Lauren Goodger’s boyfriend Charles Drury secretly met up with lookalike

Lauren Goodger’s boyfriend Charles Drury invited another woman round for sex during the new mother’s back during their brief break up.

The former TOWIE star, 35, and her builder boyfriend, 24, split in November last year just months after their baby daughter Larose was born.

Lauren lookalike Amy Gilbert, 24, has now claimed that Charles reached out to her during their break and they began sleeping together before he reunited with Lauren.

She said Charles reached out to her via direct message on Instagram and invited her to his home in East London for sex, before spending a weekend together.

Amy told the Sun: ‘We were messaging for a couple of days on there and then he wanted me to go and meet him in a local place he was living – and I did.

‘I slept with him on that night, it was quite intense first of all, then he asked to see me again the following day. I then went and met him again.

Explaining that things quickly went south, Amy said: ‘The reason it all cut off was because I was round there and it must have been about half 12 at night. I saw Lauren kept popping up on his phone. I said to him “I understand you’ve got a baby together but what are you talking about at half 12 at night?”

Amy said that they had a bit of a ‘barney’ and Charles told her that he wants to have his daughter in his life. The next day she saw in the media that Charles and Lauren were back together.

Amy said she was disappointed he hadn’t been honest about his relationship with Lauren and claimed he repeatedly told her their relationship was ‘toxic’.

She revealed that she reached out to Lauren to tell her what had been going on and the reality personality replied telling her she would call her later.

However she never heard from Lauren and claims she only received a call from Charles asking her to ‘stop ruining his life’. They haven’t spoken since.

Charles told the Sun that his relationship with Amy was a ‘mistake’ and he ended things after deciding he wanted to sort things out with his family.

Earlier this month, Lauren and Charles looked more loved-up than ever before as they celebrated New Year’s Eve together on Friday night.

Lauren shared a slew of Stories of her and Charles kissing as they rang in 2022.

Over one snap, Lauren penned: ‘Happy new year love you @charlesdrury1’.

She confirmed she was back together with Charles after he announced last month that they’d called time on their relationship.

Their New Year’s celebration came after Lauren broke her silence on their brief break up in a defiant stance on their love life.

Detailing the ‘stressful’ split, Lauren told how having a new baby and moving home took its toll on their romance, with her boyfriend feeling ‘overwhelmed  with everything.’

Suggesting he was the one to step away from their relationship, Lauren added in her new! magazine column that he ‘had to take five minutes out’, before adding that the pair are ‘really good now’.

She explained: ‘Listen, moving house and having a baby are very stressful things. Having a baby, as well as it being a beautiful and amazing thing, really does test couples.

‘For Charlie, it’s a lot of change and I think he was quite overwhelmed with everything. As much as he loves me and Larose, he had to take five minutes out.’

The couple welcomed their daughter Larose in July this year, with the couple breaking up just four months later.

And after some reflection, Lauren explained how her partner ‘came home’ and ‘wants his family’.

Meanwhile, the reality star’s relationship was also tested when their daughter was taken ill and was rushed to hospital with suspected sepsis.

Detailing Larose’s illness, Lauren said: ‘The tests came back and they said, “She hasn’t got sepsis, she’s got a fever from an infection.” I was like, “Phew!” She was on antibiotics and a drip.’

Lauren went on to say how her girl was ‘more herself’ by day two and three, with a doctor telling her she needn’t ‘panic’ as it was ‘so common’ and babies ‘get ill 12 times a year’.

Lauren confirmed that she’s reconciled with Charles as she insisted she’ll love her boyfriend ‘forever’.

The couple made their relationship Instagram official once again as Charles shared a family snap to Instagram on Wednesday doting on daughter Larose during a winter stroll.

The star and her on-off beau could be seen gazing at their precious little girl who in turn looked up at them while resting in her pram.

Wrapped up in warm jackets, Lauren and Charles looked completely besotted with their daughter, who was dressed in a fluffy animal print number.

Charles captioned the snap: ‘Here with you is where I belong, our love so strong, an unbreakable bond♥️’, to which Lauren commented: ‘Love our little lady so much and that man there forever’.
