‘To top it all off, Bonnie just wants to be held constantly. I know I’m lucky and I hate being that person who moans but my goodness there aren’t enough hours in the day. Trying to keep it together.’
Laura’s comment about struggling as a single mother comes after she previously accused his ex-partner Gary about not seeing his daughter.

In July, the Scottish TV star took to her Instagram to respond to a comment asking how often Bonnie sees her actor father.
In response to a troll who asked if Bonnie has ever seen her father, Laura replied: ‘You mean her dad has seen her…?’ No, you haven’t since January 2nd, if you wish to direct those questions to him, as I have no control over the actions of others x.’
After Laura’s accusation, Gary responded to a cruel troll who suggested he was a “lazy dad.”
Under a very sweet clip showing the soap star’s son playing with Bonnie, who was lying in a hammock, he wrote: ‘When Theodore got to be a big brother for a day…. If this doesn’t melt your heart I don’t know what will do it ‘.
The post was flooded with heartwarming comments, but a negative one caught Gary’s attention.
“Funny how you keep posting videos but never watch it,” one person wrote, but the actor was quick to respond: “No, just you shaz”, everyone else seemed to just enjoy a beautiful video…
“I’ll block you in a moment…then you can set up a new email/insta profile so you can keep a devious eye on my page.”

In July, the Scottish TV star slammed her ex-partner in an Instagram comment, claiming Gary had not seen their daughter since January.
Following Laura’s accusation, Gary responded to a cruel troll who suggested he was a “lazy dad” by explaining that he did see his little girl.
He went on to add another comment below: ‘Of course you do… you’ve invested hours and hours into the “Instagram lives” of people who have to go for something right… oh wait.’
One fan ran to his support and commented: “Looks like the Gary police are in action today, leave the man alone, if you don’t like what he posts don’t watch and unfollow him, I’m sure he won.” It doesn’t matter, it’s your profile, you can post whatever you want. Rant.’
Laura previously detailed the challenges she faced raising Bonnie as a single mother after she and Gary split before she was born.
she said The mirror at that time: “I think it was difficult to understand at first, it wasn’t what I expected.” But those were the cards I was dealt in the end. Of course, I’m going to make it work for my son, even more so. To be honest, I feel like I’m a very good mother.”
Offering advice to other parents facing the same challenges, she added: ‘Prioritise what you need to do, that’s just me. I have to make it work. I’m tired but of course, I’m going to be tired. I’m raising a human soul, that’s what I signed up for.
“(Bonnie) is great, your social life takes a bit of a backseat, but most people, your good friends, understand.”
‘Think about how many mothers are struggling with work-life balance, it’s not just me. It’s very relatable and that’s the best thing about ‘Love Island’, having a following on social media, I’ve really understood it better since I had a baby. “It’s very nice to resonate and it’s really a positive place.”
“It’s full of moms, it’s not just about ‘trying to look sexy all the time’ because that’s not important.”
The reality star previously confessed that she felt like she was left in the dark after he publicly announced the split without telling her as he hoped they would work it out.
Laura has previously detailed the challenges she faced raising Bonnie as a single mother after she and Gary split before she was born.
Since their separation, the former couple has not maintained a friendly relationship and Laura confessed in September that she felt ‘attacked’ when Gary announced their breakup while she was pregnant.
Laura added that she felt like she had been robbed of the pregnancy she had envisioned because Gary went public with their separation without informing her.
Talking to Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton on Made by moms: the podcast, She said: ‘Technically, Gary and I planned to have Bonnie and we were so happy and excited and it was around Christmas. I knew it right away and took a test.
“I was so excited to become a mom that I feel like I’m going to cry if I talk about this, but the personal things with your dad. I always imagined having my partner there and I liked that it was all about you being pregnant, but I I didn’t have that.’
Laura continued: ‘We broke up for a reason. He made it public without telling me that he was going to tell everyone that we weren’t together on the same day that we were going to announce that I was pregnant.
“Even though we weren’t technically together, I was hoping we would work it out, but as soon as he made it public it felt like an attack and like we weren’t going to work this out, now it’s public and he did it the day we were going to announce I was pregnant.
“So what should have been a magical moment and behind the scenes might have been a bit difficult, then turned into a media circus of negativity.
“I was trolled for the way we broke up. I never really said anything negative because I was vulnerable and I wanted our relationship to work and I was afraid to say anything.”
