Reality tV star lauren Goodger has announced the tragic death of her ‘ healthy’ two- day- old daughter lorena.

She revealed that there had been ‘no pregnancy or labour complicati­ons’.

the former the Only Way is essex (towie) star, who also

has daughter larose, 11 months with partner Charles Drury, shared the news on instagram yesterday morning.

Posting a black and white picture of the newborn’s hand touching hers, Miss Goodger wrote: ‘lorena R.i.P. 08.07.22. She was the most beautiful healthy baby i’ve ever seen, just like her sister.

‘Words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that i carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth to for my angel to be taken from me.

‘there were no pregnancy or labour complicati­ons and she was fine and healthy, but i am not going into detail right now. Just know that there was nothing wrong with her or myself. She was perfect. i can’t understand it... i am broken.’

Mr Drury commented: ‘She will always be with us.’

Miss Goodger was one of the original cast members of towie

Former towie star Danielle armstrong wrote: ‘Oh darling, heartbroke­n for you, sending you strength and love and hope you get the respect and privacy you need to grieve.’

Miss Goodger became pregnant with lorena just eight weeks after giving birth to first daughter larose. in an instagram post under two weeks ago, she revealed that her pregnancy had left her emotional.

She wrote: ‘i’m waiting now for this baby girl to arrive, which i will shower with love, kindness, strength and all my time and affection, a mother’s love.

‘i don’t want to be anywhere else apart from with my baby girls. i can’t wait to have my baby girl in my arms. i’ve waited so long for her to arrive and to give larose the best gift, a baby sister for life.’

words right now.’
