Lauren Goodger announces TOWIE return date as she teases TV comeback
Lauren Goodger teased her return to The Only Way is Essex.
She first joined in 2010 and left in series six, leaving fans heartbroken. Now, the 37-year-old says she plans to return in February. She's even started thinking about potential storylines, including bringing her daughter Larose on the show.
"Yes," she said when asked if she'd take Larose with her. "And meet up with Amy Childs and go for lunch with the kids!" During her time on the show, Lauren had a rocky journey, including her relationship with ex-boyfriend Mark Wright.

Lauren, who became a mum to Larose in 2021 with her ex-boyfriend Charles Drury, suffered the tragic loss of their second child, Lorena, shortly after birth in July 2022.
Now, she's pouring all her love and attention into raising Larose, calling it the "most amazing and rewarding" job. "I feel alive," she shared. "I don't care about anything else." She told OK! Magazine: "I am absolutely obsessed with her.

"She's beautiful. When she wakes up in the morning, even if it's 5am, I'm like, "Baby, kiss Mummy," and she kisses me. She's so affectionate and so clever. She's not in nursery, but we do a lot of playgroups. I don't have a nanny and have no help at all."
Lauren hinted that she and Charles could have a future together. In November 2021, following allegations that he had cheated on her, they decided to call time on their relationship but they later rekindled their romance in the early stages of 2022 when she fell pregnant again.
On the day of Lorena's funeral, Lauren was allegedly assaulted by Drury, who was later charged. Earlier this year, in July, he pleaded not guilty. The case was subsequently adjourned to a pre-trial hearing in February of next year, with a trial starting one month later.
Following speculation that they are once again back together, Lauren said: "We're not together, we're good friends and we're co-parenting for Larose. We're doing as much as we can together to keep her life normal and that is purely what it is.
"We get on and we've been through so much. I've got a lot of love for him because he is my kid's dad, regardless of whatever happened. I'm trying to do the best I can for Larose, and she loves him. We take her away and do things as a family to keep it normal, but we're not romantically together."
When probed on whether they could get back together, the reality star commented: "Not right now, I don't know what the future holds, I'll always love him. You've got to understand what I've been through – there's that trauma – so it's hard to break away from someone. It's so hard because it’s so wrapped around what happened. I want to get over it and heal, and I look at him as healing things."
A spokesperson for The Metropolitan Police said in July: "A man has appeared in court charged with offences linked to an incident in Upminster. Charles Drury – 25 (25.06.97) of Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire appeared at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 14 June charged with assault (ABH) and engaging in controlling/coercive behaviour. The charges relate to an incident police were called to in Upminster on 4 August 2022. A woman aged in her 30s was treated for facial injuries."
