Lauren Goodger has returned to work following a devastating few months in her life including the death of her baby daughter.
The TOWIE original, 35, recently admitted she has been crying every day when she sees baby Lorena's face as she struggles to continue with day to day life. And while she admits she may never return to the 'old Lauren' she revealed in a candid Instagram post how things must go on after taking a break to help try to heal her mind.
The reality TV star posted two images of herself with her make-up immaculately done, her hair newly coloured and her lips freshly filled. She wore a green vest top in the images and captioned the post: "My first day back to work today shooting.
"After taking a break for my mind after everything I’ve been through, I decided to find that fire & drive in me. slowly and bit by bit Lauren is coming back may I never be the same again but im adjusting to normal life and it feels good thank you. make up @makeupwithamanie"
Her post was met with an influx of support from pals and many of her 914k followers, including former Love Island contestant Jessica Hayes, who simply replied with three love heart emojis.
Another of her followers wrote: "Proud of you darling," while a third gushed: "Absolutely stunning."
It comes just weeks after she admitted she had "mixed feelings" about going on her first night out in two years. As she headed to her pal's 30th, she told her followers: "I've never been to a party or out and left Larose before. But it's come to that time where I have to start socialing... [sic]
"She is now over 1 year and I'm not pregnant anymore after 2 years haha".
The former TOWIE star then explained: "Nanny is baby sitting so I can relax as she used to her and I wouldn't be going if it wasn't my best mates 30th!!
Lauren opened up further about her return to work in her Instagram Stories on Thursday. She revealed she had a good shoot which results in a lot of good content, while also sharing the healthy meal she prepared for little Larose, 1, for their "girls work day out".
And she also shared shots of her new lips after having her filler "topped up" before uploading a throwback image from a past photoshoot and saying: "Throw back to my glamour days. Can't wait to start my glam shoots again."
