Lauren Goodger was pictured for the first time following the death of her ex Jake McLean looking downcast as she headed out with her young daughter Larose.
Jake, who she dated between 2012 and 2016, was killed when his car crashed over a cliff in the Bodrum area of Turkey over the weekend. He was aged just 33.
Fellow TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou, 28, who Jake was dating, is seriously injured but is in a stable condition and 'recovering' in hospital.
Lauren, 35, who paid tribute to Jake on Tuesday saying she had "no words" following his sudden death stepped out in Essex in a velvet blue tracksuit.
The devastated star, who is expecting her second child with Charles Drury, had her dark brown hair tied up in a messy bun as she headed out to pick up some groceries.
A heavily pregnant Lauren looked sombre as she pushed Larose along in a pram as they left the shops.
Lauren's appearance in public comes after she broke her social media silence to pay tribute to Jake.
The television personality took to Twitter to say she had 'no words' to describe the shock she was in after learning of Jake's tragic death.
"RIP Jake. I have no words right now. My thoughts are with your family and friends," she penned.
Lauren first met Jake in 2012, with the two publicly dating on and off for several years. They were expecting a child together in 2013 but Lauren, unfortunately, suffered a miscarriage.

It has since been reported that the reality star and Jake briefly rekindled their romance but split for good in 2020 before she got with Charles.
A source told MailOnline following the crash: "It's a complete tragedy and a total loss of life. Everyone is in shock and hoping Yazmin makes a full recovery."
After Jake and Lauren's first split in 2016, he was linked to Yazmin, who suffered injuries to her arms following the crash.
Yazmin had an on/off relationship with Jake, with them hooking up about a month after she split from fellow TOWIE star James Lock.
She made a life-changing decision to go to Dubai with Jake to live, a year after their relationship began, with them confirming their romance with a series of snaps in December last year as they enjoyed a loved-up date night.
In the wake of Jake's untimely death over the weekend a whole host of celebrities have paid tribute to him - including former Love Island star Georgia Harrison.
The reality TV star 27, shared a tribute to Jake with a series of photos with herself and her late pal on her Instagram page and story.
Georgia - who once had a brief stint on TOWIE - wrote: "Thankyou for giving me the confidence to love myself, thankyou for always routing for me, thankyou for loving me but most of all thankyou for being my mukka even in my road girl days.
"333 will always be my number for you and the way the world lost you will forever haunt me because it makes no sense rip jake you lit up a room and everyone who met you couldn’t help but love you".
