LAURA Anderson has shocked fans with a video of the awful bruises she has been left with following the birth of her daughter Bonnie Rose.
The Love Island star, 34, welcomed Bonnie into the world on September 2 but admitted her little girl had “hurt mummy a little bit”.

Laura hasn’t elaborated further on what exactly happened in the labour room, although she said Bonnie’s dad – her ex Gary Lucy – was left “scared”.
Thankfully, Laura and Bonnie are now home from hospital and recovering, although it hasn’t been straightforward.
Taking to Instagram, Laura has shown fans her black and blue bruises on her forearms, presumably from a cannulas.
The former air stewardess has also revealed that she needs antibiotics to treat mastitis, which is inflammation and sometimes infection in the breast tissue.
In a video of her bruises and ankles, Laura wrote: “Got mastitis already, eek, so off for some antibiotics.
“P.S don’t be a hero and get that epidural. Do not wait until you’re 9cm.
“P.S. Currently had zero visitors as everyone has covid. Safety first.”
The new mum added: “The kankles have almost subsided. But these bruises, ouch.
“The glamorous life of postpartum. I’ll hold off on sharing other symptoms.”
Laura gave birth to Bonnie with Gary by her side on September 2, although the pair held off announcing their news for five days.
But on Thursday, Laura shared an adorable video of their baby girl on Instagram and said: “I was born 02/09/23 at 06.03am and weighed 6.10lbs.
“My mummy and daddy are sooo in happy and in love with me, this is our first week together.
“I’m sorry it’s taken me some time to introduce myself, I hurt mummy a little bit and scared daddy too (oops) we’re all now recovering well at home.”
Unfortunately, Laura didn’t have an easy pregnancy after breaking up with Gary.
The former couple met on Celebs Go Dating, but endured a bitter break up months after announcing they were to be parents.
In a Q&A, she said there was no chance of them getting back together.
Divorced Gary — who has two sons and two daughters with his former wife, Natasha — claimed Laura dumped him following a series of rows and his refusal to move to her native Scotland.
Laura spoke out to deny this – leaving fans in the dark as to the real reason why they parted ways.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Gary vowed to “never stop loving her” – and said he was “gutted” when Laura ended their relationship.
In August, however, The Sun revealed the pair had reunited days before the birth of Bonnie.
They were then spotted enjoying a romantic dinner for two in Scotland.
Since becoming a mum, Laura has coyly batted away questions about the current status of her relationship with Gary.
