Laura Anderson’s ex, pregnant Gary Lucy, has said he is “devastated” when he broke his silence on their surprise split on Sunday.
The 41-year-old actor, who met the 33-year-old former Love Island star on E4’s Celebs Go Dating in October last year, admitted he “won’t stop loving her”.
Following a whirlwind romance, the couple announced they were expecting a child together earlier this month, but news of the split surfaced soon after.

In a new interview, the Bill star spoke candidly, saying he was “really gutted” that their relationship didn’t work out because he wanted it to “be perfect.”
Upset: Pregnant Laura Anderson’s ex Gary Lucy said he’s ‘devastated’ when she broke silence on their shock split on Sunday
speaking to sun on sundayGary explained how he split up with Laura two weeks ago, after she refused to move to Scotland with her, as they have four children in Essex.
He said: ‘Having been through a divorce, my children need me and living so far away from them just wouldn’t be possible. I wish I could break myself in half. I would if I could.
‘I know Laura was over the moon [about the pregnancy]. However, things are not as I would have liked them to be. I’m a romantic, so I want things to be perfect.
“I will always want that fairy tale, but as you get older, you have to realize that it doesn’t always work. I am really devastated. I have not stopped loving her and I will not stop loving her.’
Gary’s interview comes after Laura criticized cruel trolls for abusing her online, insisting she won’t tolerate any negative comments on her social media pages.
On Saturday, Laura took to Instagram to tell her followers that she would instantly block anyone who said anything negative about her pregnancy, adding that she is not a “victim, even in my vulnerable state.”
She wrote: ‘If anyone writes anything negative on my page about my pregnancy, they will be blocked.
“Nobody here, except my friends and family, knows the reality of the last months of my life because I don’t comment on press articles or give details of any other party.”
