“My body feels like I’ve been hit by a truck”: Lauren Goodger reveals she has strep throat after going to the doctor over fears for her health
Lauren Goodger has revealed that she was diagnosed with strep throat after rushing to doctors out of fear for her health.
The former TOWIE star, 36, took to Instagram on Thursday to update her followers after breaking down in tears last night because she was feeling “so sick.”
Lauren said: ‘So I have a strep throat so it’s a bed for me. Larose at my dad’s house to give me a few hours off and I’m on antibiotics.

“My body feels like I’ve been hit by a truck, multiple times.”
Strep throat is a bacterial infection that causes inflammation and pain in the throat, symptoms include fever, swollen lymph nodes, nausea, and vomiting.
Friends had originally feared that Lauren, who is mother to 15-month-old daughter Larose, had strep A as cases rose across the UK.

Recovery: “My body feels like I’ve been hit by a truck, multiple times,” he added.
‘Lauren was crying, it feels so bad. She is running to her GP today,’ a source said Sun.
“Everyone is afraid she has strep A. Poor Lauren, it’s one thing after another and this is the last thing she needs before Christmas.”
Streptococcus A, a bacterial infection, which is usually mild, has so far killed at least 16 children in the UK. Although low, the toll is higher than expected for this time of year.
However, upon receiving medical attention, doctors diagnosed Lauren with strep throat.
It’s been a busy time for Lauren, who recently overhauled her fitness regimen in a bid to “feel sexy again” after a “horrendous” year.
Speaking to the new magazine, she explained: “I want to lose some weight and then I’ll have the implants removed.” I’m over big tits and big butts. I am so above that look. I want to look sexy – I’m single. I’m back on OnlyFans. It’s something I enjoy doing because it makes you feel sexy.’

Lauren said the training was helping to improve her mental health and replace therapy or medication after the loss of her daughter Lorena, who tragically passed away in July just hours after she was born.
She said: ‘People have advised me to see a counselor and maybe I will in the future, but it’s not something I want to do right now. I treat things differently. I am a warrior and always have been my whole life. I am a survivor and I want to be strong for Larose. She keeps me going.
He went on to say that while he’s still going through a tough time, he’s started to “heal” and it’s reflected in his appetite.
Lauren said: “I’m still going through such a horrible time in my life, but I’m slowly getting there.” After everything that happened, I stopped eating completely. It wasn’t on purpose, just that she physically wasn’t hungry due to pain and anxiety. Now I am in a healthier place because I can eat again. It means I’m healing.
