After a tough year  it now looks like former The Only Way is Essex star Lauren Goodger could be returning to the show where she made her name.

Lauren Goodger was thrown into the spotlight as one of the original cast members of The Only Way is Essex when it premiered in 2010. The star went on to appear in six seasons of the show before departing in 2012.

Since leaving the show Goodger has been on our screens via shows like Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Big Brother. However, the star has also faced great tragedy over the last year.

Goodger’s youngest daughter, Lorena died in July, just two days after she was born. A week prior to the loss of her baby, Goodger’s ex-boyfriend, Jake McLean died. McLean was killed in a car crash in Turkey which left his girlfriend and fellow Towie star Yazmin Oukhellou with serious injuries.

After a traumatic few months, Lauren is reportedly considering a return to reality TV. It’s been reported that Towie bosses are keen to bring her back on board.
