Lauren Goodger "hasn't spoken" to Billi Mucklow for a few years, despite reports that she supported her in the wake of controversy surrounding Andy Carroll 's stag-do.
The footballer, 33, was pictured seemingly asleep in bed with another woman on his stag-do last month. Another photo showed her in his personalised dressing gown.
It was stated that nothing happened between Andy and the woman. And despite concern, him and Billi, 34 - who have three kids together - tied the knot last week.
And it was reported recently that Billi was supported by fellow TOWIE alum Lauren, 35, in the weeks leading up to the wedding - though Lauren's rep has now denied this.
A source told Closer that Billi was "in a state of shock" and wanted to call off the wedding when she saw the photos - with Lauren said to have helped her "calm down."
The souce said that Lauren had urged Billi against making any "rash decisions" in response to what appeared to be a "very foolish, drunken mistake".
It was further reported that Lauren was "heartbroken" for her former co-star, with her said to have encouraged Billi against letting the drama ruin the wedding.

"She urged her friend to get all the facts straight and find out the truth before making any potentially damaging decisions based on her initial emotions," the source said.
They further claimed that Lauren had said the couple - who tied the knot on Sunday (June 5) - could "take time to heal" after the wedding, potentially in couple's therapy.
Lauren's rep however has denied that she supported Billi in the wake of the controversy, saying that such claims are "factually incorrect" and that they haven't spoken in years.
When approached for comment on the source's claims earlier, her rep told us: "This story is completely factually incorrect. Lauren hasn't spoken to Billi for a few years."
Lauren and Billi had both appeared on TOWIE. Lauren's first stint on the show was between 2010 and 2012, with Billi a cast member from 2011 until 2013 initially.
Billi and Andy tied the knot in Hampshire on Sunday, with the couple having posted about the ceremony on their respective social media accounts following the nuptials.
