The former Love Island star, 34, shared a statement with her 1.5million followers admitting she feels like she is ‘moving backwards’
‘Bonnie has been waking in the night again and not eating or having her bedtime bottle. I feel like we’re moving backwards at the minute, she’s changing so quickly but I can’t seem to keep up my end.
‘Hopefully just a little disconnect. I thought I’d been nailing each each step so far but hey ho it’s not supposed to be easy. I just like to be good at everything but this isn’t about me and she is doing absolutely fine. Patience is a virtue.’
It comes after Laura confirmed she is ‘happily single’ after fans were left guessing over the state of her relationship with Gary.
It was believed the pair were back together after they shared a post kissing on New Year’s Eve.
Yet Laura revealed that wasn’t the case anymore as she stripped down to a sexy lace lingerie set for a series of racy snaps five months after welcoming her first child.
Laura revealed that it is the ‘first time’ she has slipped into ‘sexy undies’ since welcoming her daughter Bonnie Rose, who she shares with ex Gary.
She penned: ‘First time in sexy undies since pushing B out my V.
‘*Disclaimer (before any hate) I wasn’t sure whether I was comfortable sharing these images on here as sometimes it’s nerve-racking posting these sort of pics especially after giving birth.

‘What is the right post partum body YOURS. Anyway I admit usually when I see others sharing provocative shots I think oh…that girl must be ‘thirsty’ but, it’s not right to judge and it’s positive to feel sexy as a women, especially on a day where we are celebrating all kinds of love.
‘I’d just like to say also (before any reprint of these images) I am very content, happily single and fully hydrated. So a huge Happy Galentines Day when it comes to all the women in my life’.
The snaps come after Laura’s on/off ex Gary fuelled rumours they had split after he was seen cosying up to a mystery woman at a party last month.
The Hollyoaks actor, who shares daughter Bonnie with Love Island star Laura, enjoyed the VIP launch of Gilgamesh on St Martin’s Lane London.
Making the most of the party atmosphere at the restaurant, Gary, 42, was seen getting close to a mystery beauty.
‘Gary looked very cosy with a girl at the table and was whispering in her ear. He was clearly here for a fun night and didn’t care who was watching,’ a source told .
Meanwhile Laura was busy posting videos and photos from her day with their baby girl.
Laura and Gary confirmed their romance was back on as they shared a New Year’s Eve kiss together after months of speculation.
Gary took to his Instagram stories on December 31 to post a video with Laura and their baby as he kissed his partner passionately on the lips.
Smiling in the clip as Better Together by Jack Johnson played in the background, the actor kissed Laura on the cheek, before she returned the gesture while beaming from ear-to-ear.
