For months, the pair have been fuelling rumours that they've rekindled their romance - and it looks like they're back on for good.
Lauren and Charles were snapped in the airport while heading on a family holiday.
The couple were accompanied by their three-year-old daughter Larose.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Charles first sent the rumour mill into overdrive when they took part in a TikTok together.
Joined by fellow Towi stars Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman, they all appeared on the platform for a live chat.
It was Lauren's first time doing a live video on the platform in over a year, and it had been even longer since she'd been seen publicly with Charles.
The Sun previously told how Lauren treated Charles to a luxury £250-a-night spa break after rekindling their romance.
A source told us: 'Lauren has whisked Charles away as a treat for his birthday.
"It's a stunning manor house in Stock, Chelmsford and it's a very romantic place.
"There's a pool, a fine dining restaurant, a gym and they even host weddings there.
Lauren Goodger fuels rumours she's back with ex as they have dinner with Towie co-stars
"Lauren really wanted to spoil Charles and while there are people who aren't sure about her getting back together with him, she isn't focusing on what others think and she's just following her heart.'
A rep for Lauren declined to comment.
The reality star previously reposted an Instagram story shared by Junaid Ahmed.
He captioned: 'Double dating @joeblackman_98 @laurengoodger @c.drury1.'
She and Charles spent the evening with Junaid and Joe at Indian restaurant Cinnamon in Epping.
Lauren was an original Towie cast member, featuring regularly from the show's 2010 launch until 2012.
After guest appearances in 2015 and 2016, she returned permanently from 2024 onwards.

Stacey Solomon has been noticeably absent from Loose Women – pals finally reveal the real reason why
Apart from a one-off special, mum Stacey last appeared on the regular daytime show more than a YEAR ago CUT LOOSE? Stacey Solomon has been noticeably absent from Loose Women – pals finally reveal the real reason why WITH several TV shows, fashion collections, a haircare range and five kids to look after, Stacey Solomon has her finger in many pies. However, there's one programme she's been conspicuously absent from in recent months and fans are desperate to know why. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Stacey Solomon hasn't appeared on Loose Women since December 2024 Credit: Rex 6 Stacey recently shared snaps on her Instagram of an Italian trip with her brand REHAB Credit: Instagram Stacey, 35, last appeared on ITV's Loose Women in December 2024, as a guest on their groundbreaking 25 Hour Talkathon, which saw the ladies take to the air live for over an entire day with no breaks. While Stacey proved to be one of the more popular contributors on the day, discussing everything from her children to her Christmas plans, she hasn't been seen on the show since, leading curious viewers to question the reason behind her disappearance. 'Proud Loose Woman' Given she first appeared on Loose Women in 2011, becoming a regular panelist in 2016 and has made over 350 appearances, it's a mystery as to why she has failed to come back in any capacity. Aside from her guest stint at the Talkathon, Stacey's last show on the panel was in June last year. Add to the fact she still boasts the title 'proud Loose Woman' on her Instagram biog and it's little wonder fans are scratching their heads. Now sources close to the star insist she's simply 'too busy' to go back to the studio. 'Back in a heartbeat' "Stacey is always welcome back and is absolutely still considered part of the Loose family, but at the moment she's so busy with personal projects and her kids that she never seems to find the time,' our source revealed. 'But they'd have her back in a heartbeat. They love her and there's no ill feeling towards her at all. She is just simply too busy to do it right now.' It's been a common theme with Stacey. Back in 2023, after she'd been absent from the show for several months following the birth of youngest daughter Belle, she admitted her work schedule and caring for the little one left her no time to commit to Loose Women. 6 Stacey at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental in Lake Como earlier this year Credit: BackGrid Returning to the show that November, she said: "I'm so happy to be here. I feel like I've missed it so much. It's been crazy because my daughter Belle was a wonderful surprise, but what that meant was I had to fit my filming schedule into a very short period of time. "So I've just been up and down the country with Sort Your Life Out and filming another show, Bricking It, so I haven't been able to even get into town.' Stacey Solomon launches into huge rant after failing to win Bafta as she admits 'upset and devastation' Now history is repeating itself and it's little wonder Stace can't find a moment in her schedule. Packed schedule In the last six weeks she's been travelling the world, launching her latest Rehab hair care product in Lake Como and holidaying with her eldest son Zach, 17, in Paris. She's also been busy working on the new series of her BBC show, Sort Your Life Out. And pals believe Stacey, who has been married to TV star Joe Swash since 2022, may have more on her mind than just business. 'Everyone thinks she and Joe will try for another baby,' a source said. 'Stacey absolutely loves being a mum and she's openly spoken about adding to the family, so no one would be surprised if she wanted to go that route.' As well as sons Zach and Leighton, 13, from previous relationships, Stacey shares Rex, six, Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle with Joe, who himself has a son, Harry, 17. 6 The Solomon-Swash family (minus Joe's older son Harry) Credit: Instagram 6 Stacey & Joe's BBC reality show was a hit with viewers and has been renewed for a second season Credit: PA In the lead-up to the launch of their reality show, Stacey & Joe, the couple discussed the possibility of more children in the future. 'Me and Stacey are so blessed that we are able to have kids and have this amazing family, but I'd love to have one more,' Joe said. Stacey, while not as keen, didn't shut the idea down completely, admitting she'd prefer to wait until her current brood are slightly older. 'I would love to, maybe when they're a bit older, and they're all independent,' she said. 