They told the publication: "Lauren is in final talks to make a sensational Towie comeback.
“She’s got a few more weeks filming Celebs Go Dating and will then rejoin the hit ITVBe show full-time if the storyline is right.”
The insider also claimed Lauren - who is busy working on the E4 dating show alongside the likes of Megan Barton-Hanson and Lee Ryan - is keen to prove once and for all that she's over her jailbird ex, Joey Morrisson.
Lauren’s spokesman said: “Lauren is busy filming celebs go dating and is not in any talks to return to TOWIE at present.”
The source continued: “Lauren wants to return to show viewers she has long since moved on from Mark Wright and her jailbird ex Joey,” the insider said.
“She’s in a really great place and wants to get her career back on track.
"Even though she’s on Celebs Go Dating, it is the first time in her life she doesn’t feel like she needs a man.
"She wants to focus on herself and her career.”
