Lauren Goodger flouted social distancing rules over the weekend by hosting a party at her Essex flat with some friends during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 33-year-old was seen hosting a gathering as snaps from the shin-dig were posted on her friend John Haynes' Instagram page over the weekend.
A representative for the TOWIE star told the MailOnline that Lauren was unaware that she could not have friends at her house as she "didn't understand the guidelines".
It's been said Lauren claimed she broke lockdown rules partly due to "seeing other people doing the same on Instagram", but has since educated herself about what is and isn't allowed in terms of guidelines.
