When OK! last caught up with Laura Anderson, her beautiful daughter Bonnie was just weeks old. Nestled into her mum's arms back then the tot, who was born on 2 September, was - and clearly always will be - the love of Laura's life. Now, fast forward six months from our exclusive newborn photoshoot, and the TV star - who shares the seven-month-old with ex Gary Lucy - is as besotted as ever and finally feels like she's got to grips with this 'parenting thing.' "People told me that if I had a wee girl she would become my best friend, and I sort of didn't believe them.
It's 100% true though. My life revolves around Bonnie," Laura laughs. "The mum guilt from juggling work is tough though." Motherhood isn't the only reason we're here to take up some of the new mum's precious time as Laura opens up on her exciting radio gig - presenting on Capital Breakfast Scotland.
"My dad said I can talk for Scotland, so it's really a dream come true for me," the 34 year old joked. "I'll be waking up Scots Monday to Friday and I'm so excited." Here, the former Love Island star lifts the lid on her determination to 'provide' for Bonnie, how she's juggling it all, and the dreaded 'mum-guilt'... Hi Laura.
We can't believe Bonnie is now seven months old! Are you quite strict with her routine? I wouldn't say 'strict' as such but I do like to stick to a schedule, if I can. It means she knows what's happening and so do I. For example, she has naps at specific times and I try to prep all her food beforehand, which definitely helps when my mum and dad are watching her.
I've got a good support system around me. But I thought the milk part was hard but weaning is a whole different story. When I get everything sorted though, I feel invincible.
