Lauren Goodger has revealed why she was absent from This Morning today, admitting she was "gutted" to have missed the opportunity.
The reality star, who gained fame during the early series of ITV's The Only Way Is Essex, was scheduled to appear alongside her fellow cast members Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge.
Nevertheless, Lauren turned to Instagram to disclose the reason for her no-show, explaining that she needed to care for her young daughter.
After sharing a series of selfies, Lauren penned: "Sorry @thismorning I can not make it today, due to no childcare and too early and far to being little one and no one other end to have her.

"So sorry - I am gutted to miss but hopefully see you all soon. Good luck guys @mrharryderbidge @amychilds1990 - love you all," reports the Mirror.
She continued: "#6weeks #nobreak #mumlife #towie #liftisfullon."
Lauren made her comeback to Towie last year following an eight-year hiatus from the programme, and has recently shared her enthusiasm.
"Oh I love it, I've had such a good time, honestly, it's really helped me personally bring on a back, because I sort of lost myself for a little while, went through a lot and I just feel this, this makes me happy," she remarked, as reported by The Sun.

Supporters rushed to offer their backing, with one commenting: "The original and the best, look amazing darling."
"Lauren you look bloody fantastic ... keep being you lovely," another added.
Someone else commented: "Love lauren so much, she deserves all things good in life."

Lauren, 38, gave birth to her daughter Larose in July 2021 with Charles Drury. The pair also had a baby, Lorena, in July 2022, who sadly passed away at just two days old.
After confirming her return to Towie for series 33, Lauren revealed to Closer: "It's baby steps at the minute, but I'm having a real nice time."
She continued: "I'm so glad I've gone back, and it goes to show people who might have something negative to say, that I hold the power.

"The way production speak to me – they make me feel like royalty. It's like they're in awe, it's a lovely atmosphere."
She continued by saying it will take "a long time to heal" from the tragedies she's endured in her life but going back to her "reality TV show roots" is providing comfort.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1. The Only Way Is Essex is available to watch on ITVX.

Kylie Jenner unleashes animal instinct in busty bikini amid Timothee Chalamet breakup rumors
Kylie Jenner unleashed her animal instinct in a barely-there leopard print bikini for a sizzling new set of Instagram posts. She fired up her Stories this Tuesday to offer her 393 million followers a glimpse behind the scenes at her latest modeling shoot. In one photo, the 28-year-old lip kit mogul showed off her amply endowed cleavage and enviably chiseled midriff in the slinky two-piece. The Kylie Cosmetics tycoon wrapped a towel round her waist and slid into a set of fuzzy slippers, slinging on a royal purple purse with snakeskin stitching. Her Stories that day also included a selfie video, in which the shot ran up and down the length of her body to show off her swimsuit as she giggled with a colleague. While she allowed a peek into the mechanics of her workday, she kept her personal life veiled, maintaining her silence on her breakup rumors with Timothee Chalamet. Although the couple engaged in frequent public displays of affection early this summer, fans have observed they have not been seen out together in over a month. Pouring fuel on the speculation, Timothee neglected to wish his girlfriend a happy birthday on social media when she turned 28 on Saturday. Instead, he posted a famous photo of Muhammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston in 1965, accompanied by the caption: 'Dream Big.' Kylie then sent the conjecture into overdrive by posting Insta Stories showing she was listening to two breakup songs - Lover, You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley and Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying by Labi Saffre. Although they have not shied away from being glimpsed together in public, they have kept their relationship off social media, declining to post photos of each other. Yet early this summer, they were repeatedly spotted together at the front row of basketball games to watch his beloved New York Knicks play. This May, the pair walked the red carpet together for the first time before attending the 70th David Di Donatello Awards at Rome's iconic Cinecitta Studios. Kylie had accompanied Timothee to awards shows before, including the Oscars and the Golden Globes, but had previously let him walk the red carpet solo before appearing with him inside the ceremony. Shortly after the Golden Globes, an insider shared the reason that Kylie waited until after the red carpet to materialize at Timothee's side that night. 'Kylie didn't want to make it about them. She wanted this night to be all about Timothee, how it was intended to be,' the source told Page Six. In May an insider claimed the couple, who were first linked in April 2023 and went public with their romance that September, had 'gotten really serious,' via Us Weekly. 'They are practically living together at this point, as he stays at her house often when he is not working. He has been fully integrated into her life,' shared the source. 'They are in a really good place. He makes her feel calm and confident and it is a different relationship from what she has had in the past.' Kylie shares her two children, a daughter called Stormi, seven, and a son called Aire, three, with her amicable ex-boyfriend Travis Scott. She previously had a longtime relationship with Travis' fellow rapper Tyga, beginning when the latter was in his 20s and Kylie was a teenager.

