It would seem that  Tom Pearce isn’t the only Essex lad interested in Lauren Goodger as  Charlie King  tried his luck with the salon owner on Wednesday night as well!

During Wednesday night’s The Only Way Is Essex, both Essex boys moved in for the kill with the Mark-Wright-reject, diva wannabe.

First off was Charlie, whose last romantic interest on the show was Gemma Collins, told Goodger that he thought she was ‘lovely’ and that he thought she could help him sex up his image.

He said: ‘I’ve always thought you a lovely girl… I’m ready for rebirth and I wanna sex up my image a little bit. Maybe we get to know each other a bit…’

Goodger didn’t seem very interested though (that’s gratitude for you) and made poor Charlie feel very uncomfortable when Tom Pearce joined them and made it pretty clear that she was his.

Pearce, who spilt up with Lauren Pope last week due mainly to his wandering eye, was papped snogging Goodger recently, the day after he was photographed kissing  The Bachelor contestant Khloe Evans.

However that didn’t seem to put off Lauren who wasted no time in telling her co-stars (we wouldn’t insult them by using the word friends here) Billi Mucklow, Frankie Essex and Cara Kilbey all about it during the last episode.

She said: “We just went to Faces. He said, “I always liked you. Its because you said no.” Then he kinda kissed me.”

Later that episode Tom and Lauren were  seen kissing behind a cowshed, with him telling her: “I’ve wanted to do that all day.”

Now that’s classy!

The Only way Is Essex can be seen Sunday and Wednesday nights at 10pm on ITV2/ITV2 HD.
