Lauren Goodger reveals desire to get her bikini body back as she shares throwback beach snap and admits she yearns ‘to be like this again’

Lauren Goodger shared a throwback snap on Thursday in which she expressed her desire to get her bikini body back.

The TOWIE star, 38, has been open to fans in the past about her struggles with her weight, even previously admitting she was ‘bored of her curves’ and wanted to get ‘really skinny’.

However, as she kicked off 2025, Lauren used an old image of herself as inspiration to return to her former look, captioning it, “To be like this again.”

The image in question shows the TV personality, who has been working on her fitness in recent months, posing up a storm on the beach while rocking a neon pink and black two-piece.

She oozed confidence as she showed off her toned midriff and legs as she stood in front of an idyllic sunset.

In July, Lauren confirmed she had returned to the gym after taking a three-and-a-half week break from her fitness routine following health problems.

The TV personality shared a mirror selfie and revealed she felt “strong” on her first day at the gym.

Lauren wore a baggy black T-shirt and loose-fitting white shorts and went makeup-free after her first workout in almost a month.

She captioned the post: ‘After 3.5 weeks of zero training and diet… today was my first day back and I felt strong! I wasn’t sure how I was going to do, but I’m back!!’

‘I had a bit of a health scare. I trained most days for 2.5 months and then went to 0 due to life stress and other distractions, and it’s also 6 weeks of vacation!’

‘Day 1 every day always come back and start again!’

In December 2023, Lauren declared she wanted to get “really skinny” and claimed she was “tired of her curves and big butt” after admitting she had a butt lift and breast implants.

The beauty previously indulged in a new health kick after admitting she ‘ordered takeaways’ when she became a mum earlier that year.

And it seems Lauren is determined to achieve her fitness goals as she revealed she is determined to lose weight.

Speaking to Closer Magazine, she explained: ‘I want to get really thin. I’m bored with my curves and a big *** – I’m over it.’

Lauren admitted that while she has no idea what dress size she is at the moment, she can fit into Zara size 12 trousers, but added that they are stretchy.

She continued: ‘I don’t know what size I want to get, it’s more about how I feel.’

Lauren eventually admitted to having a Brazilian bum lift, after previously denying she had the procedure to plump up her bum.

As the TOWIE star prepared to return to a more natural look, she revealed she had the surgery in 2017 and also had her breasts enlarged from a 34D to a 34E in 2013.

Lauren said she has “been unhappy for a while” and plans to soften her appearance to be “more natural.”

She told me OK! Magazine: ‘For a few years now I’ve been thinking: ‘Why did I ever get my breasts done?’ I haven’t been happy for a while, but when I got pregnant with Larose, my breasts got even bigger and I hated the way I looked.

‘I look back at old photos from before breast enlargement and I had nice breasts. I wish I could go back to natural Lauren.”

The TV personality explained how she went to Turkey for a BBL, describing it as ‘the worst experience’ of her life.

It comes after Lauren is said to be ‘devastated and anxious’ after finding out her ex-partner Mark Wright is expecting a baby with wife Michelle Keegan.

The reality star had a decade-long relationship with co-star Mark until 2012 and is now angry that she has been ‘left behind’.

Lauren is also said to be ‘super scared’ she might bump into happy couple Mark and Michelle as they both live close to each other in Essex.

A source said The sun: ‘The news has been a huge blow to Lauren and she is devastated, especially as she hasn’t had a great Christmas, so it’s the icing on the cake.

‘It has hit her hard, Mark is building his perfect family and she is being left behind.’

They continued: ‘She has always had a lot of love for Mark, they were once childhood sweethearts and in an ideal world she would have been reunited with him.

‘Plus, Michelle and Mark live close by, so she’s very worried that she might run into them at some point, which will be horrifying for her.’

Lauren has denied the comments to The Sun and MailOnline has contacted Lauren’s representatives for comment.
