Craig Lawsons mum has shared a clip online of the Love Island contestant telling his kids hes arrived at the ITV2 villa.

The contestant was previously branded an absolute joke by his ex-fiancee Sian Dilley, claiming he didnt tell his children that he was heading into the ITV2 dating show.

While Craigs sister has since hit back at the claims saying hes an amazing father, now his mother has shared a clip seemingly telling his kids of his whereabouts.

Sue Bird posted the heartbreaking footage on Facebook, with the caption: Daddy we really love the video we are so proud of you Dya know what I mean xx.

In the video, Craig says: Alright boys. If youre watching this then obviously youve seen Im on Love Island now.

I wanted to tell you before but I couldnt, everything had to be kept really quiet. I just want you to know that I really wanted to tell you.

I love you. Im doing this for us so that we have a better future. I hope youre proud of me.

I hope you see it laugh, see me having fun and I hope you enjoy it and Ill see you when I get back. Love you.

Craigs ex previously stated: The bloke is an absolute joke. Hes left 3 children behind all who were excited at the thought of spending time with their daddy this weekend and he didnt even have the decency to tell them what he was doing and that he wont be seeing them.

He is dead to me and he is dead to my son. He has not even had the decency to contact me regarding this and regarding arrangements for my son.

Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
