How Lauren Goodger hid her second pregnancy from baggy clothes to clever Insta tricks
LAUREN Goodger today revealed she is pregnant yet again – but fans didn’t have a clue thanks to the clever ways she kept it under wraps.
The TV personality, who has been waiting to spill the news in a glossy magazine, has employed a range of smart moves to conceal her pregnancy – and now we take a look at how she managed to keep it under wraps for so long.
Noticeably, the ex-Towie star, who is now 16 weeks pregnant, held off posting any Instagram photos to her feed for nearly a month.
In the last snap Lauren shared on Boxing Day, the ITV favourite cleverly hid her burgeoning bump as she doted over her six-month-old daughter while lying on her bed.
Captioning the sweet snap of them together, she wrote at the time: “Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas
“My baby girl @babylarose.x was spoilt rotten with lots of toys kisses and cuddles and lots of family time on her 1st Christmas.
“My little lady was my best present this year she has filled my heart with love over and over everyday 
”.
Just last week, Lauren attempted to throw many of the scent as she sported a oversized white-coloured coat while out and about.

On Thursday, January 20, the star was pictured at a local Essex petrol station filling up her Mercedes.
In the shots, the expectant mother donned a black polo neck and leggings as she held her padded coat closed over her stomach.
CLEVER POSING
Keeping her pregnancy under wraps over the festive season, Lauren strategically used her daughter’s car seat and pram to hid her blossoming bump while being papped.
In a photo on Christmas Eve, the Dancing On Ice alum was spotted out and about with her adorable baby daughter Larose.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star appeared in high spirits as she was seen out shopping following her gruelling battle with Covid in December.
Lauren opted for comfortable sports leggings, oversized and a faux fur coat, which matched well with her daughter’s carrier that she held in front of her stomach.
Then on December 20, she was pictured pushing Larose’s pram as she they went out for a walk following their recovery.
Wearing a light blue jumper and black tracksuit bottoms, Lauren enjoyed the fresh air after being in isolation and noticeably used the pram to hid her stomach behind.
STRATEGIC SOCIAL MEDIA
In recent weeks, Lauren only showed her top half and chose carefully-taken photos on her Instagram.
The new mum has refrained from posting as regularly as she used to, with many believing she was limiting her social media use as she eased herself into motherhood.
The star sporadically posted photos and many of which were adorable photos of her little girl.
Earlier today it was revealed Lauren is pregnant with her second child with ex Charles Drury.
BABY ON BOARD
The 35-year-old said she fell pregnant just eight weeks after welcoming daughter Larose in July.
Just last week, it was reported that Lauren had kicked boyfriend Charles out of her house after The Sun revealed the 24-year-old had a fling with Amy Gilbert while they were separated.
A pal of the former Towie star told OK! that Lauren “was really hurt when she found out about” Charles’ fling and ordered him to “pack his bags and leave”.
The insider added that Lauren was now concentrating on caring for their daughter Larose and was not thinking about Amy or Charles.
In a new interview with the publication which took place before she learned of the fling, Lauren, who is 16 weeks pregnant, said the baby news has come as a shock.
RELATIONSHIP WOES
Charles’ fling Amy, who is also 24, said she started seeing Charles shortly after he announced his split from Lauren, when he slid into her DMs on Instagram.
She claimed they met at his place in East London for sex and even spent a whole weekend together – but that he dropped her to return to Lauren.
She said: “We were messaging for a couple of days on there and then he wanted me to go and meet him in a local place he was living – and I did.
“I slept with him on that night, it was quite intense first of all, then he asked to see me again the following day. I then went and met him again.
“Then I spent the whole weekend round there as well. We were on and off talking every day, FaceTiming.”
Charles said: “She wanted to meet up and sleep together on the first night of meeting. Being stupid, things obviously happened.”
He added that he went back to Lauren, 35, because “I wanted to sort things out with my family”.
Lauren had blamed their first split on stress – saying Charles, who once dated Katie Price, needed “five minutes out”.
She told New magazine: “Listen, moving house and having a baby are very stressful things. Having a baby, as well as it being a beautiful and amazing thing, really does test couples.
“For Charlie, it’s a lot of change and I think he was quite overwhelmed with everything. As much as he loves me and Larose, he had to take five minutes out.”
