Lauren Goodger has paid tribute to her late daughter on Mother’s Day.
The former Towie star, 36, had a tough 2022, after her second child, Lorena died shortly after birth in July.
Following the devastation, Lauren was assaulted on the day of her baby’s funeral.
The star’s ex-boyfriend Jake McLean was also killed in a car crash while on a Turkish holiday.
She also had a rollercoaster year with her relationship, off and on again with boyfriend Charles Drury, 25, whom she shares her children with.
But she’s slowly been returning to public life, after enduring what she previously described as ‘major trauma’.

And while Mother’s Day is undoubtedly a difficult occasion for the reality star, Lauren shared a beautiful message.
Taking to Instagram, the former Dancing On Ice contestant posted a photo of first daughter Larose, 20 months.
The sweet black-and-white picture captured the little one lying in her cot, with her face blurred out, while an image of late baby Lorena was displayed on a phone screen at her side.
She captioned the post: ‘Thank you for giving me the best gift and all I’ve ever wanted is to be your “mummy” I love you both to the moon and back and this morning has touched me so deep I wish you was with us my gorgeous Lorena’.
She concluded: ‘Happy Mother’s Day everyone, just cuddles is all you need today’.