'If we're lucky enough and if we were privileged enough to have a baby then, that's when I would consider it. But right now, I'm finally feeling like I'm recovering from three consecutive births. It's a lot." Despite being one of the biggest stars on TV, getting nominated for a BAFTA and having both her current shows on the BBC, Stacey failed to make it onto the corporation's recent rich list, where Gary Linieker reigned as the highest paid employee at the company for the eighth year in a row. BAFTA nomination And pals reckon her ambition to make it on there one day will drive a lot of her upcoming decisions. 'Stacey will have been disappointed to miss out on being named one of the BBC's richest stars, but if anything it will fuel her fire," the source added. "She's smart and already looking for the next opportunity. Her brand is very much centred around her family and being a mum, it's what she's most known and loved for, so that could potentially sway her decision to have another baby.' 6 Stacey's brand is centred around family and being a mum Credit: PA Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. As The Sun recently reported, Stacey's been raking in a massive £57,000 every month through her various brand deals and has accumulated a wealth of almost £10million. While only a small portion of that comes from her TV shows - she's also making big bucks thanks to deals with Asda and Primark, as well as her hugely successful Rehab hair care range - she is undoubtedly happiest on the box. 'Stacey and Joe's reality show has been a big win for them and the BBC and she'd love to repeat the magic,' our source continued. 'Another series of that and maybe something else focused on parenting would be a recipe for success. "Watch this space but when she does find the time she will use it wisely - but that might mean we won't be seeing her back on Loose Women any time soon.'

Sharon Osbourne's heartbreaking four-word message just days before Ozzy's death
The Black Sabbath singer sadly passed away just weeks after his final farewell gig Sharon Osbourne posted a heartbreaking four-word message on Instagram just days before the sad passing of her husband and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne. Just over two weeks ago, the 76-year-old reunited the band for one last concert, called Back to the Beginning. The quartet took to the stage at Villa Park on July 5 - less than two miles from the location of their very first performance over 50 years ago. The heavy metal icon, who received a Parkinson's disease diagnosis in 2019, shared the stage with original Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler, and Bill Ward. They were the last to appear on stage as part of the star-studded line-up for the farewell gig. Bands including Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N' Roses were on the lineup, and there were messages of thanks from other celebrities including Jack Black, Ricky Gervais and Dolly Parton. A little more than two weeks later, Osbourne's family confirmed his passing on Tuesday (July 22). A statement said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time." Just a few days ago, Sharon took to Instagram to post some more pictures from the Back to the Beginning concert. One touching post includes a picture of her sitting on the side of the stage, with her feet crossed, knees close to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs as she looked on lovingly towards her husband performing. The Black Sabbath singer sang while sitting on an elaborate black throne adorned with a bat-wing design at the top and skulls. The throne, seemingly the same one he used during his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, became a central element of his performance because of his health challenges. In 2020, Osbourne disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and he decided to pause his touring in 2023 following significant spinal surgery. In 2019, he experienced a fall at home, which worsened injuries from a nearly fatal quad bike accident in 2003, preventing his No More Tours 2 performances from taking place in Europe and the UK. In the caption of her post, Sharon posted a sweet four-word message. "Taking it all in", she said. At the time, the comment section was flooded with words of love and support from thousands of fans. One said: "No words…. Most Amazing tribute EVER! God Bless Ozzy." A second said: "You are such a good wife @sharonosbourne all you do to see Ozzy happy. God bless you!" A third wrote: "Your happy place." A fourth said: "This is a perfect shot." Since the news of Ozzy's passing, many people have left heartfelt comments for Sharon and her family. One person put: "Sharon, we're sending you all our love. God is with you and your family in this moment." Another added: "The heart and warrior woman right there. God bless u Sharon." One more said: "Your face says you already knew what was coming. My condolences." Someone else posted: "You knew. This shot has a deeper meaning and larger impact today of all days. RIP." Singer Yungblud, who performed Changes at the concert on July 5, with a recording of the live cover released for charity, paid tribute to Osbourne, calling him "the greatest of all time". In an Instagram post, the singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, shared photos of the moment he gave the late heavy metal singer a cross on a necklace, similar to the one Osbourne had previously given to him. He wrote: "I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know things that we don't. I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. "Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time." What is Parkinson's disease? According to the NHS, Parkinson's disease is a "condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years." It adds: "Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in part of the brain called the substantia nigra. This leads to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain." The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease are: involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body (tremor) slow movement stiff and inflexible muscles A person with Parkinson's disease can also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms. These include: depression and anxiety balance problems (this may increase the chances of a fall) loss of sense of smell (anosmia) problems sleeping (insomnia) memory problems The health service continued: "Most people with Parkinson's start to develop symptoms when they're over 50, although some people with the condition first experience symptoms when they're under 40. Men are slightly more likely to get Parkinson's disease than women."