Friends star Matthew Perry's onscreen mum tried to help as he succumbed to drug addiction
Friends and co-stars speak candidly about the friend they all lost in a heart wrenching new ITV documentary, Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy Matthew Perry 's on-screen mum Morgan Fairchild has revealed she tried to help him beat his addiction to drugs. In a moving documentary about the Friends star's mental health battles, Morgan and other pals speak candidly about the actor, who found global fame as joker Chandler Bing. Morgan, who played Chandler's mum Nora, says: 'I have flashbacks of that young man who would come bounding over on set like a big puppy dog, that's how I remember him. "I tried to reach out a little bit and let him know I was there for him, because I have had other people in my life who have had trouble with alcohol or drugs. I said, 'I'm here to talk if you would like to'.' Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman adds: 'I lost a friend in multiple ways. What's amazing is the outpouring from the fans who lost a friend too.' Matthew drowned in the spa bath at his Los Angeles home last October at the age of 54. After many years battling addictions to alcohol and drugs, he had fallen victim to a ketamine habit. There was an outpouring of grief from fans across the world, as well as co-stars including Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow. In documentary Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy, Morgan says: 'I remember when Matthew was first starting to go public with some of his issues. I was terribly proud of him.' Morgan, 75, also known for 80s US soap Falcon Crest, adds: 'It's hard to admit you've got any problem. He also wanted to help other people who were also struggling. Even in the midst of his own pain, he tried to reach out to other people.' The show also features updates on the trials of those allegedly involved in supplying drugs to Matthew. Five people were charged, including two doctors, as well as Matthew's PA Kenneth Iwamasa, who found him dead. Other celebrity contributors, meanwhile, include Simpsons voice Hank Azaria, who says Matthew helped him through his own battle with alcohol. Hank says: 'Matthew was the first friend I made in LA. I was 21, he was 16. We did a pilot that never saw the light of day. We became really good friends. We were like brothers for a long time.' He adds: 'The night I went into AA, Matthew brought me in. The first year I was sober we went to meetings together and he was a great support. He was so caring and giving and wise and he totally helped me get sober. "Most nights spent with Matthew you were crying laughing by the end. I really loved him. A lot of us who loved him felt like we lost him to drugs and alcohol a long time ago.' Morgan says Matthew's acting touched people 'all over the world'. She says: 'His legacy will be one of hope and joy and friendship and love.' Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy, Monday 18th August, ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm.

Would YOU wear this swimsuit? Raunchy reality star shocks with extreme bikini that seems to defy the laws of physics
It probably won't be your go-to outfit for a nip down to the beach with the kids. But Too Hot To Handle star Larissa Trownson made a case for some very skimpy swimmers as she took to Instagram on Wednesday. The Kiwi reality star, 29, uploaded a scorching photo gallery of herself perched on bathtub wearing the G-string two-piece, which featured little more than two ribbons of white fabric tied together by thin elastic. Sporting a rich mahogany spray tan, the lawyer revealed a generous glimpse of underboob as she sprawled suggestively for the camera. Her long brown hair cascaded past her shoulders, while a set of gold necklaces completed her look. 'Not your average bath bomb,' joked Larissa in the caption, before revealing that she was wearing a $38.00 bikini from Fashion Nova. Larissa rose to fame on season two of the hit show Too Hot To Handle, which aired on Netflix in 2021. The dating series follows a bunch of sexy singletons staying in a beachside mansion who must get through a four-week sex ban to win $100,000. Ever an open book, the bombshell has admitted to tweaking her appearance significantly over the years - receiving a breast enlargement, regular Botox and lip filler. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the social media siren said she's unashamed to speak about her cosmetic enhancements and wants to be 'transparent' to help other women. 'I think it's really important we're transparent about work we've had done, otherwise that helps portray unreal beauty standards especially for younger women,' she said. 'So I've always been upfront about it and I chose to have it, so I'm proud of it.' When asked to describe herself in three words, Larissa said she's 'brains and beauty'.
