The Only Way Is Essex favourite Lauren Goodger is positively glowing as she prepares to welcome her second child with ex Charles Drury.
Reality star Lauren, 35, was spotted leaving her home in Essex while carefully cradling her growing bump as she prepares to give birth in July.
It is Lauren’s second child in less than a year after she and Charles, 24, welcomed daughter Larose, in July last year.
The popular TV personality learned she was pregnant again just eight weeks after having her first child, but Lauren appears to be taking it all in her stride.
Lauren flashed a grin for the cameras as she left the home she shares with her baby daughter, and kept a hand protectively over her growing bump.
Despite being five months pregnant and with a baby to look after, Lauren appeared to have it all together, looking gorgeous in smokey-eye makeup and pale lipstick, her brunette locks tied up in a high ponytail.

The star dressed comfortably in a soft grey hoodie and leggings, and clutched her phone in her hand as she carried a black rucksack.
Last week Lauren was seen with her bump on show for the first time since announcing she was pregnant as she headed out to her car to run errands.
The mum-to-be was loaded down with some of Larose’s toys, and still looked as glam as ever in a tight-fitting black top, paired with black leggings and a leather jacket and trainers.

Things haven’t been easy for the reality star over the past year as she and partner Charles split shortly after the birth of Larose, but while they are no longer romantically together, both of them are on good terms and ready to co-parent their children.
Last week the former couple attended The Baby Show at the ExCel centre in London together, with Lauren posting sweet snaps of Charles with their daughter.
Amateur footballer Charles looked to be in pure dad mode as he cuddled baby Larose while checking out a comfortable recliner chair at the show.

The reality star had previously admitted she was ‘scared’ about having a second child so close to her first but is loving being a ‘hands-on mum’.
Lauren told OK! magazine that while Charles was ‘really pleased’ when he learned Lauren was pregnant again so soon after their first, she was ‘really in two minds about it.

‘I was like, “I’m just getting myself back together – I’m going back to square one. Is this fair?” You get real mum guilt, like, “What about Larose?”
‘She’s still a baby, she still needs me, I won’t be able to be there for her.’
