Almost a decade after she shot to fame on TOWIE with then-boyfriend Mark Wright, it’s thought that Lauren Goodger is planning a huge comeback to the show that catapulted her into the limelight.
Lauren was a member of the show’s original cast when the show began in 2010 but departed in the sixth series.
She’s since made a number of guest appearances but it’s now been claimed that Lauren is ready to make a full-time return.

“Lauren is in talks to make a sensational TOWIE comeback,” a source told The Sunday Mirror.
“She’s got a few more weeks filming Celebs Go Dating and will then rejoin the hit ITVBe show full-time if the storyline is right.”
Although she’s currently filming for the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating alongside Lee Ryan and Love Island stars Megan Barton-Hanson and Jack Fincham, and even recently hinted that she’s dating one of her co-stars, the source added that Lauren ‘doesn’t feel like she needs a man’ and instead wants to focus her career.

Maria, on the left with Joey Essex and Chloe Sims in 2011, was in the show from the get-go but her TV career was rocked when it was alleged she'd worked as an escort. She's since said she quit 'by mutual consent' after she refused an on-screen romance with Mick Norcross.

Dan Osborne, series 8 - 14

Amber was part of a mega cull of seven Towie characters in January 2018. She claimed that she and her boyfriend Chris Clark were cut because they were happy. They've now split and Chris has reappeared on the show.

Amber Dowding, 2018
If Amber's social media is anything to go by, she now appears to mostly be on holiday. Pretty goals from where we're sitting.

Mike Hassini, series 16 - 18 and 21
Mike Hassini brought a hot bod to TOWIE and...not much else. He was cut in January 2018 due to a lack of storylines as he was loved-up outside the telly show.

Mike Hassini, 2018
Mike is working as a PT, still loved-up, and still has a very hot bod. Blimey.

Jack Rigden, series 20 - 21
Jack Rigden tried hard, so hard, to make an impression on Towie but his lack of on-screen romance and agg saw him get very little camera time. He was part of the big cull of January 2018.

Ricky Rayment, series 4 - 14
We still think very fondly of Ricky. His rocky relationship with Jess Wright was a huge part of the show but when they finally broke up, well... Ricky left the show "by mutual agreement"with Towie bosses.

Ricky now seems to mainly go fishing.

Tom Pearce, series 5 - 13
Remember when Tom Pearce dated Lauren Goodger following her split from Mark Wright? That was an odd time. He was quietly shown the back doorof the show in 2014.
![Tom Pearce, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/43d0/108d/e907/19cd/b824/tom%20pearce%20insta.png?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Tom Pearce, 2018
Honestly? We're not 100% sure what Tom is actually doing these days. He used to work in the City, and his holidays certainly look pretty epic, so maybe that.

Grace Andrews, series 11 - 12
Grace almost had a romantic relationship with Lewis Bloor (shudder) and that was the beginning and end of her time on Towie.

Grace Andrews, 2018
Grace is now involved in a semi-permanent make-up company. Those Towie stars must really hate cleanser.

Fran Parman, series 11 - 16
Fran's original romantic interest was Tom Pearce but he stepped aside to allow Diags to woo her. Bad luck. Their relationship was turbulent but apparently not turbulent enough for show producers. Diags stayed, she went.

Fran Parman, 2018
Fran and Diags split and she now hangs out in clothing that does not look very practical.

Jasmin Walia, series 1 and 7-17
Jasmin managed eight series until she was given the boot. In 2015 her agent stated: "TOWIE is very storyline dependent and Jasmin did not have much going on that we could show on screen."Ouch. She went on to audition for The X Factor. It did not go well. She also took part in reality show Desi Rascals, that lasted for one series.

Jasmin Walia, 2018
Jasmin is still being papped, which is more than can be said for some of the other ex-Towie stars.

Harry Derbridge, series 1- 3 and 12
Harry Derbridge was a Towie original and still holds a very special place in our hearts. He made a welcome return to the show as Bobby Norris's love interest but, allegedly, cheated on him.

Harry now works it as a make-up artist. Is it us, or does he look like he might have had a little help with lip fillers?

Lauren Goodger, series one - six, 16 and 19
Remember when Lauren looked like this? She was a TOWIE OG and her on / off relationship with Mark Wright, including getting engaged in a car park, was the stuff of reality TV dreams.

Lauren is still much loved by the public although her recent porn admission made some fans' jaws drop.

Pascal Craymer, 2013
Pascal Cramer walked into TOWIE series ten as the new squeeze of Mario Falcone. Sadly, Mario still had the hots for his former flame Lucy Mecklenburgh. Pascal found out when she watched the episode in which Mario admitted his feelings for Lucy. AWKWARD.

Pascal Craymer, 2018
Pascal recently dated king of the jungle trouser snake Nick Knowles although they split before he entered I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! We do not believe that is a real guitar.
They added: “Lauren wants to return to show viewers she has long since moved on from Mark Wright and her jailbird ex Joey [Morrison].
“She’s in a really great place and wants to get her career back on track.
“Even though she’s on Celebs Go Dating, it is the first time in her life she doesn’t feel like she needs a man.
“She wants to focus on herself and her career."

The source went on to add that with none of TOWIE’s original cast members currently appearing on the show, Lauren’s return could be a big success with viewers.
They said: “She’d be a huge hit as they have none of the original cast on the show.
“Chloe Sims and Gemma Collins both joined in the second series and James ‘Arg’ Argent is still on an extended break."
