TOWIE's Lauren Goodger works up a sweat in low-cut gym gear as she heads to a reformer Pilates class

Lauren Goodger snapped a sizzling Instagram selfie on Monday as she prepared to work up a sweat at a reformer Pilates class in Essex. 

Slipping into a low-cut black gym top and matching leggings, the The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) star, 40, looked on fine form as she perched atop a Pilates reformer ahead of her class.

Ever the glamorous Essex girl, Lauren sported a full face of makeup for the workout, while sweeping her brunette locks into a ponytail.

The reality star, hailed the class as 'my happy place', also snapped a similar mirror selfie ahead of setting off for the morning.

Ahead of tying her hair up, Lauren's tresses cascaded over her shoulder for the snap, while she added a cropped black hoodie for warmth amid the unpredictable British weather. 

Lauren's workout session comes after she left little to the imagination as she wowed in a black lace corset top for a night out at Sheesh restaurant last month amid her continued birthday celebrations.

Dressing up for the evening, Lauren showed off her surgically enhanced assets in the racy plunging top from Zara. 

She paired the top with black figure-hugging trousers and black heels and opted for a glamorous makeup look. 

Marking her 40th birthday earlier in September, she penned: 'HBD to me. Onto the next era and feeling like this one hopefully will be the best.'

Her recent celebrations come after she broke down on a recent TOWIE episode as she revealed she wants another baby after the heartbreaking death of her newborn and two miscarriages. 

The TV personality gave birth to her second daughter in July 2022, but she sadly passed away just minutes after she was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. She also shares daughter Larose, five, with ex Charlie Drury.

Lauren has previously revealed that she and Charlie fell pregnant twice after their baby Lorena's death but she suffered heartbreaking miscarriages both times.

And in a scene from TOWIE in August, Lauren broke down in tears at Sophie Kasaei's mother's blessing ceremony. 

Sophie, who was still pregnant when filming, hugged sobbing Lauren and said: 'You're allowed to cry, you've gone through so much, you know. And you stay so strong.'

Lauren explained she couldn't wait to meet Sophie's baby and added: 'And I'm just like enjoying this through you as well.'

Lauren went on to reveal she would like another baby and thanked God for her little daughter Larose.

Sophie said: 'How you can sit there for me and be strong for me with all the other girls and support me after what you've been through. Like you know, I'm so grateful for you for being there for us as well. Thank you.'

Sophie welcomed a baby boy named Brody with TOWIE co-star Jordan Brook earlier this summer.
