Lauren Goodger 's love rival has called the pregnant star's relationship with Charles Drury 'fake' and 'not genuine'.
Amy Gilbert, 24, enjoyed a brief fling with Charles last November and she believes there was a 'crossover' between the end of their time together and his return to Lauren.
It was announced last month the amateur footballer and the former TOWIE star are expecting their second baby together, less than a year on from the arrival of their daughter Larose in July 2021.
Beauty therapist Amy has claimed the pregnant reality TV star's relationship with the father of her children is destined to fail - dubbing their union 'toxic' and urging the mum-of-one to walk away from Charles.
"Their relationship is fake… it is quite sad because I would assume Lauren, given she has a baby, one on the way, and she's 35, that she is looking for someone to settle down with," Amy told MailOnline.
"But their relationship is very bizarre and not genuine."
Amy also hit back at Lauren's claims she is 'attention seeking' by talking about her fling with dad-of-one Charles.
"There was a crossover definitely, 100 per cent because it was so super quick. We stopped speaking to each other and within a day he was living back with Lauren," Amy recalled when discussing the timing of her romance with the builder.
"I don't know how she has called me attention seeking when she is doing OnlyFans and she's pregnant. You literally can't get any more attention seeking than that… I was like, whatever Lauren, have your man… I don't want him anymore!"
Amy's comments come just a week on from Charles' cryptic post that seemingly denied rumours of a 'crossover' between the two women.
Lauren, 35, and the amateur football player welcomed their first child, daughter Larose, into the world in July 2021, and the TV personality is now 16 weeks pregnant with a second daughter.
As the news broke, Charles took to social media to state that he "never cheated" and was "keeping his head down" going forward.
Posting to his Instagram Stories, he passionately wrote: "Remember social media isn't real life! I've got a beautiful daughter & another one the way [sic], I don't have to express my love & happiness about things online all the time.
"I've never cheated & things might not have worked out how they should've but I'm working hard, keeping my head down to make sure I'm the best version of myself to be a good man & good dad."
Speaking on Wednesday, former fling Amy predicted a second baby won't help the pair's on-off relationship reach a happy conclusion.
"Bringing another baby into an unstable relationship… it's not going to make anything better between them. I would say this to Charlie all the time when he said he was unhappy… I said that having a child wouldn't mend their relationship," she told the MailOnline.
She went on to state the two stars have "no chance" at making a go of it and that Lauren should walk away from the relationship.
