Lauren morphs into Kim Kardashian in a fresh bid for fame

Lauren Goodger wants to replicate the American star’s huge success

- By Daisy Mclure

She’s made no S secret of the fact she’s inspired by Kim Kardashian, previously admitting she “loves Kim” as she posed as the iconic reality star for a Closer photoshoot in 2014.

And last week, Lauren Goodger’s adoration of the star took a new turn when she launched a poll on Instagram, asking fans who wore a nearidenti­cal outfit better: herself or Kim. Lauren’s lookalike Lycra set, which she designed, is even called the “Kimye”, and now pals say it’s all part of her dream to replicate Kim’s fame.

A source says, “Lauren has always been inspired by Kim. She loves her sexy look, but she also admires her business sense and how she’s built a multi-million pound empire. Lauren has her tanning range and wants to expand – she’d love to have the global fame and fortune Kim has.”

The former TOWIE star, 31 – who is in a relationsh­ip with jailbird Joey Morrison – also posted a picture of herself in a thong, showing off her very perky bottom. Fans were quick to offer praise, writing, “Best bum in Britain”, and “That bum, though, I’m jealous.”

Lauren – who’s had a boob job, lip fillers and non-surgical liposuctio­n – has always denied having work done to her bottom. She first sparked speculatio­n in 2016, but claimed she’d simply had more intense weight training. However, fans have remained skeptical, writing, “Lauren’s bum is not real – does she think we’re stupid?”

The star was also snapped in February carrying a rectangula­r cushion – which is commonly used to sit on following a bum lift.

Pals say Lauren – who dropped from 13st to 9st in 2015, before gradually regaining some of the weight – is now focused on making her bum as famous as Kim’s. The source adds, “Lauren is doing squats and weights to get her bottom as big as possible. She thinks she can take on Kim as having one of the world’s most iconic bodies.”
