Lauren Goodger cuts a stylish figure as she joins her TOWIE co-stars to film her final scenes after delighting fans by returning to the show

She delighted fans by returning to the show after an eight-year absence.

But it appears that Lauren Goodger's much-anticipated return to The Only Way Is Essex is already drawing to a close, as she was spotted filming her final scenes with her co-stars on Friday. 

The star, 37, who was an inaugural cast member of the hit reality show, opted for stylish khaki trousers and a long-sleeved white top as she headed out for dinner at the Lokum Restaurant.

Lauren carried a white Chanel bag with a gold chain and draped an elegant white jacket over her shoulders.

She expertly matched the bag with gold earrings, rings, and bracelets, and gold high heels.

She was joined in her scenes by the likes of Sophie Kasaei, Jordan Brook, and Lauren's best friend Junaid Ahmed

Junaid helped Lauren move into her new home in early April and on Saturday he went shirtless under a hot pink blazer. 

Lauren and Junaid posed with Danni Imbert who put on a very racy display in a black dress with a very busty cut-out.

Sophie and Jordan looked loved-up as Sophie gazed adoringly at him as the two held hands sporting matching trainers.

Sophie showed off her gorgeous curves in a lovely one shoulder black jumpsuit which she wore with a stylish bag.

Jordan also looked great in an unbuttoned camel-coloured overcoat he wore over an all-black outfit. 

In what's been dubbed The Lauren Effect, TOWIE earned its highest ratings in three years after she returned to the show last month. 

The series 33 premiere attracted a massive 407,000 viewers to the much-loved ITVBe show. Additionally, the new series has been streamed a total of 1.2million times.

By comparison, the first episode of series 31 attracted 300,000 viewers, the first of series 30 was watched by 319,000 viewers and the first of series 29 got 397,000. 

And she certainly made a bang, with reports she angered her ex-flame Mark Wright, with whom she had a decade-long relationship, after making revelations about their time together.

Lauren previously spoke about how happy she was to be back with the Essex gang during an appearance on This Morning.

'It feels weird because it's so long ago but coming back to the show it feels like I never left,' she told Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond on the ITV show.

'I feel like the same Lauren again, it's really weird.'

In the time she was away from TOWIE, Lauren had two daughters with Charles Drury: Larose, two, and Lorena who sadly died shortly after birth.
