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.
In order to prepare for her on-screen return, Lauren has been showing off the result of a bum-firming treatment that left fans accusing her of getting fillers.
She has also been putting the hours in at the gym in order to slim down her curvy figure - after paparazzi photographs caught her from several less-than-flattering angles.
However, Lauren has responded by posting pictures of her gym workouts and insisted that her 'bubble butt' was all natural - though has had firming treatment.
Next to a previous gym selfie she wrote: "I've been training extremely hard and I nearly feel as amazing as I did on my DVD... not long now."
The beauty clinic where Lauren had her recent treatment, which costs £60 per session, describes the non-surgical procedure as "perfect for tightening lax skin (face and body), cellulite reduction and [aiding] in inch loss".
Watch the scenes unfold in The Only Way is Essex, Sundays and Wednesdays at 9pm on ITVBe.
