Lauren Goodger to return to 'The Only Way Is Essex'

"The Only Way Is Essex" is welcoming back original star Lauren Goodger, who has confirmed she's returning to the show after four years away.
Lauren has long been rumoured to be making a TOWIE comeback, reported Digital Spy.
"I was meant to be doing this series, but I couldn't for personal reasons. But I am doing next series, yes. I'd love to come in as Lauren now, and see who Lauren is. Because no-one actually knows who I actually am," she said.
"I've always been in a drama or a relationship on TV. Now it's about me, I have no drama. I can be one of the girls and be more natural."

Lauren also said that she's spoken to the makers of the show, who told her "the door's always open" to a longer return.
The reality star - who's lost approximately 25 kgs and released a fitness DVD since leaving the ITVBe show - was one of TOWIE's original cast members when it started back in 2010.
She left in 2012, heading on to "Celebrity Big Brother", before a surprise comeback in the 2015 Christmas special.
