Lauren Goodger spends Boxing Day with jailbird ex Joey Morrisson’s family
LAUREN Goodger spent Boxing Day with her jailbird ex Joey Morrisson's family as she proved they're still close.
The reality TV babe lounged on a sofa on the knee of a smiling woman while Joey's older brother Stephen fooled around.
Lauren and convicted criminal Joey broke up this year following a whirlwind 15-month romance, which culminated in a furious row inside HMP Highpoint South.
Joey has been behind bars at the jail since 2008.
And it seems he missed out on a very cosy festive party, after Lauren took to her Instagram to document her night.
In one snap, the reflection in the mirror above the trio captured wine glasses filled with fruit and mixers lined up on the side.
She later posted a video showing a giggling Steve with the caption "Stevoooo home Mr M" and an Emoji love heart, as the family celebrations continued.
Clearly chuffed at her day, she captioned the post: "Ended Xmas with a lovely Boxing Day 💝 #ThankYou #laughter #giggles #friends #chats #cuddles 💖💖💖💖."
Joey's pregnant sister Char was quick to show her love for the former Towie star as she commented on the snap with a series of hearts.
Lauren, 31, sparked rumours she had reconciled with Joey in November, after she referred to herself as "Auntie LG" to Char's baby.
Yet she later denied the claims.
During their time together, Lauren made no secret of the fact that she would like to have a baby with him.
However, it all came to an end in July 2017 when The Sun Online exclusively reported how the heartbroken Essex girl had told friends she was single - in an admission which came just 10 days after we were first to report the pair were on the rocks following the prison spat.
Joey Morrisson and an accomplice, Marvin Russell Jacobs, were handed 16-year prison sentences for a string of violent drugs-related charges.
The pair, both 24 at the time of sentencing, were convicted of a string of offences, including possession of a firearm, kidnapping, blackmail and actual bodily harm.
Morrisson and Jacobs were caught after forensic examinations linked objects left at the scene to the pair.
When Morrisson was arrested, in September 2009, he was found in possession of £10,000 in cash and £60,000 worth of cocaine.
