‘Gutted’ Lauren Goodger pulls out of huge ITV show blaming ‘lack of childcare’ ngocc

LAUREN Goodger was "gutted" today after pulling out of a scheduled appearance on ITV's This Morning.

With the new series of Towie about to drop, cast members Lauren, Harry Derbidge and Amy Childs were lined up to promote it on the daytime show.

But Lauren, 38, had to put her daughter Larose, four, first and look after her instead after childcare plans fell through.

She wrote on Instagram: "Sorry @thismorning I can not make it today, due to no childcare and too early and far to being little one and no one other end to have her...

"So sorry - I am gutted to miss but hopefully see you all soon. Good luck guys @mrharryderbidge @amychilds1990 - love you all."

She added hashtags explaining that life is "full on" over the six week summer holidays and she has "no break".

The Towie trio recently attended an ITV day to promote the channel's reality schedule and Lauren, who returned to the programme last year after eight years away, said: "Oh I love it, I've had such a good time, honestly, it's really helped me personally bring on a back, because I sort of lost myself for a little while, went through a lot and I just feel this, this makes me happy."

Fellow show original Amy opened up about how life is very different these days compared to their early years on camera.

The mum-of-four said: "I think personally, I think it's so different. It's like 15 years ago and I feel like me and Lauren, you know, we've all been here 15 years ago.

"We've now got children, me and Lauren, I feel like, I don't want to say it's harder, I just think it's different.

"I think for the show, I think people absolutely love it. Everyone's got a bit of everything in it. Drama, fun.

"II think for me, I'm not really involved with the drama.

"I don't like drama. How many kids have I got? Four kids.

"I'm not involved in any drama. I love it. I love filming. I was there from day one, I'm back.

"I came back five years ago, it was the best thing I ever did. I'm looking forward to everyone seeing it."

Lauren recently confirmed her reunion with ex-boyfriend Charles Drury and treated him to a romantic night away for his birthday.

Days later, the pair and daughter Larose were pictured at the airport on their way to a family holiday.
