Lauren Goodger may refuse to cooperate with police in an investigation over an alleged assault last year, a source has claimed.
Friends and family fear that her decision not to assist in the investigation against Charles Drury may lead to her taking him back.
However, three separate sources have told new that the former couple have already been in contact over the past two months – news that will only concern those closest to her.
“We are worried she has taken him back but is keeping it quiet,” one source told us. “We have heard they are even in talks to move out of Essex together. Her friends are concerned after everything she’s been through. They don’t want her to get hurt and they just want the best for her. But it seems she wants to be with him, despite her friends and family telling her not to be.”
A second source told us Lauren wants to keep her family together.
LAUREN'S RELATIONSHIP HISTORY
From a failed engagement to an inmate romance, she's had a rocky time in love
2001-2011
Lauren dated fellow TOWIE star and childhood sweetheart Mark Wright on and off for a decade after getting together when they were just 15 years old.
In 2011, Mark-who cheated on Lauren on occasions throughout their relationship - got engaged on the hit reality show, but they split five months later after Lauren was allegedly spotted kissing another man, which she has denied. She later called their relationship "toxic".
2012-2016
After Mark, Lauren dated Jake McLean, who tragically died last July in a car crash. Lauren fell pregnant in 2013, but unfortunately suffered a miscarriage.
