Lauren Goodger has worked hard to transform her body, overhauling her diet and swapping wild nights out for daily gym sessions.
But pals say former The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren, 29, is devastated after regaining some of the weight.
After being pictured looking a little curvier last week, the size 10-12 businesswoman, who has been targeted by cruel bullies for her weight, is now putting herself under pressure to rapidly slim down.
Pals say Lauren is in a race to regain her size 8 figure as she’s planning on making a TV comeback in a few months, last week revealing “don’t be surprised if you see me pop up in TOWIE again in the future”.
But sources say Lauren is worried her TV comeback won’t be as huge as she hopes because of the rift with her ex Mark Wright – who she dated for 10 years – may be affecting her success.
A source says: “Lauren’s reached out to Mark a few times, and would love to persuade him to do TOWIE with her and show everyone they’re friends again. It would be the relaunch of her TV comeback. But so far he’s just ignored her.
