Lauren Goodger’s friends beg her to ‘stay away’ from ex Charles Drury after he ‘spends the night’ at her home
TOWIE star Lauren Goodger’s pals have begged her to ‘stay away’ from her ex-boyfriend Charles Drury.
Sources say the former builder spent the night at her home, as they co-parent their daughter, Larose.
Pals of Lauren, 36 are worried that the reality TV personality may welcome her ex back into her life after he was previously arrested last year.
A source told the Sun: “Lauren’s friends have begged her not to get back together with her ex Charles Drury after they heard Charles had spent the night at her house this week.
“A few of them reached out to her and told her to stay away from him as they feel like he is bad news and will only bring her more heartache.
“Lauren insisted that he just slept in the spare room and that they are working on co-parenting Larose, but those closest to her know she and Charles are growing closer.
“They feel it’s only a matter of time before they are back together.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Towie star told The Sun: “Lauren and Charles are focused on the best outcome in co- parenting their daughter Larose.
“For clarity – Charles does not reside at Lauren’s.”
25-year-old Charles Drury was arrested in August of 2022.
He was bailed over Lauren’s claims he attacked her hours after they buried their daughter, who died shortly after she was born.
Onlookers said Lauren, who has a year-old daughter, appeared to be trying to “get back to normal”.
One said: “She’s a working mum and life has to continue. You could see her black eye very clearly.”
Lauren, who was taken to hospital, has since been interviewed by cops a handful of times.
Drury, who has worked as a builder previously and was quizzed for more than 24 hours.
The Towie star was later spotted with a serious black eye — more than a week after the alleged incident — as she ran errands near her Essex home.
