Lauren Goodger goes braless in a knitted co-ord as she poses for snap with ex Charles Drury on their family holiday after clarifying the nature of their relationship

Lauren Goodger went braless in a knitted co-ord as she posed for a snap with ex Charles Drury on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.

The former TOWIE star, 39, put on a united front with Charles as they snapped a mirror selfie during their sun-soaked vacation - after clarifying the nature of their relationship.

Lauren, who also took their four-year-old daughter Larose on the holiday, looked incredible as she slipped into the black and white crochet two-piece.

The co-ord consisted of a tie front top and chic trousers, which she revealed were from Asos. 

Meanwhile, Charles opted for a blue top over a white long sleeve and navy shorts. 

Last week, Lauren opened up about the status of her relationship with Charles after sharing a picture of the trio all wearing matching blue in a sweet family snap.

She explained: 'Just for our daughter we do family holidays, making memories for her'.

Three years ago Charles was accused of attacking Lauren on the day of their daughter Lorena's funeral.

Charles was then charged with assault and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards Lauren, which he has always denied.

Lauren gave birth to Lorena in July 2022 but she sadly passed away just minutes afterwards after being delivered with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck.

Despite their turbulent relationship, Lauren and Charles seemed to be back on track last year, when they were pictured enjoying another family getaway with daughter Larose.

At the time sources claimed that pals were concerned that Lauren was 'planning a future' with her ex.

However, earlier this year Charles reportedly stunned pals by joining a dating app, using his fame and daughter in a bid to attract women.

Images appeared to show Charles' profile on a dating app, where he lists Larose, four, as his 'greatest strength' while also directing users to his Instagram page, which has 73,000 followers.

Last month, Lauren announced she was releasing a new book about the 'unimaginable' death of the pair's daughter Lorena as Lauren said she wished to help others by sharing her experience.

Sharing a photo of her autobiography on Instagram, Lauren wrote: 'I am so pleased to finally tell you all that I am releasing a book! Mum Of Two will be on sale in July.

'As you all know, my eldest, Larose, is the light of my life. She loves to be the centre of attention, just like me.

'But my youngest, Lorena, is harder to picture. I never heard the sound of her laugh, or her cry.

'I am writing Mum of Two as when the unimaginable happened, I couldn’t find a book that helped me during the most difficult times after losing my newborn baby.'

'This is my story of loss and grief, and of finding my courage and strength.'
