Lauren Goodger gets ready for her first Christmas with baby Larose after gruelling Covid battle

LAUREN Goodger has been spotted out and about with adorable baby daughter Larose as they prepare for her their Christmas together.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star appeared in high spirits as she was seen out shopping following her gruelling battle with Covid earlier this month.

Lauren, 35, looked glamorous as she took a trip out in Essex with first child Larose - who was born in July - tucked up in her baby carrier.

The star opted for a full palette of make-up, included chiselled brows and a nude lip, and dressed up for the occasion in a large faux-fur coat.

She opted for comfortamble sports leggings and trainers to complete her all-black outfit, which matched well with her daughter's carrier.

Proud mum Lauren could been seen tending to little Larose, placing a muslin blanket over her to keep her warm in the wintry weather.

The reality favourite appeard happy and healthy as she smiled for the camera on her Christmas Eve outing, where she looked to be visiting family.

It comes days after Lauren revealed she, her boyfriend Charles Drury and baby Larose had all tested positive for coronavirus.

The mum-of-one shared a video of baby Larose on the bed and a snap of their three tests, writing: "My unwell baby. Us 3 are all sick with Covid."

Lauren and Charles reunited at the beginning of the month three weeks after splitting up.

Their brief time apart came after the stress of a scary hospital dash that saw Larose taken seriously ill and requiring urgent care from doctors.

At the beginning of the year, Lauren, 35, said she wasn't going to be vaccinated and claimed she'd already had Covid.

The former Towie favourite admitted that she was "terrified" of getting a Covid vaccine - which the UK was the first country to approve at the end of last year.

Lauren explained: "I am more scared of the vaccine than I am of the virus. I will start imagining that I am dying, I am terrified."
