Breaks ups are hard. So when Laura Anderson of Love Island 2018 announced she was going on Celebs Go Dating to sun it up in Paphos, Cyprus shortly after her split from boyfriend of five-years Dane Bowers, we we’re here for it.
And as season eleven of Celebs Go Dating is due to grace our screens in 2023, it seems Laura may well be watching it from the sofa with her new fella - noughties soap opera heartthrob, Gary Lucy.
After meeting on the show, Laura’s posted a steamy snap - quite literally steamy as it looks as though it’s taken through a pair of fogged up glasses – of herself sitting on the EastEnders star's lap, snogging in the back of a taxi.
It’s Insta-official, guys.
Some of us are old enough to remember the Gary Lucy calendar from back in the day. But for those who don’t, we’ll save you a trip to Wikipedia’s personal section with all the good goss.
How old is Gary Lucy?
Gary is born on November 27 1981, making him 40.
Was Gary Lucy on EastEnders?
Gary played Danny Pennant in EastEnders from 2012-2014. His main storylines involved him stealing money from Syed Masood before trying to kiss him, even though Syed was in love with Christian Clarke. The drama resulted with Christian punching Danny.
Classic EastEnders.
Danny also slept with and stole from Janine Butcher, dated Lucy Beale and seduced Johnny Carter while spying on him using an internet dating site. Quite the swindler, Danny.
After getting ruled out of the Lucy Beale murder investigation (spoiler: it was Bobby), he left Albert Square for Marbella with a handful of Janine's money in tow.

Gary played Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks from 1999-2002, and returned from 2017-2022.
Luke was a Hollyoaks hottie when he arrived to the village – with both the locals and the public crushing on him – and he soon started dating Mandy Richardson.
In 2000 he was involved in a heartbreaking storyline after he was raped by Mark Gibbs following a long period of bullying. After sending his rapist to jail, Luke left Chester but returned fifteen years later with Mandy by his side.
In 2019, Luke was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and in 2022 he fell off a cliff and tragically died.
