Love Island star Laura Anderson used to date rugby star Max Evans before he dumped her for an actress, it has been claimed.

Air hostess Laura is one of the 11 singletons looking for love under the Majorcan sun and is currently coupled up with Wes Nelson.

The 29-year-old has previously alluded to her past romance in the villa, saying: “He played international rugby. I think he married the girl he cheated on me with.”

And, according to The Sun, the man Laura was talking about is former Dancing On Ice star and sporting ace Max Evans.

An insider told them: “Laura was devastated when Max abruptly left her for Katy and it took her a lot of time to get over it. But it was a long time ago now and he’s firmly in her past.
