Lauren Goodger treats herself to £8k worth of diamond Cartier bling for her birthday

Lauren Goodger has treated herself to more than £8,000 worth of Cartier jewellery for her 36th birthday.

The Towie star splashed the cash on a rose gold diamond bracelet and ring, after telling fans she's had her first day back at work, following the death of her baby daughter.

Lauren's second daughter Lorena passed away shortly after she was born in July, leaving the TV star broken.

The OnlyFans user, who is a proud mum to one-year-old Larose, has spoken openly about her struggles with grief on her Instagram, documenting her low moments, as well as moments of normality and joy with Larose.

Today the star took to her Instagram Story to show her 914,000 followers her new birthday purchases from Selfridges.

In a video clip, Lauren wrote in all caps: "Happy birthday to me.... Something I've for a long time [heart eyes emoji]

"It's my birthday Monday I've kept quiet but now I've treated myself [heart eyes emoji and white heart emoji]."

The video clip showed Lauren taking the ring and bracelet out of their individual red Cartier bags, and then opening up the boxes.

Together, the jewellery comes to £8,350, with the ring costing £150 more than the bangle.

In a candid post yesterday, Lauren spoke about how things must go on after taking a break to try and heal.

The business woman posted two images of herself with her hair and make-up immaculately done. 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.

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 Towie alumni 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 Story 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".
