Both Lauren and Charles have famous exes, with Lauren’s past relationships being very well documented.
She burst into the spotlight while in an on-off relationship with fellow TOWIE star Mark Wright, though they split up and he is now married to Michelle Keegan.
Since then, Lauren has had a tricky love life, with her “jumping straight into a relationship” with Jake McLean, though they split after four years in May 2016.

Things didn’t get any better for Lauren, as she ended up falling for Joey Morrison after speaking to him on the phone while he was in prison.
After he left prison, he and Lauren broke up in 2018 after two years together.
Meanwhile, Charles Drury was unheard of until a couple of years ago, when it was revealed he had enjoyed a short-lived fling with Katie Price back in 2019.

Lauren got tongues wagging that she was dating Katie Price’s ex Charles in October 2020.
The brunette bombshell teased a mystery man on her social media, sharing a snap of him in front of a mirror but hiding his face with a loved-up emoji.
But it didn’t take long for eagle-eyed fans to uncover his identity, with Charles dropping his own hint after using the same song as Lauren had on his Instagram story.
Later though, Lauren seemingly confirmed she and Charles were more than just friends as she labelled him her “morning workout” – so make of that what you will.
Moving fast

Lauren moved him into her Essex home just weeks after they met and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
They regularly feature on each other’s Instagram pages in cute loved-up selfies, showing their romance is going as strong as ever – now even more so.

A source previously told Daily Star: “It’s no secret that OnlyFans can be a lucrative business so he’s keen to make as much money as he can – especially in these difficult times.
“Of course how far he is willing to go on camera with other guys will raise a few eyebrows but at the end of the day he simply sees it as a job.”
Future plans

He added: “I think I’ll be keeping Lauren Goodger around me for a very long time.”
