looked worlds away from her early days on TOWIE as a hilarious career-defining clip of her resurfaced on Tuesday.
The star, 38, joined the hit reality show in 2010 and was part of the original cast alongside Sam Faiers, Lydia Bright, and Kirk Norcross.
Her outbursts and heated interactions with other cast members became a central part of her portrayal on the show.
And now, a viral clip of her having a job interview on the show in 2012 has once again done its rounds.
Shared by Hunsnet, an Instagram page which posts iconic celebrity moments, Lauren looked fresh-faced as she sported short blonde locks.
In the clip, the star was tasked with selling a blue stapler during her interview.
She said: 'Stapler, everyone needs a stapler. Obviously, you work with paper every day, it's a great colour.
'I think blue, it's really cool and it's a really nice colour. It can go with girls and boys, so it's, you know, universal.
'So, yeah, I think it's a great price,' she said, before he interviewer asked: 'Can you give me a discount?'
Lauren replied: 'Yeah, definitely if you can buy more than one, then definitely we can come to some compromising price.'
Sharing his thoughts on Lauren's demonstration, the interviewer gushed: 'Excellent, I think you did really well there. That was good, that was really good.'
It comes weeks after Lauren admitted that she thinks she has 'ruined her looks' with plastic surgery.
Earlier this year, the TOWIE star revealed her plans to have her breast and bum implants removed this year.
And speaking to The Sun, Lauren admitted the surgery she has undergone has left her thinking her body looks 'abnormal'.
Lauren said she thinks her 'massive boobs and bum' have made her look bigger than she actually is and shared her plans to look like her old self again.
The reality star expressed regret about getting the work done and insisted she plans to have all of it removed or reversed.
Lauren said: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now.
'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum.
She added: 'When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.'
In May, Lauren revealed she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look '.
She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram.
The reality star shared on her Instagram page a snap posing in a sheer dusty pink baby doll, showing off her very ample assets.
She wrote in the lengthy caption: '11 years ago I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life.
'I had the perfect boobs .. they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for 1 year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger!
'Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boob so much.. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos.
'This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do !
Lauren finished: 'So it's early stages but I am bringing you a long with me!
'I'm terrified but also for health reasons I'm having implants removed and bring back more to my normal self wanting to reverse everything back to natural.'
In March, Lauren shared a huge plastic surgery U-turn on finally having her implants removed after previously fearing death if she went under the knife again.
She delayed getting her breast and Brazilian bum lift removed because she hated the thought of leaving her daughter Larose behind should anything go wrong.
Lauren shares daughter Larose, three, with her ex Charles Drury and tragically gave birth to her stillborn daughter Lorena in 2022 after she was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck.
After years of desperately wanting to get her cosmetic surgery reversed, Lauren revealed she had finally plucked up the courage to put plans in place for later this year.
Sharing her plans in an exclusive interview with DailyMail, she said: 'I was terrified [of getting it done] which is what I'm working on, I'm working on that.
'I've delayed it for a year now. I was meant to get the implants out and I want them out because that will transform me.
'It's not even about my weight, it's more my boobs and bum. If I could get rid of them I'd feel and look so much better.'
After a breast augmentation surgery in 2013, she transformed her 34D chest size to 34E, yet while Lauren said she loved her how her breasts looked at the time, now she feels differently.
She added: 'I've got such a big bum and ginormous boobs, that I look so much bigger than I am because If you catch me at an angle I can look a lot bigger and if they were gone I'd look much more in proportion.
'So I don't really think it is altogether my weight, it's more because I need to get rid of the surgically enhanced assets which is my bum and boobs.
'Lets hope I can do it this year because I will feel so much more comfortable.'
Lauren previously admitted she wanted to get rid of her BBL after she described it as 'the worst experience' of her life - which sparked her fears of more surgery.
