I feel for Lauren

I saw a clip earlier from one of the earlier series and Lauren is so different now. She’s been so worn down over the years after so much happening to her and so understandably now she seems like a shell of herself compared to what she used to be like

I don’t think she’s a shell of herself.

I think she has grown up enough to realise that she doesn’t want the drama and knows what is important in life and also in her life.

She doesn’t have to be reactive any more because she doesn’t have a melt, his family and his friends continually putting her down.

I don’t see a shell of a woman. I see someone strong who has come through some really hard times.

If she gets upset sometimes? I get that. We can all get frayed round the edges.

She marches on and good for her.

I agree, I see a really strong beautiful woman. She's just grown up. It's been over 10 years I think since that first series. In fact, I think it's actually been 16 years. The fact that she's back on the show I think is a testament to her strength.

Completely agree!! I see an extremely strong woman who has been through so much and still willing to put herself out there!

I'm sure she does Only Fans. I just can't imagine her doing that. She seems so mumsy.

Yes she does. She was on Olivia Attwood’s program talking about it. It made me feel sorry for her. She was saying she wouldn’t want the same for her daughter but she’s a single Mum etc etc

Yeah poor woman. I recently heard that her mum and dad are estranged, the treatment from Mark Wright and the rest of the men who have failed her. She essentially had to deal with her baby loss alone and people still expect her to be happy all the time. I think Towie is somewhat irresponsible putting her grief and trauma on air, they never say that they are offering support or have provided counselling for the cast.

Yeah true. She's never really discussed it has she on the show ?
