Pregnant Laura Anderson mum-shamed by cruel trolls after she boasts about what size clothes she’s wearing
PREGNANT Laura Anderson has slammed cruel trolls after she revealed that she was still a size XS.
The reality star – who is currently expecting with her first child with ex boyfriend Gary Lucy – showed off her changing baby body in a new clothes reel on Instagram.
Laura, 33, stripped down to her underwear as she gave fans a glimpse of her blossoming baby bump.
Alongside the post, she wrote: “Buzzing I fit in an XS trouser, I swear last week I was an M.”
But some fans have hit out at the star for boasting about her slim figure at four months pregnant.
One wrote: “I’m a medium and I’m not pregnant.”
Another posted: “You know it’s normal to be a medium while pregnant.”
Laura was fed up of the backlash and took to social media to defend herself.
She went onto share some of the hideous abuse she had received, including one troll who sent her a DM which read: “Hope you drown you moron.”
Another follower told her to “get over” her pregnancy.
The mum-to-be said she’d been inundated with nasty messages which has had an impact on her mental and physical health.
“I don’t like to share the negativity I receive on here but it has been more than usual recently.
“I’ve blocked to many people for disgusting and damaging comments.
“It blows my mind that people conjure up such strong assumptions of what they think goes on behind closed doors.”
She continued: “Never in my life did I think I would receive negative accusations on my character from strangers while going through a break up and pregnant.
“My tolerance for trolling at the minute is SO low. It’s honestly so damaging to my mental and physical health I thought this was obvious.”
“Thankfully the positive outweighs the negative but sometimes it’s hard to see when you’re in the firing line.
“I really appreciate the amazing messages and support.
“Rant over. Cheers to the normal people, you keep me sane online.”
It comes days after Laura appeared to take a swipe at her ex Gary Lucy in a new post, after he announced their baby’s gender without her consent.
Hollyoaks star Gary surprised fans when he announced the former couple are expecting a girl while Laura remained silent.
Gary’s Instagram post, which saw the star sharing a ‘daddy’s girl’ graphic, has attracted a negative reaction from his ex’s furious followers.
He has since turned off the comments, but failed to delete the announcement.
Laura hasn’t spoken out about the matter, but took to social media to post a video of people falling over but getting back up again.
Written over the top clip it read: “How I’m handling anything unexpected this year.”
A source told The Sun: “Gary announced the gender news without getting Laura’s consent.
“She’s really upset by this”.
Earlier this month Laura told fans she and Gary, 41, are “definitely not” on good terms following their split.
