Reality TV legend Lauren Goodger has heartbreakingly admitted she regrets some of her cosmetic surgery and currently hates her appearance. The Only Way Is Essex icon has confessed that she believes her cosmetic procedures have ‘ruined her looks’ and plans to reverse them.

Lauren, 38, first appeared on our TV screens when TOWIE premiered in 2010 and has been in the public eye ever since – with her looks often securitised by cruel trolls.

Last month, the Essex native revealed she’s planning to remove her breast implants after 11 years, as she wants to feel like her ‘normal self’ again and go back to being ‘natural’.

Captioning a photo of herself in pink lingerie, Lauren told her Instagram followers: “11 years ago, I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life. I had the perfect boobs… they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for one year they have now changed and I’ve always found they make me look bigger!

“Also they are heavy and I don’t like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boobs so much .. so after looking around I’ve found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos! This is a HUGE step for me I’ve wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do!”

In a new interview, Lauren, who was once engaged to childhood sweetheart Mark Wright, reflected further on her past surgeries and admitted they’ve left her feeling that her body appears ‘abnormal’.

She told The Sun that her ‘massive boobs and bum’ make her appear larger than she is, and shared her desire to return to her previous appearance.

Lauren confessed: “I’ve ruined my looks with surgery – I hate my fake boobs and bum now. I feel like my body looks abnormal – I don’t need these massive boobs and massive bum. When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.”

The reality TV star, shares daughter Larose, three, with her ex Charles Drury and late daughter Lorena who died at birth in 2022, has previously also spoken about her ‘Brazilian butt lift’ (BBL) procedure done in Turkey in 2017.

The surgery, which transferred fat from various parts of her body to her buttocks, is now something she wishes she could undo. Speaking to Closer magazine last year, she said: “When I had everything done, I looked the b****ks. My boobs looked amazing, I loved how I looked in pictures and all the attention. But now I wish I’d never had anything. I want it all out.”

She lamented the physical discomfort and aesthetic issues caused by her enhanced features, stating: “My bum and boobs make me look bigger and cause me pain. I want to reverse it all and go back to natural.”

Speaking to OK! magazine, the Celebrity Big Brother and Dancing on Ice star revealed that she hasn’t had fillers for more than two years, although she opts for Botox thrice annually. Lauren also explained how she abstains from alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, and caffeine, aiming to lead a ‘healthier and happier’ lifestyle.
