GARY Lucy has hit back at a troll who slammed him for “never seeing” his daughter Bonnie in a new video.
The former Hollyoaks star, who shares 11-month-old Bonnie with Love Island ex Laura Anderson, shared a sweet clip of him enjoying some quality time with his kids.

As well as Bonnie, Gary, 42, has four other children. Two daughters and two sons with ex Emmerdale star Natasha Gray.
They are parents to daughter India, born 2005, Elvis, born 2011, Sadie, who arrived in 2015, and Theodore, born 2018.
On Sunday, Gary posted a clip of his older kids playing with their adorable baby sister and singing rhymes to her.
Doting brother Theodore was seen tenderly rocking Bonnie in her car seat and lovingly rubbing her cheek.
Gary captioned the heartwarming video: “When Theodore got to be the big Brother for the day …. If this doesn’t melt your heart I don’t know what will.”
But one follower was quick to take aim at Gary as they questioned how much contact he has with his baby girl.
They cruelly commented: “Funny you keep posting videos but never see her.”
Gary was quick to hit back and said: “Funny for you maybe. Just like you’re opinion, you’re irrelevant.”
The soap star’s fans defended him, with one writing: “Not a fair comment really is it. We don’t know anything about their lives or what goes on. It’s no one else’s business.”
A second said: “You don’t know the circumstances of their relationship and the ins and outs. He’s a great dad to his other kids but you don’t question that. There’s honestly no need for your comment.”
In June, Scottish star Laura claimed Gary hadn’t seen their daughter for six months.
The 35-year-old made the shock allegation as she hit back at a troll, who questioned if Bonnie, nine months, ever sees her dad.
Laura told them: “Do you mean has her daddy seen her….No he hasn’t since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others x”
At the time, a rep for Gary declined to comment.
The reality TV favourite and Hollyoaks star met and fell in love on Celebs Go Dating and after a whirlwind romance announced they were expecting.
However they called time on things shortly after sharing the news, reunited and then split again.
They sparked rumours it was back on over Christmas time as they spent time together, but Gary has not been seen on social media with his daughter since.
Following their split, Laura insisted to Closer magazine: “It’s early days but I’m trying to focus on her, rather than myself.
“I think putting your personal feelings aside and speaking to the person as a friend rather than your ex helps.
“It’s going to be a journey as she’s only a baby and this is all new to me, but I try to include Gary as much as I can. She has two parents and I want her to know that I always put her first.”
But Laura, who lives in Scotland, and Gary, who is based in Essex, later admitted that things had turned frosty and took a swipe at her ex for his alleged lack of effort.
Suggesting he wasn’t paying anything towards her upbringing, she wrote: “Why do guys get away with whatever they want it’s mental. Imagine I didn’t pay for Bonnie’s food, nappies, clothes etc etc etc etc etc.”
Laura continued: “I just think people should be held accountable for their actions for once in their lives and I wouldn’t be my true self if I sat back any longer and took all the crap, it’s very damaging. Only love x”
Alongside another comment she then put: “I did everything I could do to make my family work, fool me.
“There’s no cryptic posts anymore I’m fed up hiding the truth. Is what it is.”
Despite the fallout, earlier this month Laura insisted she’ll “always respect” her ex.
She told fans: “No matter what Gary has done and not done I will always respect him as Bonnie’s father and I hope one day he is capable of being the father she deserves.”
She added: “Until then I’ve got this.”
