Lauren Goodger ‘moves into a new home for a fresh start’ after daughter’s death, assault and split with Charles Drury
LAUREN Goodger has reportedly moved home following her recent family tragedy and split with Charles Drury.
The builder, 25, was arrested over an alleged assault on the former Towie star weeks after the death of their newborn daughter Lorena.
A source told Lauren's one-year-old daughter Larose has been "giving her the strength to carry on."
They added: "She's been incredibly brave considering everything that she's been through over the last few weeks.
"It's been the scariest time of her life. But Larose is her priority and she's like a lioness around her.
"She's moving into a new house and having a fresh start. Her old apartment holds too many bad memories so this will definitely feel like an escape."

Onlookers said Lauren, who has a year-old daughter, appeared to be trying to “get back to normal”.
One said: “She’s a working mum and life has to continue. You could see her black eye very clearly.”
