How Lauren Goodger’s incredible bum has changed shape in the past 10 years
LAUREN Goodger's ever-expanding bum has long been a source of fascination for showbiz watchers.
The 33-year-old former Towie star showed off the gravity-defying rear on her drive last week - but as many have pointed out, her rear wasn't nearly so big ten years ago.
In fact, when Lauren first found fame appearing on Towie alongside then-boyfriend Mark Wright back in 2011, her curvy bum was nowhere to be seen.
Although she’s been accused of having bottom-boosting surgery numerous times, Lauren has always defended her colossal rear, insisting it comes from doing squats - not getting implants.
And she is even willing to have her buttocks X-rayed by scientists so the world can know the truth.
Speaking on This Morning last year, she told Holly Willoughby: “I have not had any implants in my bum. I have a normal body shape – but in the media they make me look different.”
She added to : “I’ve always been thick set and I’ve always had a big bum. That’s the way it is.
“I’ve just got a big a**e! Feel free to do any X-rays or scans or whatever you need to do to prove it. Fat transfers don’t last.
“You need to keep getting them redone and I’d be forever under the knife if that were the case!"
However, she admitted: “I had lipo and sculpting three years ago and that was it. My bum goes up and down with my weight.”
In 2015, fans were adamant Lauren had undergone a fat transfer – where a surgeon moves fat from the rest of your body and injects it into your bottom.
But Lauren insisted her rounded bum was all down to working out and religiously doing squats every day.
She said: “I do squats but that only counts for about 20 per cent of what you see. The other 80 per cent is weight training. Jumping is also a brilliant exercise to do as well.”
Speaking to The Sun Online, she continued: “I don't really care what people say about me these days. But I have to say I found [bum lift surgery rumours] entertaining.

“I thought it was quite a compliment for everyone to think that I must have had something done. I didn't mind that attention at all.”
Lauren flew to Turkey in 2018 to undergo laser liposuction to get rid of hard pockets of fat on her body.
After landing back, she headed off on a juicing retreat where she lost almost two stone in weight – meaning her bottom now looks even bigger than before.
While not everyone is a fan of her beloved “bubble butt”, Lauren said she's never felt more confident and admitted she would continue working hard to get her backside even bigger.
