The Only Way is Essex's Lauren Goodger has issued a lengthy statement on social media following the "horrendous terrible whirlwind" few weeks she's been through. The 35-year-old reality star thanked her followers for their support after the tragic deaths of her daughter, Lorena, and ex-boyfriend, Jake McClean, and an alleged attack she suffered.
Lauren, who paid tribute to her late daughter last month, posted to Instagram Stories on Thursday, August 18. She began by saying: "Just want to say thank you to everyone for all the love & support in this horrendous terrible whirlwind in my life the last few weeks! I do read your messages thank you.
"During this traumatic time I've lost but I've also gained some values in this awful heartbroken time ... some new friends and become closer to my current ones & some family ..it really has shown me who is meant to be in my life and I love each and every one one of you thank you .. I only have a few and that's all I need and it's taught me some life long lessons however hard it's been."
