Lauren Goodger reveals she quit TOWIE due to “weight taunts”
We knew it wouldn’t be long before Lauren Goodger herself spoke out in more detail about her decision to leave The Only Way Is Essex, and we were right.
Reports initially suggested that the reality star quit the programme because she wanted to be in Dancing on Ice, however she’s now spoken out to say that “weight issues” were the real reason behind her decision.
Weight taunts from cruel Twitter trolls coupled with being on set with ultra skinny castmates all contributed toward her choice, says Lauren.
'I felt under so much pressure. Most of the girls on TOWIE are quite skinny... Next to the others, I’d be panicking over whether my arms looked fat or how big I’d look if I was sitting down’ she said.
'I’d even beg producers to let me sit at a table so I could hide my legs underneath.'
Goodger has often spoken about her struggle with body confidence since her rise to fame and now says she’s looking forward to a “break” from the limelight to put that all behind her.
Even though she recognizes she’s cureently a “healthy size 12” the reality star hopes she can lose “a stone and a half” in the coming months, which is probably quite achievable with all that Dancing on Ice she’s about to do.
Although, according to Lauren, “nothing’s been confirmed yet” about her appearance on that reality show but as we all know that’s generally a celebrity’s way of saying: “I’m doing it but I’m not allowed to say so”.
