Lauren Goodger returns to The Only Way is Essex to help out heartbroken Megan McKenna
The original cast members heads back to Essex - and straight back into the drama!
LAUREN Goodger must feel like she's never been away as she walks straight back into the drama on The Only Way is Essex.
The original cast member makes her return on Sunday night's show to be filled in on the gossip surrounding best mate Megan McKenna's heartbreak over sexter Pete Wicks.
One of her first scene sees the 30-year-old star get an update from Megan during some girl time between the pair and Chloe Simms.
Megan was left heartbroken last episode when it was revealed that her fella Pete had been sexting other girls behind her back.
The 24-year-old was left mortified by the revelations, which came to light after The Sun exclusively revealed his betrayals.
Lauren offers to take on the situation as it becomes harder for Chloe to remain neutral between her two friends.
And it looks like she might have her work cut out for her as Megan has revealed she still loves Pete and he has vowed to do everything in his power in order to win his girlfriend back.
Pete later approaches Chloe Simms for help on tonight's episode - further complicating the situation - before having an awkward run in with Megan's dad at a charity event.
