Lauren Goodger slammed by fans as she sells £4,000 coat on Instagram
LAUREN Goodger has come under fire for flogging a real fur coat online.
The 36-year-old horrified her followers by showing off the flashy item made from red fox, telling them it could be theirs for just £1,000.
Lauren, who has been selling off the contents of her old home and wardrobe in recent months, insisted it wasn’t actually hers – but fans were still unimpressed.
She wrote: “Vintage fur long brown/caramel red fox coat item not my own .. was given by a friends mother when she passed worth 4k sale 1k.”
One person raged: “This needs to be set fire to !!!”
While someone else wrote: “This needs to go in the bin.”
And another person suggested: “How about sell it and donate the money to animal rescue… win win.”
The foxes can live in the cages for up to four years before they are killed and their skin sold to fur-manufacturing companies.
Around 10 to 20 foxes are needed for a fur coat but they are also used to make hats, gilets and trims for jacket hoods.
Fur farms were banned in the UK in 2003, but there are numerous vintage fur coats still on sale.
Last year Lauren made the decision to sell everything she owned with ex Charles Drury in a bid to “wipe the slate clean” after he was arrested again.
It hasn’t been an easy time for Lauren who suffered the devastating loss of her newborn daughter Lorena last year.
A source said at the time: “Lauren has sold everything.”
The source added to OK!: “Selling all her stuff from the house she lived in with Charles has been therapy in itself.”
She later moved out of the house they shared and back into her old apartment with daughter Larose.
