Lauren Goodger has opened up on an "emotional evening" as she prepares to celebrate her daughter Larose's first birthday, just weeks after her second daughter Lorena tragically died not long after her birth.

The former TOWIE star, 35, announced the devastating news on Instagram on 10 July, posting a picture of Lorena's tiny hand in hers.

Lauren wrote: "She was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister Larose. "Words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth too for my angel to be taken from me. "There was no pregnancy or labour complications and she was fine & 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 she is so so beautiful Larose twin so similar." She added: "I am broken.

I am back home from hospital Me & Charlie spent as much time with our baby girl Lorena and I haven’t said my goodbye yet." The reality star then asked for privacy during this difficult time, adding: "We have a lot of grieving to do and funeral organising that I just need this time & with my baby girl Larose she is my rock that’s getting me through this or I wouldn’t survive." Now, on Tuesday 19 July, Lauren took to her Instagram stories to post an adorable picture of almost-one year old Larose as she shared that her baby was set to turn one the next day, and she needed help securing birthday balloons.
