Laura Anderson has opened up about how Christmas is ‘tricky and emotional’ for her blended family.
The Love Island star, 36, is dating Dundee footballer Clark Robertson, and said the couple will spend Christmas this year at his parents home in the north of Scotland.
Laura shares Bonnie, two, with her ex and former Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy, 43, while Clark, 32, has two children with his ex-partner.
Speaking to The Sun, she admitted: ‘Christmas time…Can be an emotional, tricky time. I think blended families sort of bring hardship.’
‘It’s not really something that I expected or had ever dealt with before. You have a child and then you meet someone and then they have kids…And actually, it’s not always plain sailing.’

Laura went on to say her relationship with Clark is going from strength to strength as they couldn’t be happier.
‘But we’re really strong and we’re doing better than ever really. So it’ll be nice to have the kids together around Christmas time because they get on really well.’
She continued to gush about her partner, saying she is grateful to be with such a supportive father.
The star, who was recently spotted with wearing a huge dazzling ring on her engagement finger at the Pride Of Britain Awards in October, previously opened up to Daily Mail about family life.
She said: ‘I am so happy with family life… Who knows what next for me, maybe another baby and you know what I need to change my ring on my hands, this isn’t an engagement ring, but I am happy with family life.
‘We went to Paris recently and everyone was messaging me like, “are you going to get engaged”, and then we ended up witnessing a proposal but it wasn’t mine.
‘But when it’s meant to be, maybe somewhere other than the city of love though.’
Laura and Clark, who plays for Premiership club Dundee, went public with their relationship last October and have been going from strength-to-strength in their romance.

Earlier this year, the TV star revealed she loves being a WAG as she gushed that she finds watching her footballer boyfriend ‘very sexy’.
She admitted she used to ‘hate’ watching the sport before finding love with Clark and learning the rules.
Laura previously told The Sun: ‘I guess I’m a WAG now, I actually really like football, I didn’t really like it before.
‘To be honest, it just reminded me of my dad hogging the remote when we were young and I never got to watch what I wanted to watch.
‘But now I like going to the games – I think he looks very sexy actually because he’s quite bossy on the pitch and he’s not like that day-to-day, he’s such a relaxed, chilled out guy, so on the pitch he’s always pointing and I’m like ”what the hell what’s going on?”
