How old is Love Island's Laura Anderson?

Glamorous former trolley dolly Laura is 29 years old - which originally made her the oldest contestant in the villa.

The former flight attendant was hit the headlines after cruel trolls claim she lied about her age.

Some viewers blasted the former air stewardess's claim that she was the tender age of 29, however, her birth certificate revealed that she wasn't lying about her age. 

She was the oldest Islander in the villa until Paul Knops, aged 31, joined the show.
