00:00 Laura!
00:01 Mummy's first day out!
00:03 I know. Do you know what? I put this in the diary and I was like, I need to get a dress
00:07 and go out. It's only been five weeks.
00:09 I know. I was thinking actually on the way here...
00:12 I'm hiding everything!
00:13 I was thinking on the way here, a year ago, did you think not only am I going to need
00:19 all the things you've done, but you've got a one month old baby.
00:23 No. Mad! How does this happen? Women are amazing, aren't we just?
00:28 Have you surprised yourself with it all?
00:30 Yeah, I feel like at the minute I'm on autopilot with the baby. I'm like holding her, thinking
00:35 about doing the washing and he's just chillax and enjoy and take her in. She's so cute.
00:42 I know she's mine, but she is. Isn't she?
00:45 She is the sweetest little thing. She looks like a teenager.
00:48 She looks like Gary.
00:49 She does. She definitely looks like a Lucy. How's that been? Is she being nice to you?
00:54 Is she supporting you?
00:55 Yeah. The birth, he was amazing. Him and my mum were there and that was... Yeah, I really
01:00 needed that and it was great.
01:03 The video of you panting outside the hospital, was that his doing?
01:07 He was winding me up at that point. He was like, "These aren't even contractions. Just
01:10 you wait." He was right, sweetheart.
01:13 Are you back up in Scotland? Are you happy there?
01:16 Yeah. I mean, I could live anywhere. I'm a free bird. Bonnie's been on her first flight.
01:22 She's only five weeks old. So yeah, the world is our oyster.
01:26 It's so exciting. And how is Bonnie and the name? What was the decision behind that?
01:31 I don't know. I had it for a while and I think because I've got Buddy, the dog, you know,
01:35 B. I just like that it's cute, Scottish and it means beautiful in Scotland. I don't know.
01:42 I just got obsessed with it and I was like, "This has to be her name."
01:44 Oh my god. Bonnie in Scottish is like happy and stuff, right?
01:47 Well, Bonnie means beautiful.
01:49 Does it?
01:50 Yeah.
01:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:52 So you say, "Oh, that Bonnie lass." It means that girl is beautiful.
01:57 And how's Buddy coping?
01:59 I mean, he's a bit jealous. My first born, I'm not sure. He's good with her though. He
02:05 doesn't jump on her. So that's the main thing.
02:08 And what age are you going to let Bonnie look back at your Love Island show?
02:11 Never. Oh my god. Oh yeah, maybe not.
02:15 But you seem like you're in a really good place. I'm so happy for you.
02:17 Yes.
02:18 What's been the hardest thing though?
02:20 I mean, obviously the sleep is hard and just like going to the bathroom, having a shower,
02:28 making a cup of tea.
02:30 You were going to talk about it at some point, but has it been horrible? Are you okay?
02:34 I mean, yeah. I just think women are amazing and it's just never what you expect. Like,
02:39 I got induced because I was late, so it was quite long. A little bit traumatic, but we
02:46 just forget.
02:47 Yeah, and what's next?
02:50 I don't know. I'm just like, it's a lot even being here. I'm thinking like, my mum's fed
02:55 her. I hope she's fine.
02:56 Is she in London?
02:57 Yeah, she's in the hotel.
02:58 Oh, that's so cute.
02:59 We flew down together.
03:00 I love that her first hotel stay is in Mayfair as well.
03:02 I know.
03:03 Obviously.
03:04 She's such a superstar.
03:05 Well, so are you, babe. So proud of you and happy for you.
