Reality TV star Lauren Goodger turned heads during filming for The Only Way Is Essex this week as she stepped out in leopard print hotpants for a pub scene in Romford.
The 38-year-old looked relaxed and cheerful as she joined her co-stars at Sir Henrys Pub, enjoying the sunshine and the lively atmosphere.
A Day of Filming at the Pub
Lauren styled her satin shorts with a sleek high-neck black vest and chunky sandals, finishing the look with a suede Chanel handbag and stacked gold bangles.
She happily posed for pictures with co-star Saffron Lempriere, 33, who opted for a chic brown co-ord and Louis Vuitton sandals.
Ella Rae Wise, 25, also brought a splash of colour in a bright yellow playsuit with a halter neckline.
The cast appeared in high spirits, which made a refreshing change from the explosive drama that played out in the most recent TOWIE episode.
From On-Screen Drama to Real-Life Friendships
Fans will remember that the last episode saw the group on a disastrous holiday, where tensions boiled over into shouting matches, tears, and even one dramatic walk-out.
Much of the conflict stemmed from Freddie Bentley’s frustration over Harry Derbidge not supporting Ella during her Celebrity Big Brother stint earlier this year.
The fallout triggered arguments between Freddie, Ella, Jordan Brook, Sophie Kasaei, and eventually Saffron and Chloe Meadows.
Interestingly, while others were caught in the chaos, Lauren has managed to steer clear of the heated rows, keeping her focus on filming and her personal journey.
Lauren Opens Up About Cosmetic Surgery Regrets
Off-screen, Lauren has been candid about her struggles with cosmetic surgery.
She revealed she plans to take a break from filming later this year to have her breast and bum implants removed.
Speaking openly, she admitted she now feels her body looks “abnormal” because of past procedures.
“I’ve ruined my looks with surgery,” Lauren shared.
“I hate my fake boobs and bum now. They just make me look bigger than I actually am.”
She explained that when she looks in the mirror, she only sees “lumps and bumps,” and longs to return to a more natural appearance.
A Big Step Towards Change
Back in May, Lauren revealed that her implants feel “heavy” and has described her pre-surgery body as “perfect” compared to how she feels now.
After years of hesitation, she has finally found the courage to move forward with surgery reversal.
“I was terrified of getting it done, which is why I delayed it,” she admitted.
“But now I know I want them out because it will transform me. It’s not even about weight—it’s about my boobs and bum.
If I could get rid of them, I’d feel and look so much better.”
