‘For once in my life I want to be selfish'

Laura Anderson is in Dubai when we call her for a catch-up. “I’m just by the pool,” the former Love Island star tells us. “I made the last-minute decision to come and see my sister who lives here.”

Laura’s well-needed holiday comes just weeks after her break-up from fitness coach Tom Brazier, who she met during the lockdown. The pair called it quits ahead of Laura moving back to Scotland in September, with Tom initially planning to go with her.

Taking to Instagram Stories to announce the split, Laura wrote at the time, “Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out between us. In respect of Tom’s privacy, I won’t be discussing this further. All my love to him and you all for your continued support.”

In our chat she tells us it was her decision to end things – admitting she wants to be “selfish”. “I’m quite happy,” she says. “I’ve got my friends and family around me. It’s not like I’m saying I don’t need him now, I just want to do my own thing.”

Since her break-up from hunky Tom, Laura is said to have “grown more romantic” with Love Island pal Jack Fincham. Much to our disappointment, she isn’t willing to talk about the rumors that they’re more than friends when we go back to her for further comment.

But the 31-year-old is in good spirits as she opens up about love in general and her plans to forge a radio presenting career.

Here, Laura lifts the lid on staying civil with her ex and hitting back at online trolls…

Hi Laura! What happened between you and Tom?
