Lauren Goodger ‘moves into a new home for a fresh start’ after daughter’s death, assault and split with Charles Drury

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."

Drury was released on bail following claims he had attacked Lauren at her home just hours after they buried their daughter Lorena on 5 August.

Lauren, 35, was later seen with a black eye as she ran errands in Essex, and as she attended the funeral of ex-boyfriend Jake McLean on Tuesday.

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.”

A source added: “Everyone who knows her is so upset. She was already at absolute rock bottom.”

Prior to the incident Lauren had been grieving the loss of her daughter Lorena.

Ten doctors tried in vain to save the 9lb baby who had a strong heartbeat before Lauren’s contractions began.

She was born with two knots in her umbilical cord which was tied around her neck.
