You can’t not have noticed The Only Way Is Essex ‘star’ Lauren Goodger telling anyone who will listen,or photograph her, that she has lost a bit of weight.

The reality diva – who recently was forced to leave the show briefly after throwing a massive tantrum because she wasn’t being given the star treatment that she, and only she, thought she deserved – has been papped looking quite a bit trimmer than usual on her recent trip to Marbella to film the TOWIE summer special, The Only Way Is Marbs.

Whilst over there she fought off the attentions of some premiership footballers (if you can imagine her fighting off any attention!), and laughed off pictures of her kissing Tottenham Hotspur player, Jake Livermore, as nothing, apparently much more fussy now she has shed a few pounds!

However, according to the Daily Mail Newspaper, Lauren’s figure transformation is not a bid to be as skinny as some of her trimmer, more likable, female co-stars, but in actual fact a body building exercise.

According to the paper, the rejected fiancée of former co-star, Mark Wright, has revealed she is aiming to have a six-pack like her Essex counterpart, Jodie Marsh, and that:  ”I don’t want to be skinny, I want to be fit”

Not content with the pictures and the revelations, Goodger took to social networking site, Twitter, to show off her slimmer, flatter stomach (cutting her head out of the picture, so we couldn’t see her blue face while she sucked in), wearing nothing but lingerie.

Alongside the picture,Goodger wrote the caption: ’Just been gym I want 6 pac loool not there yet little way 2 go I don’t want be skinny I want be fit!!x’.

And, never one to miss a photographing opportunity, Goodger has been seen leaving this gym a couple of times this week already, so she is obviously serious about swapping her curves for muscles, for now anyway!
