True love: The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger insisted her love for fiancé Mark Wright is the real thing after posting a picture of the couple on Twitter


Lauren Goodger has come forward to insist her engagement to Mark Wright is the real thing, and their relationship is 'true love'.

The Only Way Is Essex star has been forced to contend with reports that Mark's proposal, which featured on the ITV2 show, was solely for the programme and claims the pair have already filmed their break-up.

However, Lauren says she has no intention of ever splitting from promoter Mark, and forsees a happy future for the couple.


She said: 'We've got an amazing future and I'm really happy. We've shown everyone for real that it's me he wants. It's true love.

'Mark would never propose just for the show. Now we're back together and people think "poor Lauren", that he's cheated. But actually he hasn't. We have great banter and we love all the same things. We're just right for each other.'

And Lauren also spoke about reports Mark hasn't fully left his playboy past behind him, insisting her fiancé would never cheat on her.

She said: 'It's easy for people to get confused about who he's seeing and who he isn't

'But as far as I know, when he's seeing these other girls, we've broken up. I don't think Mark is a cheater, I think we have just broken up a lot.'

However, things aren't always so smooth for the couple, as Lauren was seen launching an attack on last night's episode after Mark asked ex Sam Faiers to work with him on his new modelling agency.

Threatening to miss her and Mark's engagement party after hearing about Mark and Sam's lunch through Amy Childs' salon employee Paloma, Lauren eventually turned up at the event, although warned Mark, 'I've not forgotten about what happened.'

But later on, Mark proved his love for Lauren as he broke down during an emotional speech at the engagement party.

Attempting to tell his family and friends exactly how he feels about his fiancée, Mark ended up in tears, before admitting to the crowd: 'I don't know what's going on, why am I getting emotional?'

However, his rare public display of affection was enough for Lauren, who quickly bounded up on stage and gave her man a hug.

Lauren and Mark will have to contend with disapproval from Mark's family before they get married, as Mark's mother admitted at the party she wouldn't believe the pair will wed until they walk down the aisle.

Lauren, 24, also spoke about her battle with her weight ahead of her wedding day, saying she is struggling to maintain her newly-slim figure after shedding the pounds.

She told the Daily Star: 'I'm one of those people who loses weight quickly but puts it on just as quickly. If I train and eat healthily you can notice, but if I drink and eat rubbish you notice.

'I'm being healthy now though, so I'm much more toned and I feel so much more confident in a bikini.'

Not ready for her close up: The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger steps out make-up free

By Daily Mail Reporter


Natural: The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger is spotted without a scrap of make-up today


The golden rule of Essex - if the cast of the show based on some of its inhabitants are to believed - is to never step out of the house without fake tan, fake eyelashes and fake nails in place.

But star of The Only Way Is Essex Lauren Goodger appeared to break the style laws of Brentwood today when she stepped out today without a scrap of make-up.

The 23-year-old looked tired and dishevelled as she left fiancé Mark Wright's house to prepare for a day of filming for the ITV2 show.


Wearing a tight black top, Lauren was pale-faced without her usual heavy make-up, as she got into her car.

Her downcast appearance could be down to the reality star feeling unwell. She tweeted last night: 'Been filming with bad bad flu was hard 2day and yesterday I cant wait 2 shift this!!! 7.30am start 2moro.'

Or perhaps the ending of last night's episode left a sour taste in her mouth, as it showed Mark, 23, watching - somewhat creepily - as his former love interest Sam had a steamy kiss with another cast member Joey in the pool after a party.

Despite Mark telling Sam in the first episode of season two that he was moving on from her in order to 'make a go of things' with Lauren, he appeared forlorn as he watched her move on too.

Pictures also emerged of Mark yesterday on a beach in Miami ogling scantily-clad sunbathers.

Lauren was scheduled to appear at a book signing with other members of the cast this afternoon at Lakeside shopping centre, but had to pull out when she was told she had to film all day.

Jessica Wright, Lydia Bright, Lauren Pope and Kirk Norcross will be greeting fans and signing copies of their book, The Official Guide to Living Life the Essex Way, but the show's main stars Mark, Sam and Amy are not expected to attend.

In last night's episode of the show viewers saw Lauren and Mark visit dog kennels in search of a new puppy.

Lauren was filmed telling an unenthusiastic Mark that he either had to give her 'a dog or a baby.'

But no decisions were made as both appeared terrified of even the smallest of puppies.
