Laura Anderson has appeared to share messages from her ex Gary Lucy amid their ongoing war of words - and revealed her brutal nickname for him. Hollyoaks actor Gary accused the Love Island star of using their daughter Bonnie "for financial gain" in a bid to "stay relevant" on social media.
The pair started dating after they both appeared on Channel 4 ’s Celebs Go Dating in 2022 and welcomed their daughter together in 2023. Despite them splitting up while Laura was pregnant, the couple attempted reconciliation ahead of Bonnie's birth.
However, it wasn't meant to be and the pair haven't been on great terms since. Laura recently took a swipe at fathers who "hide money" on social media and Gary was quick to have his say.

Reposting, he wrote: "Wait.. what. The narcissist's greatest asset for leverage is a child. Children of narcissists are collateral damage in their game of control.
"… don't forget… exploiting the child for financial gain on socials anything to keeps em 'relevant'," he fumed. Gary hit out after Laura's posted about the 'fairness' of child maintenance. She wrote: “Explain this CMS ie UK Government. “CMS calculation is BEFORE tax on the unemployed (some people paying 40% tax).
“Ltd Companies (ie 1 Director) is calculated on <12k per year regardless of profit/ dividends. And nothing happens if a ‘Ltd company’ doesn’t pay (or hides their income elsewhere).” She then asked her followers: “Is the system fair for single parents/ co parents?”
Laura has now responded as she shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat, which appears to be from Gary. However, the number was saved as 'Lucifer' in her phone.
Alongside the post, she said: "Step 1. I discuss problems with the Child Maintenance System in the UK. Step 2. My ex publicly calls me a Narc."
She continued: "Step 4. I wake up to messages like this. Step 5. Do not feel silenced by bullies. Step 6. I am not the Narc."
Laura then shared a photo of Gary's ex-wife Natasha with her four children as she praised: "From one proud hard working mother to another. We are lucky to call our beautiful babies siblings. You have been and still continue to be my rock. Bonnie and I love you all."
Gary had posted a quote on social media which read: "The narcissists greatest asset for leverage is a child. Children of narcissists are collateral damage in their game of control."
The soap star, who shares four older children with ex-wife Natasha, then added: "Don't forget... exploiting the child for financial gain on socials anything to keeps em "relevant" [sic]."
Laura previously opened up to the Mirror about the challenges of being a single parent, telling us: "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.
"[Bonnie's] great, your social life does take a little bit of a backseat but most people, your good friends understand that," she added when sharing advice for other women in a similar situation.
"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."
