Love Island’s Laura Anderson cruelly mum-shamed as she shows off new pram days before giving birth
LOVE Island star Laura Anderson has come under fire from social media trolls after revealing her brand new pram.
The pregnant reality star, who will soon welcome her first child, has been criticised for flaunting her gifted baby gear.
Some followers took a swipe at the mum-to-be, 34, after she shared a demonstration video with her new Egg pram, having previously shown off her Mamas & Papas Ocarro pram.
Laura made it clear the item was a freebie in her caption, which read: “Can’t wait to meet my little Egg. In the meantime I’ve had fun with @newbieandme thanks for my special delivery and tutorial on the operation of ‘Egg 2 Feather Geo’ (she is simply stunning) lightweight, smooth and compact just what I need. Looking forward to her first outing soon @eggstrolleruk *gifted.”
But it was met with a mixed response.
One person wrote: “Let’s hope you gift one of the prams you’ve been #gifted to someone who can’t afford one.”
Another asked: “Have you bought anything for your child or simply relying on free gifts from companies.”
A third said: “2 prams 2 car seats really.”
A fourth complained: “You say you support single mums blah blah blah and here you are giving away a gifted pram to your daughters father who happens to be a millionaire. Could you not of donated it to one of the charities you say you support? Shame on you!!!”
Laura’s fans defended her vigorously.
One hit back: “Green eyed monsters out today.”
Another said: “For all the moaners. It’s not free this is part of Laura’s income. She doesn’t get maternity leave and she’s working right up until her baby girl arrives. Leave off and give her a break or unfollow.”
Laura even responded to one, explaining that the Ocarro car seat she received was now with the baby’s dad, Gary Lucy, who lives elsewhere.
The pair met on Celebs Go Dating last year but split soon after announcing they were expecting.
Laura said they called it quits after “everything became too chaotic”.
Last week Laura furiously hit back at mum-shamers and branded the comments “vile”.
After taking to Instagram to share a clip of her blossoming bump, Laura retaliated in the comments section.
She fumed: “Can everyone stop telling me I’ve been pregnant forever it’s really annoying.”
