Lauren Goodger emotionally paid tribute to her late daughter to mark the first Mother's Day since her passing.

The former TOWIE star, 36, welcomed her second child with ex-boyfriend Charles Drury into the world last year, but baby Lorena sadly died minutes after being born.

Taking to Instagram today, Lauren shared an image of her late daughter lying in a cot, with her face blurred in the photograph, as a picture of 20-month-old Larose displayed on a phone screen was held next to her.

Lauren captioned the moving shot: "Thank you for giving me the best gift and all I’ve ever wanted is to be your “mummy”I love you both to the moon and back and this morning has touched me so deep I wish you was with us my gorgeous Lorena

"Happy Mother’s Day everyone just cuddles is all you need today

Lauren has suffered multiple tragic ordeals over recent months, most heartbreaking of all watching her second daughter Lorena die in hospital on July 8 - just weeks after she discovered ex-boyfriend Jake McLean had died following a car crash in Turkey.

The reality TV star has since explained how doctors battled to save 9lb baby Lorena but she sadly passed away just minutes after she was born.

"They think her oxygen may have been restricted. That is why I am having an autopsy," Lauren explained from her Essex home last month. "I need to understand how she died for my own sanity."

Lauren went on to put on a brave face for eldest daughter Larose's first birthday just weeks after the death of her second child, as she opened up about the traumatic experience of losing her baby just moments after giving birth.

"Lorena was a healthy baby and it was a textbook pregnancy," a grieving Lauren explained to The Sun from her Essex home last month. "They think her oxygen may have been restricted because she had two knots in her cord but normally babies can still get enough oxygen despite this."
