Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has fled Dubai with her daughter Bonnie amid escalating conflict in the region. The 36-year-old reality TV star had flown to the UAE shortly before missile attacks were reported, but has now secured a flight back to Scotland.
Before leaving, Anderson shared a sweet moment with her two-year-old daughter playing in her sister's garden. In an Instagram Story, she captioned the video: 'Ventured outside to my sister's garden for half an hour before we leave. Appreciate this moment so much had to share.'
Anderson later updated followers, saying: 'Bonnie and I are hoping to get home today.' She advised others in similar situations to contact their flight organisers, adding: 'We obviously have been lucky ours is going ahead so far.'
The attacks followed US President Donald Trump announcing 'major combat operations' in Iran, with Israel launching a 'preventative attack'. Iran retaliated by striking Israel and US military targets across the Middle East, including explosions reported in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The Foreign Office urged UK nationals in the region to take shelter. Anderson had earlier posted a snap at Glasgow Airport before the trip turned into a nightmare.
