Lauren Goodger’s jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison used to date Towie star Billi Mucklow AND had flings with Danielle Lloyd, Lauren Pope and Bianca Gascoigne

IT HAS been revealed that Lauren Goodger’s jailbird boyfriend has already had a string of celebrity lovers – and was even in a long-term relationship with one before he was banged up.

An insider has revealed to new! magazine that Joey Morrison – currently serving a seventeen-year prison sentence for serious drug related offences – was previously dating Lauren’s Towie co-star Billi Mucklow before going into prison.

Billi, who is now a mum-of-one and engaged to footballer Andy Carroll, was reportedly even dating him at the time he was arrested.

The source said: “Billie and Joey were together for ages and she was quite close to his little girl.”

A rep for Billi refused to comment.

As well as Billi, Joey has also tried his luck with several more reality star ladies – including having a fling with Lauren Pope after meeting at a pool party, trying to woo Danielle Lloyd by getting her backstage tickets to the MOBO Awards in 2007, and dating Bianca Gascoigne.

In a twist to the complicated love life, Bianca has struck up a relationship with Jamie O’Hara in the Celebrity Big Brother house – and his ex-wife is Danielle.

A spokeswoman for Lauren told the mag that she knows about his previous “dalliances” and added: “Lauren and Joey have an honest relationship and they tell each other everything.”

The Towie star, who has the lag’s name tattooed on her wrist, has been posting gushing posts on Instagram for her boyfriend after finally having a date with him while he was on day release.

Morrison and an accomplice, Marvin Russell Jacobs, were handed 16-year prison sentences in March for a string of violent drugs-related charges.

The pair were convicted of a string of offences, including possession of a firearm, and kidnapping.

While she waits for him to get out of prison, she’s revealed that he has her on a strict regime in order to help her lose weight.

Lauren, 30, told  that if Joey had his way “he’d have me locked in a room with a treadmill and feed me water and veg.”

Before adding that Joey, who Lauren has been dating for six months while he’s been behind bars, regularly checks her weight loss progress.

She said: “To have him be like, ‘So what do you weigh today?’ helps me.

“He notices changes in my body,” she added.

“The other day he said, ‘Cor, you look good today. When I saw you the other day you looked bloated’.”

Lauren’s remarks come just days after the Essex girl hit back at claims her boyfriend was controlling.

She felt forced to defend her beau after her friends described him as “controlling” during her recent appearance on Channel 5’s In Therapy. 

Posting a montage of her boyfriend and a picture of them together on Instagram, she wrote alongside it: “Getting a lot of messages about the controlling comment. This has been taken completely out of context due to the editing.”
