Lauren Goodger is pictured leaving prison after spending the day with her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison
LAUREN Goodger was spotted looking downcast leaving Highpoint South Prison after spending the day with her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison.
The Towie star wore all black and wrapped against the cold in a puffy jacket as she made her way home after an afternoon with her beau – who she got together with while he was in prison.
Joey is currently serving a sixteen year prison sentence in the jail for a series of charges including aggravated burglary and possession of a firearm.
However, Lauren has stood steadfast by his side and now even has a tattoo of his name on her wrist to signify their permanent love.
Lauren, who had her first ever date with the jailbird while he was on day release, has also been forward with the idea of wanting to have children when he gets out.
During an episode of In Therapy, which aired on Wednesday night on Channel 5, Lauren said: ““I think he will a good dad [but] people are saying wait until he’s out.
“I want to get married and have children. I want a beautiful household with lots of love and affection.
“I want to have quite a few children, four [or] as many as I can.”
Lauren’s friend Jodie, who appeared on the show, explained: “She wants to have a baby while he comes out on day release so she’ll be doing the pregnancy all by herself.
“I don’t think she sees it like he’s in prison, I think she sees it like he’s coming out soon.”
During the show, she admitted that she believed that Joey would be out this year after serving half of his term.
She said: “This is the weirdest relationship ever but it’s exciting and I think that’s what I like.
“Is this the right one? I hope so, it’s how I feel. I like the good qualities in him.
“A bad boy never cheats, they’re loyal, strong, family men – they’ve got a bit of a naughty side to them.”
She also stood up for him online before the show aired to defend allegations that he was ‘controlling’ and in
sisted it’s not the case, but he DOES advise her on “how to conduct herself” in regards to her “gym and diet” routine, as well as the “things she talks about”.
Sharing a montage of photos of Morrison, she addressed the claims her man is “controlling”, and wrote: “That’s not been said in a bad way but in the way he wants me to conduct myself with regards to the things I talk about and telling me to stick to the gym/diet etc.
“Which I actually find encouraging. He is not controlling as in I am not allowed to do things.”
Lauren also insisted she is not “glamorising crime” by dating him.
She finished the note and added: “I wasn’t sure on doing the show and I did it and I’m please I did thank you @knickerbockerTV @channel5_tv ..
“i hope you can all relate to me a little bit more, I’ve had to deal with a lot and hide a lot .. I would never upset anyone. I’m a normal girl with a love inside x Love you all.” (sic)
