It comes after Laura revealed she felt ‘attacked’ when her Gary announced their split while she was pregnant, as she felt she was stripped of the pregnancy she had imagined.
In conversation with Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton Made by Moms: The Podcast, She said: ‘Technically Gary and I were planning to have Bonnie and we were very happy and excited and it was around Christmas. I knew immediately and took a test.
‘I was so excited to become a mother, I feel like I’m going to cry talking about this, but the personal stuff with her dad, I always imagined my partner being there and it being all about your pregnancy , but I didn’t have that.’
Laura continued, “We broke up for a reason. He made it public without telling me that he would tell everyone we weren’t together the same day we announced I was pregnant.
“Even though we weren’t technically together I was hoping we would work things out but as soon as he made it public it felt like an attack and like we’re not going to work this out it’s public now and he did that on the day that we would announce that I was pregnant.

“So what should have been a magical time and might have been a little difficult behind the scenes then turned into a media circus of negativity.
“I was cheated on because of the way we broke up. I never really said anything negative because I was vulnerable and wanted our relationship to work and was afraid to say anything.”
Laura previously described the challenges she faced raising Bonnie as a single parent after she and Gary split before she was born.
She told The Mirror: ‘I think it was hard to wrap my head around it at first, it wasn’t what I expected. But those are the cards I was ultimately dealt. Of course I’m going to make it work for my child, and then some. To be honest, I feel like I’m a really good mother.”
Giving advice to other parents facing the same challenges, she added: ‘Prioritize what you need to do, I’m the only one. I have to make it work. I’m tired, but of course I’ll be tired too. I am raising a human soul, that is what I signed up for.’
‘[Bonnie’s] Great, your social life is a bit in the background, but most people, your close friends, understand that.’
