will be able to get along. She added: "Peace, over and out to flat life and

onwards and upwards in a lovely big house." _LIKE THIS STORY? FOR MORE OF THE LATEST SHOWBIZ NEWS AND GOSSIP, FOLLOW MIRROR CELEBS ON __TIKTOK __, __SNAPCHAT __, __INSTAGRAM __,
