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 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 couple recently relaunched their relationship after nearly three years apart by sharing pictures from a date night at Indian restaurant Cinnamon in Epping.
They were joined by pals Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed, who playfully wrote on social media that they were double dating.
It followed a TikTok live alongside Junaid and Joe that set tongues wagging that the pair were an item once again.
Last year, Lauren opened up about the struggles she had previously faced co-parenting daughter Larose, three, with Charles.
"It has not been easy, but we're at a place at the minute where it is running smoothly. Charles sees Larose very regularly," she told MailOnline.
"It's a lot of travelling for me because he lives 3.5 hours away, and I meet him in the middle. It's not ideal but it is what it is."

Lauren and Charles tragically lost their second child Lorena during a traumatic labour in 2022.
Reality favourite Lauren fell pregnant just three months after giving birth to Larose in 2021.
Lorena, who Lauren described as the "most beautiful healthy baby she'd ever seen", died after her umbilical cord became wrapped around her neck.

Brooklyn Beckham makes sweet family gesture sparking hopes of an end to bitter feud
BROOKLYN Beckham tonight paid a sweet tribute to a family member sparking hopes that the bitter feud could soon end. The 26-year-old reportedly cut off all contact with his parents and siblings amid an ongoing fallout. 4 4 But his love for his nan Sandra, 76, hasn't diminished and he has wished her a heartfelt happy birthday. Alongside a picture of him and his grandma posted on Instagram, he wrote: "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much." Though it is his first public acknowledgement of his family in many months, there are still seemingly many hurdles to overcome. Last month Brooklyn completely snubbed dad David's 50th birthday celebrations, failing to attend his parties or pay tribute to him on social media. Nor did he congratulate his dad after news emerged of his knighthood. Yet yesterday Brooklyn wished his father-in-law Nelson a happy birthday with a very public display of support for the 83-year-old billionaire businessman. On Monday, there was a snub the other way when Victoria and David Beckham didn't acknowledge an anniversary post Brooklyn made in which he paid tribute to his actress wife, who is said to have a frosty relationship with her mother-in-law. The couple were cheered on by Brooklyn's Godfather, Elton John, who called them "the sweetest, most loving couple". It's not known whether or not Elton's supportive comment have affected his friendship with David and Victoria. According to The Mail, Brooklyn's family - which include Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13 - refer to the aspiring chef as 'The Hostage'. It has been reported he now spends most of his evenings alone with his wife, watching TV by the fire and running her baths. Brooklyn, who lives in LA, appeared to previously take a swipe at his family on Instagram when he posted a video with Nicola amid claims she was at the heart of the falling out. He emphasised his 'choice' to stick by her, writing: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby." 4 4

Seething Love Island fans slam ‘vile' Ben and demand he's axed in public vote after explosive row with Yasmin

In tonight's episode of Love Island, Yasmin Pettet, 24, decided to pull her current couple partner, Ben Holbrough, 23, for a chat.

Phyllis Logan's puzzling whodunnit is like a spoof of Midsomer Murders, says RONALD WHITE
Murder Most Puzzling - Channel 5 About halfway through Murder Most Puzzling, actor Adam Best delivered what is surely the most whodunnit line ever: 'This is DI Hooper. A body has been found in the library.' Found? You'd have to be Chief Inspector Clouseau to have missed it. The bloodied corpse dropped from the balcony during amateur detective Cora Felton's birthday party — straight on top of the giant cake. But never mind the death, a bigger mystery was the party itself. Inspector Hooper's main job in this series is to look cross while telling Cora to mind her own business. Why would he organise her birthday party? And how do you slit a hard-bitten private investigator's throat and heave him over a balcony into a room full of police officers without anybody noticing? Murder Most Puzzling has been compared with the BBC 's hit Ludwig, mainly because Cora — like David Mitchell 's character — is a famous crossword compiler. But that's where the resemblance ends. Crosswords and logic are how Ludwig solves crimes, posing as his identical twin brother. There is also something darker lurking in the background, not to mention the suggestion that Ludwig fancies his sister-in-law. We only knew Phyllis Logan's Cora was a famous puzzler in this episode because everybody kept mentioning it. She could just as well be a celebrity chef. Her red specs were straight out of the Prue Leith eyewear range. This six-parter has none of the subtlety of Ludwig. Sometimes it was like watching a spoof episode of Midsomer Murders. There were some clever twists, but far too much seemed far too unlikely. It's a waste of Phyllis Logan, and at two hours, it's much too long (by contrast, the BBC's Death Valley is only 45 minutes). In last night's episode, Cora was hired to clear the name of a man in prison for killing his girlfriend. I don't want to give too much away, but the mayor of Bakerbury (Richard Croxford) could not have been a more obvious villain if he had a duelling scar, sported a twirly moustache, and stroked a white cat. Cora confronted him alone in his office, and it's a miracle she survived long enough to do this. Her preferred method of solving crimes seems to be meeting suspects in circumstances of obvious danger and asking if they've killed anybody recently. At least she had a gun when confronting one killer, who was caught in the act. Who knew crossword compilers were routinely armed? She also managed to force her way into the office of Mr Peacock, the rather limp governor of Bakerbury Prison and an early suspect, by bribing the guards with biscuits. Presumably, these guards were sacked following this outrageous security breach — and immediately recruited by RAF Brize Norton.
