Laura Anderson says being a single parent has been hard.
Laura Anderson on life as a single parent
The former 'Love Island' star split from actor Gary Lucy, 42, before their daughter Bonnie was born and Laura admitted that while she never expected to be single when raising her child, she is determined to make it work for them.
She told The Mirror: "I think it was hard to get my head around initially, it wasn't what I expected. But that's the cards I was dealt in the end. Of course, I'm going to make it work for my child, even more so. I feel like I'm a really good mum, to be honest."
However, Laura, 34, admitted that things can be difficult.
She said: "Prioritise what you need to do, it's just me. I have to make it work. I am tired but of course, I'm going to be tired. I'm bringing up a human soul, that's what I signed up for.
"[Bonnie's] great, your social life does a take a little bit of a backseat but most people, your good friends understand that.
"Think how many mums out there are struggling with that work-life balance, it's not just me. It's so relatable and that's the best thing about 'Love Island', having a social media following, I've really understood it more since having a baby. It's so nice to resonate and it really is a positive place.
"It's just full of mums, it's not all about 'you're trying to look sexy all the time' because that's not important."
