Lauren Goodger claims she’s STILL dating jailed Joey Morrisson – and that she ‘can’t wait’ to have a baby
LAUREN Goodger has revealed she is still dating jailed Joey Morrisson - and she "can't wait" to have a baby with him.
The former Towie star had previously told pals that she had split from her boyfriend of 15 months but has now suggested otherwise.
Speaking to about her struggle to lose weight, the 30-year-old revealed that Joey is very "supportive" of her and that she looking forward to starting a family with him - implying they are still very much an item.
She told the magazine: “Joey always tells me I’m beautiful, but he knew me when I was my slimmest and a size 8. He says: ‘Why can’t you get back to that again?’ But he’s a man and he doesn’t understand that it’s harder for women to lose weight because we have more body fat.
“He’s supportive but he’s a very fit, active person, even while in prison, so he thinks I should just do the same.”
It was first reported that Lauren had split from Joey – who has been behind bars since 2008 for serious drug related offences – after she was seen on a number of nights out with friends and The Sun Online revealed that the pair had a huge row.
Lauren however has said she just started going out more because she is a "sociable" person.
She added: “I love my nights out, though. I used to be guilty of staying in a bit because I didn’t want to be photographed. But that’s not me. I need to socialise.”
Despite her comments, Lauren told friends during a recent night out that things were very much over with Joey.
A source close to Lauren told The Sun Online: “Lauren has told all her mates she is single - she said she has finished with Joey and that the relationship is over.

“It didn’t really come as a shock to anyone because people know it wasn't exactly the perfect relationship for her to be in - in fact, we're completely relieved it's all over.
“She was really letting her hair down and it was nice to see her back to her usual self.”
However the couple seem to have put any troubles behind them as Lauren once again looks forward to motherhood – because she thinks it’s a chance to lose weight.
She added to the magazine: “Ferne (McCann) is looking incredible because she’s pregnant and obviously not drinking. She’s glowing and looks amazing. I reckon I’d actually lose weight if I was pregnant because I wouldn’t be boozing. I can’t wait for a baby.”
