Is Lauren Goodger planning Marbella trip to crash TOWIE special? #BringBackOurGirls #Entertain9jar via @myentertain9jar

The Only Way Is Marbs could see a blast from the past returning to the show

LAUREN Goodger has certainly been keeping everyone guessing about a return to TOWIE.
So when OK! Online heard from a trusted showbiz source that she was part of the Marbella special to launch series 12, we had to check it out.
Sadly, a TOWIE spokesperson confirmed that the show has "no plans to film with Lauren" when the cast flies out next week. Boo.

But despite the firm denial, those whispers keep coming that Mark Wright's ex will be jetting out to Spain very soon.

So what IS going on?
"There has been a lot of talk around Essex that Lauren is trying to get a group of girlfriends together for a trip to Marbella at the same time as filming for The Only Way Is Marbs," a source told OK! Online.

Lauren Pope will no doubt be slipping into a two-piece for The Only Way Is Marbs

"Whether she'll try to get into the show isn't clear, but it seems like a big coincidence."
We'd love to see Lauren, 28, lock horns over a cocktail with Mark's sister Jess, or have an awks stand-off with Lauren Pope over Tom Pearce.
And with Sam Faiers and Joey Essex having quit the show at the end of series 11, there's certainly room for the Lauren's Way boss.

Lauren has been working out a storm lately with a personal trainer.
She's also banned herself from eating meat, cut down on her drinking and is putting herself through a course of colonic irrigation sessions. Nice.
With all that effort, it would be a shame not to see you on screen, Lauren.
