EX-Towie hottie Lauren Goodger is urging I’m A Celeb chiefs to get her Down Under and sex things up in the Jungle. The Essex babe issued a comeand-get-me call to show bosses who are one campmate down following Jack Maynard’s axeing. And outspoken Lauren reckons she’d be the perfect sexy replacemen­t to steam things up. She says: “The show is missing that reality girl with attitude this year. Get e in there! I would love every second, ey need someone like me in there. I’m A Celebrity is one of my favourite ows. I am such a fan and I praise anye brave enough to go in there. You have test your own strength.”

Glamour

Lauren, 31, thinks feisty babes do well the show because they are such a hit th viewers. Sexy glamour is what the show needs. would be brilliant TV because it’s ways the characters who wear their arts on their sleeves who you rememr. Everyone recalls Helen Flanagan cause she was hilarious. Look at rne McCann – she was incredible. I would eat the spider like Ferne, of urse I would. It wouldn’t be easy and I ould struggle but I am sure I could push yself. The eating challenge would be tter than the other tasks but I would be sick. I would struggle more with being trapped undergroun­d I think.

“Even though she wasn’t in there very long Gemma Collins was so memorable because of her struggles.

“I think Gemma is hilarious, she’s crackers.”

Lauren says she hasn’t felt a connection to anyone in the show this year.

“I am just getting used to it and finding out who my favourites are going to be.

“Obviously Amir Khan is a legend so you’re rooting for him straight away. I don’t really understand why Boris Johnson’s dad is in there. I am not sure about that, it’s bizarre. He seems quite sweet.

“I didn’t know who Georgia Toffolo was but she seems like she will be good.

“But they are missing the glamour girl and boy that we’ve loved previously.”

Lauren was famous for her bust-ups on The Only Way Is Essex which centred around her relationsh­ip with ex-fiancé Mark Wright.

Then while Mark left to go on I’m A Celebrity, Lauren went on Celebrity Big Brother.

She says that was her downfall because ITV don’t take contestant­s who have been been on Big Brother, while BB does take celebs who have been Down Under.

But Lauren says she would be TV gold because her reality background means she knows how to handle arguments on the show. “I am quite calm and a team

HAPPIER TIMES: Mark and Lauren player but I stick up for myself. I had one big row in Celebrity Big Brother and everyone backed me because I was in the right.

“It was when Frenchie was rude to me so I pulled her aside and said what needed to be said.”

Whether or not she goes into the Jungle, Lauren, who broke up with jailbird Joey Morrison earlier this year, wants to drop her party girl image and become a mum in 2018. “I don’t have a love life at all right now,” she laughs. “I just want to move on and make 2018 a fresh start for me. “I want to have a baby next year. “I don’t care about the man now. I just know that I will have a baby. That’s all I care about more than the man. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t just have a baby with anyone. “I want to focus on me, and when the time is right I will meet someone. “Becoming a mum is more of a priority. But if I meet someone I fancy, then great. “People always say I am attracted to the bad boy and I suppose they are right. “The guys I go for are always a bit mean looking aren’t they? “They are pretty boys but with a mean look. Every relationsh­ip I’ve had has been the same, that Essex boy stereotype. “I would be a great mum. I think I would be like Tamara Ecclestone – I want to give everything to my child.” And Lauren insists there is no bad blood between her and ex-fiancé Mark, who married Corrie actress Michelle Keegan in 2015, despite her recent claims she was asked to leave Essex eaterie Sheesh by bouncers to make way for Mark and pal Olly Murs. “I did lose my rag and speak out when I got dragged into something recently because the restaurant is ‘known’ for doing it and it was so unfair to ask me to leave.

“It’s very strange and what I said was the truth.”

“It’s so annoying that even after all these years I’m still asked about Mark!

“People still seem to be fascinated with that relationsh­ip and I understand that we were together on a reality show but that ship sailed for both of us a long time ago. There is no love there, no hate, it’s part of my past and that’s it!

“If I saw either of them in Essex I would be amicable.

“Towie is like a family, we all came up together in the same job and I am still friends with everyone from the first series. There’s no bad blood and we all still speak to each other.

History

“It’s sad because there would never be a proper reunion now with all the originals but I would love it if they did.

“We won a Bafta that first year and it was incredible. I will always love the show.

“We don’t get invited to the same things, probably on purpose haha (laughs) which can be annoying sometimes.

“I wish him well but I want to forget that part of my life. It’s history, bye! I’m so over it.”

And Lauren admits she feels bad for the recent speculatio­n about Mark and Michelle’s relationsh­ip.

“I feel so sorry for them,” she says.
