Lauren Goodger looked unrecognisable in a series of teenage throwback photos as she reflected on a time when ‘things were less complicated.'

Sharing snaps to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, the former TOWIE star, 39, was seen with blonde highlighted hair rather than her usual brunette style. 

Posing in the toilets during a night out, Lauren dressed in typical 00's fashion complete with a chunky belt and stacks on bangles. 

She wrote: 'Right back when life was much less complicated.' 

Lauren joined the hit reality show, TOWIE, in 2010 and was part of the original cast alongside Sam Faiers, Lydia Bright, and Kirk Norcross.

Her outbursts and heated interactions with other cast members became a central part of her portrayal on the show.

Speaking in an interview last year, Lauren shared her plans to look like her old self again and revealed her plans to have her breast and bum implants removed.

Speaking to The Sun, she admitted the surgery she has undergone has left her thinking her body looks 'abnormal'.

She said she thinks her 'massive boobs and bum' have made her look bigger than she actually is and expressed regret about getting the work done. 

Lauren said: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now.

 'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum.

She added: 'When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.'

Elsewhere, Lauren recently opened up about her motivations behind working on X-rated subscription site OnlyFans.

The reality TV star joined the site five years ago and discusses her work on Olivia Attwood's new ITV2 series Getting Filthy Rich.

She makes around £30,000 a month on the platform and has now said it doesn't hugely bother her after doing racy magazine covers in the past.

She told The Mirror at the launch of Olivia's new series: 'It's actually not that bad - having only a few hundred fans on there, paying a higher price, I would rather that than thousands of people having access. Because it is only me showing my boobs.'

'I'm not being funny, but I've been on the front of magazine covers for the last 10 years. Like on Closer mag - I was naked, anyway! They all want me naked. So, what difference does it make? I might as well make money out of it!

'I was - I still am - the girl next door. I'm quite a home girl.'

She added that content makers like Lily Phillips can earn more through more extreme pictures and videos but Lauren says she 'doesn't have the guts to do that'.
