They branded the critic a ‘mum-shamer’ as they praised Laura for taking some well deserved time for herself.

Firing back once more, Laura commented: ‘No one shames the dads.’

However, the original commenter doubled down, saying: ‘I will if it’s a dad doing it.

‘Shame on Bonnie’s dad, shame on my dad, shame on any dad that treats their kids the way some do. Shame on any sex.

‘And I didn’t say shame on you. Just said you’d ditched the wee babe again.

‘I ain’t ringing the bells like a town crier, just saying bairns been left to someone else to look after while you jet off again!’

Laura later clarified to fans that she had only been away for just four days and had many video calls with her daughter.

The reality star went Instagram official with boyfriend Clark in October last year, sharing an array of loved-up snaps together.

Her new relationship comes after her very public split from ex Gary, 43.

The pair met during Celebs Go Dating in 2022, however, they split shortly before she announced her pregnancy in February 2023.

Laura previously detailed the challenges she’s faced raising Bonnie as a single parent after she and Gary split before she was born.

She told The Mirror: ‘I think it was hard to get my head around initially, it wasn’t what I expected. But that’s the cards I was dealt in the end. Of course, I’m going to make it work for my child, even more so. I feel like I’m a really good mum, to be honest.’

Offering advice to other parents facing the same challenges, she added: ‘Prioritise what you need to do, it’s just me. I have to make it work. I am tired but of course, I’m going to be tired. I’m bringing up a human soul, that’s what I signed up for.’

‘[Bonnie’s] great, your social life does take a little bit of a backseat but most people, your good friends understand that.’

‘Think how many mums out there are struggling with that work-life balance, it’s not just me. It’s so relatable and that’s the best thing about ‘Love Island’, having a social media following, I’ve really understood it more since having a baby. It’s so nice to resonate and it really is a positive place.’

‘It’s just full of mums, it’s not all about ‘you’re trying to look sexy all the time’ because that’s not important.’
