Lauren Goodger Hits Back At Mark Wright Over 'Hurtful' Claims

Lauren Goodger has hit back at her ex Mark Wright, after he slammed her on Twitter for accusing her of using his and Michelle Keegan's relationship to earn money.

In a statement released by the former TOWIE star, it is revealed Lauren finds the whole situation very 'hurtful'.

“Mark is right – this situation is incredibly embarrassing. Week after week Lauren has to suffer endless source story lies printed about her in the press surrounding Mark. The list is as long as it is ridiculous,” her rep said in the statement.

“It’s hurtful for Lauren to constantly be painted in this way and for readers to actually believe it. That is why Lauren has taken to her own column in the past to defend herself against ludicrous claims such as the one that said she was going to gatecrash the wedding,”

“Anyone facing such embarrassing lies week in and week out is of course going to want to defend themselves.”

The statement goes on to add that Lauren has in fact got a boyfriend of her own.

“Lauren has privately been in a relationship too and this unwanted attention surrounding her ex of many years ago is certainly not welcomed,” her rep continued.

“We would like to clarify that Lauren is paid the same weekly fee for her column every week whether it mentions Mark or not, and she has given no other interviews on him – despite the numerous offers. She once again wishes them nothing but the best.”

And so the plot thickens...
