Love Island's Laura Anderson shares details of terrifying hospital dash with baby daughter Bonnie
Laura Anderson recently sparked concern among fans when she shared a snap of her baby daughter Bonnie in A&E. The mum-of-one, 34, shared the photo to her Instagram Story with the caption: "A&E with bubba."
At the time she did not share the reason for this hospital dash, but now Laura, who recently started a new role at Scotland Capital Radio, has revealed that she had to rush Bonnie into A&E when she returned home to find the tot had developed a temperature.
The former Love Island star says she knew "straight away" that something wasn't right with Bonnie, and that after calling 111 she took the infant to hospital.
Speaking to MailOnline she said: "I got such a fright because I'd come straight from Capital and I was trialing a nanny so she didn't know her too well and I came in and just looked at her and I thought you're usually so smiley and happy but she didn't really seem herself.
"I just knew straight away and then I picked her up and I felt she was so hot and I took her temperature and it was 39 and the thermometer went red and like flashed like an alarm. I phoned 111 and it said it was temporarily unavailable and I was like, 'oh my god I don't know what to do', so I phoned the children's hospital near me and I said I don't want to be over dramatic and they said come to A&E straight away.'
She continued: 'My heart just sank. I was like, oh I'm not overreacting. I was trying not to be stressed, her temperature had gone down a little bit and they did loads of tests and they had to try and get urine from her, which was a nightmare.
"They got some Calpol in her because she wouldn't take it from me and then I took her to the GP the next day and they just checked her over again because her temperature was still quite high."
She told the outlet that Bonnie, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy, is know on the mend and beginning to feel much better.
Laura's hospital dash comes after she appeared to hit out at Gary, 42, seemingly accusing him of not 'seeing' or 'supporting' Bonnie.
Laura recently shared a sweet video of her supporting Bonnie as she stood up, as she wrote over it: "One moment you're in the trenches of the newborn and postpartum phase. And then suddenly things click with your new little human and you catch yourself wishing time would stand still."
But it was her caption that caught the eye of her fans, as she appeared to throw shade at Gary, writing: "How anyone could go without seeing or supporting their child is beyond me. I love you Bonnie Rose."
Laura further elaborated in the comments of the post as she responded to a fan who asked about her on-off relationship with Gary, answering: "I did everything I could to make my family work, fool me. There's no cryptic posts anyone I'm fed up of hiding the truth. Is what it is."
She then added: "Why do guys get away with whatever they want it's mental. Imagine I didn't pay for Bonnie's food, nappies, clothes etc etc etc."
