Lauren Goodger shot to fame when she first appeared on ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex back in 2010.
Despite her only starring in the hit reality series for six series spanned across two years, she became an iconic cast member.
During her time on TOWIE, Lauren was famously linked to Mark Wright – with the couple enduring lots of drama and heartbreak throughout their relationship which was documented throughout the series.

Since appearing on TOWIE Lauren has enjoyed a successful career on TV with the now 36-year-old popping up on Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Big Brother in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

The TOWIE original, who turns 36 today (September 19), has endured a tough few months recently.
Lauren’s second daughter Lorena passed away shortly after she was born, leaving her broken in July earlier this year.
Not only this, but her boyfriend Charles Drury was arrested following an alleged assault on the night of their baby’s funeral in August.
And as well as all of the above, Lauren has been dealing with the loss of her ex-boyfriend Jake McLean who died in a horror car crash in Turkey in the summer.
The TOWIE days

Lauren looks almost unrecognisable during her TOWIE days.
With a tanned complexion and light brunette hair, the stunning TV personality looks so different in this photo to how she looks today.
The TOWIE babe can be seen sporting noticeably thinner lips and eyebrows in this photo from the opening of the showroom of Emmy Collins in late November 2010.
Looking far more natural than she appears today, Lauren donned a leopard print minidress, a faux fur coat and a clutch bag.
Beaming for the paparazzi, the former TOWIE star looked full of contentment as she grinned in the street snap.
The star also had a £4k nose job to fix a bump caused by an accident with her nephew, and she said at the time: “n TV, from certain angles, my nose would look really awful and the more I watched the shows, the more of a complex I would get about my appearance.”
Life after TOWIE
With lighter hair and plumper lips, Lauren started to fine-tune her look in 2011.
Attending the UK premiere of Real Steel at Empire Leicester Square, the beautiful TV star showed off her sensational curves.
In the snaps she could be seen donning a slinky grey body contouring dress, black peep-toe heels and black clutch.
Standing with her hand on her hip, Lauren looked incredible as her blonder locks swirled around her in the glam snap.

One year on Lauren’s hair looked even more lighter, with her lips noticeably plumper too.
Papped in a car outside of the Arts Club in London, Lauren donned a navy blue maxi dress with an ornate chain design adorning it.
She wore her hair straightened and cascading over her shoulders as she sat in the backseat of a car.
In addition to her lips looking plumped up, Lauren’s cheeks appeared more round too.
Looking younger than ever

Showing her fans that ageing backwards is a thing, Lauren looked glamorous and incredibly cheery when she stepped out in 2015.
Wearing a teeny playsuit, the trimmed down star showed off her svelte figure and huge grin as she went about her business.
Lauren’s figure appears to have changed in this snap since her TOWIE days, with the star’s legs looking more slender and her chest looking more pert.

In recent years Lauren looks worlds away from how she did when she starred in The Only Way Is Essex.
Turning her back on blonde hair and highlights, the much-loved star can now be seen with a deep and dark brunette head of hair with a hint of balayage.
Lauren’s brows are thicker and darker than ever thanks to the changing times that has seen thin brows go out of fashion.
Her lips also look plumper than ever, with her face shape appearing more chiselled and complexion more clear.
It’s safe to say that Lauren is totally ageless and constantly a beautiful person – inside and out.
