Towie’s Dan Edgar asks ex Lauren Pope to ‘be his date’ to the National Television Awards

TOWIE stars Dan Edgar and Lauren Pope could be getting back together, say friends, who reveal that Dan has asked Lauren to be his ‘date’ to the National Television Awards tomorrow.

The Essex stars – who first dated last year for a few months – will be walking the red carpet together at the glitzy awards party at London’s O2 Arena.

“Dan asked Lauren to be his date, and she agreed to go with him,” says a Towie source.

“A lot of the cast are going to the party, but everyone’s talking about the fact Dan and Lauren going together. They've always had chemistry and no-one would be surprised if Dan was trying to start things with Lauren again.”

Dan and Lauren have history – back in May 2017, they had a brief relationship but it fizzled out after they kissed on Towie.

“You can’t deny that Dan Edgar is still stunningly beautiful,” she said at the time.

“We had a little fling, if you can call it that, but it fizzled out when I moved away from Essex. We left it on really good terms. He’s nice and chilled out.”

She later refused to rule him out as a baby daddy, saying: “It's worked for Cheryl and Liam so who knows?

"Dan's not that young! Ideally 30 would be my cut-off point but time’s running out.

“I wish Dan was a little bit older, then I think he'd tick all the boxes - he's so gorgeous and such a nice guy and me and him are very similar.

“Our natures are very calm, we're not loud in-your-face people.”

“I do really want kids but it's just so hard to meet a man who is good enough to be a dad to your children.

“I need to get a move on really. I definitely want a family but I won't have it unless I know it's right.”
