Lauren Goodger is reportedly “devastated and anxious” after discovering her ex-partner Mark Wright is expecting a baby with his wife Michelle Keegan.
The former TOWIE star had a decade-long relationship with co-star Mark until 2012 and is now upset he’s “left behind”.
Lauren is also said to be “super looking forward” to meeting happy couple Mark and Michelle as they both live close to each other in Essex.
A source said the sun: ‘The news has been a huge blow for Lauren and she is devastated, especially as she hasn’t had a great Christmas, so it’s the icing on the cake.
“It has affected her a lot, Mark is building his perfect family and she is being left behind.”
They continued: ‘She has always had a lot of love for Mark, they were once childhood sweethearts and in an ideal world she would have been reunited with him.
Lauren Goodger is “devastated and anxious” after discovering her ex-partner Mark Wright is expecting a baby with his wife Michelle Keegan.
Presenter Mark and former Coronation Street actress Michelle shared their happy news that they are expecting their first child on Sunday in a sweet Instagram post.
“Also, Michelle and Mark live close by, so she’s very anxious to bump into them at some point, which will be horrible for her.”
MailOnline has contacted Lauren’s representatives for comment.
Mark and Lauren, who were together for ten years on and off, rose to fame on the ITVBe reality series, with storylines revolving around his numerous flirtations with other women, including Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sam Faiers.
Mark and Lauren even got engaged on TOWIE in March 2011, only for the Essex lad to call things off five months later – and there has been bad blood between the couple ever since.
A year and a half later, Mark and Michelle met during a group vacation in Dubai and fell madly in love.
In September 2013, less than a year after their New Year’s vacation, the couple became engaged and attempted to marry in May 2015.
But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing between the happy couple and Lauren, although things are cordial these days.
Ahead of his wedding to Michelle, the former reality star took to social media to attack his longtime love on Twitter after some warring words.

“She has always loved Mark very much, they were once childhood sweethearts and in an ideal world she would have reunited with him. Plus, Michelle and Mark live close by, so she is very eager to run into them.
He had apparently taken issue with a not-so-cryptic post from Lauren, which read: “She’s the kind of girl a guy meets when he’s too young and ruins it because he has too much life to do.” But then he realizes that she is perfect.’
Mark stated: ‘If you are reading this, PLEASE respect my wife and STOP. I wish you the best, but leave me, my life and my wife out of this. I’m sure there are other ways to make money (sic).’
He then retweeted a series of responses from fans, all supporting his stance.
