The heartbreaking reason former Bachelor star Laura Calleri has been silent on social media

Bachelor star Laura Calleri returned to Instagram on Monday after taking a 13-day break from the social media platform.

Addressing her absence on her Instagram stories, the 24-year-old revealed she has been suffering bad anxiety after a short stint on the Channel 10 dating show earlier this year.

‘Haven’t been overly active on social since the show aired as my anxiety is the worst it’s ever been,’ she wrote.

Laura continued: ‘The love on my latest pic reminded me that this can still be a somewhat safe space. So, thank you.’

The stunning brunette went on to tell her followers that she wants to use her new platform to share advice.

‘I want to do something a bit more tho. Like anxiety advice with my sass on the side? I dunno.’

On Sunday, Laura uploaded her first post in almost two weeks, a series of photos alongside Bachelor star Locky Gilbert and winner, Irena Srbinovska.

Despite getting rejected on the show, Laura proved she could still be friends with the couple, embracing Irena and Locky while posing for a photo together.   

‘Sorry Irena, can I just grab Locky for a chat?’ Laura hilariously captioned the post.

In one photo, Laura, dressed in a white frock, slotted herself in between the couple, as Locky, 31, planted a kiss on her head and Irena, 31, beamed for the camera.

While in the second, Laura rested her head against Locky’s chest, closing her eyes. 

Laura was eliminated seven episodes into the reality dating show, having failed to find a connection with Locky.
