Towie is back with a brand new series on ITV2 and ITVX later this year, and the cast are busy filming it now.
Lauren has been keeping fans up-to-date with how filming is going, and shared some sizzling swimsuit snaps.
Taking to her Instagram Stories she posted two pics of her looking incredible in her one-piece.
The beachwear showed off her curves, and her impressive tan.
Lauren wrote on one of the snaps: "Feel so much better with a tan.
"Can't wait to now get home to my baby."
Lauren made her comeback to Towie last year.
She is famously one of the original cast, and during her heyday was involved in some explosive storylines.
During her first stint on the reality show Lauren's main storyline was her on/off 10-year relationship with Mark Wright.
The former couple were involved in some huge bust-ups on camera and Mark, 38 - who is now married to Michelle Keegan - even proposed on the show.
Even though she shared the highs and the lows with viewers, Lauren added: "There is nothing I regret and nothing I would change."
NO EXPENSE SPARED
Meanwhile, The Sun recently revealed how bosses splashed out £150,000 on Towie's getaway to Portugal to celebrate the show's 15th anniversary.
The cast flew out earlier this month to shoot the new series.
Our show insider said at the time: "It's gearing up to be one of the show's most extravagant overseas shoots to date.

"Fans are being promised big moments, bold fashion, and plenty of unexpected twists.
"The cast themselves are already in prep mode – from glam squad bookings and outfit fittings to storyline planning.
"There's a real buzz building around this trip, and it's clear the team are treating it as a major tentpole in the Towie calendar."
The Sun revealed how the new series involves a production team of over 95 people, which makes it one of the largest international operations the show has ever undertaken.
The show is being filmed in a five star luxury resort that has only just opened.

Major boost for ITV daytime as THREE hit shows confirmed to return after Loose Women and Lorraine schedule chaos

ITV has been given a major boost amid the ongoing daytime TV chaos. Three huge shows have been confirmed to return after it was revealed that Loose Women and Lorraine would be undergoing major changes as part of cost-cutting measures. 5 5 5 Both programmes, which make up part of ITV daytime's output, will only run for 30 weeks and Loose Women will also be forced to ditch its studio audience. But whilst changes are afoot for those shows, three other programmes have been given a major boost with ITV planning to record brand new episodes of all three later this year. The Chase, Tipping Point and Deal or No Deal will all film brand new episodes later this year in a bid to keep them on-air until next year with new episodes that are already in the can across all three shows set to make their debuts over the summer. It is great news for viewers of Tipping Point as the show failed to record any more episodes last year sparking rumours it could be coming to an end. However, it was quickly clarified that the quiz show didn't film new episodes last year as a result of still having many unaired ones in the can that have been drip fed out across the last year. It will mark the first time that Ben has returned to the studio in almost two years to film new episodes. Elsewhere, Stephen Mulhern is gearing back up to film brand new editions of Deal or No Deal. A new full-length series will be recorded this autumn to air in 2026. But fans won't have to wait that long for new episodes with another series, which has already been filmed, set to commence later this year. Plus, The Chase, ITV's biggest quizzing output, is expected to film for four months, later this year. Tipping Point contestant goes viral over baffling quiz show answer that left viewers in hysterics The show's production company, Potato, are currently looking for crew to work on the programme from September through December. This news marks a positive step for quiz show fans after it was revealed that the rest of the daytime schedule would face an overhaul from next year. From January 2026, Lorraine, which is fronted by Lorraine Kelly, will air daily from 9.30am until 10am, a change from its current 9am to 10am slot. In a further change amid ITV's financial woes, it will now broadcast for only 30 weeks of the year meaning stand-in presenters who are often used in presenter Kelly's absence will no longer be needed for the remaining 22 weeks. Loose Women will broadcast fewer episodes - airing "on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year" say ITV. It is expected that a number of panellists will be given the boot as a result of the shake-up. Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. 5 5

Liberation review – fizzing tensions of historic Pan-African Congress

Activist movements aren't all speeches, protests and slogans. Revolutions are made by people – and those people are idealistic and messy and flawed. This is the truth at the core of Ntombizodwa Nyoni's ambitious new play marking the 80th anniversary of the Fifth Pan-African Congress in Manchester, a crucial moment in the postwar fight against colonial rule. It's a story that's both global and firmly rooted in the city, making it an ideal fit for Manchester international festival. Set in and around the Congress, Liberation follows the people behind the movement, including veteran activists George Padmore (Eamonn Walker) and Amy Ashwood Garvey (Pamela Nomvete) and future African politicians Kwame Nkrumah (Eric Kofi Abrefa), Jomo Kenyatta (Tonderai Munyevu) and Joe Appiah (Joshua Roberts-Mensah). We see their public speeches, their private discussions and their pub-room debates. There's a fizzing tension between solidarity and idealism on the one hand and ambition and interpersonal conflict on the other. Nyoni's script is alive to nuance and difficulty, staging knotty struggles between different genders, generations and regional loyalties, as well as prodding at complex ideas around political change and allyship. As young social worker Alma La Badie (an impassioned Leonie Elliott) observes, the Congress is a space of egos as much as principles, where righteousness coexists with hypocrisy. It's a play that is, by its nature, all talk. Yet Nyoni and director Monique Touko manage to inject the proceedings with some theatricality and verve, recognising that there is no true liberation without joy. Music (composed by Ezra Collective's Ife Ogunjobi) is central, soundtracking the jubilant entrance of Congress delegates and returning at key moments throughout. With so many people involved, some figures are inevitably given more space than others, but Nyoni deftly juggles the large ensemble of personalities and the strong cast flesh out even the smaller roles. Like the attractive interlocking hexagons of Paul Wills's set, evoking the worker bee designs found all over Manchester, the competing aims of the Congress eventually – if only temporarily – tesselate. In many ways, Liberation is a celebration of shared struggle, but one that makes vital room for complexity. At Royal Exchange theatre, Manchester, until 26 July

Hundreds of flights cancelled across Europe this week – with up to 36,000 Brits affected

FLIGHT cancellations across Europe are set to affect thousands of Brits heading abroad this week. Airlines including easyJet, Ryanair and Air France have been forced to cancel flights today and tomorrow due to French ATC strikes over working conditions and pay. 3 This means that as many as 200 flights to and from the UK will be impacted each day on July 3 and July 4, according to AirAdvisor. This works out to as many as 36,000 Brits. Ryanair has cancelled 170 flights in total, which is expected to disrupt over 30,000 passengers. The airline has also claimed that the strikes in France will disrupt passengers flying over French airspace too, en route to other destinations such as Greece and Spain. Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said: "Once again European families are held to ransom by French Air Traffic Controllers going on strike. "It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. "It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays." In comparison, easyJet has been forced to cancel 22 UK touching flights today and 38, so far, for tomorrow. Across Europe the airline has made 124 cancellations in total for today and 150 so far, for tomorrow. An easyJet spokesperson said: "As required by the French authorities (DGAC) easyJet proactively cancelled some flights in advance and customers were contacted directly with options to transfer to another flight for free or a refund. "While this is outside of our control, we will do all we can to minimise the impact of the strike action. Flight cancelled or delayed? Top tips for handling travel disruptions "On behalf of our passengers we are extremely unhappy with the strike action, particularly given the current performance of French ATC which has been the leading cause of airspace delays in Europe this summer. "Long term solutions must be found for our customers and crew who suffer repeated disruption." The strike, which is being led by UNSA-INCA and SNCTA unions, will involve 60-70 per cent of ATCs. Anton Radchenko, aviation expert and founder of AirAdvisor explained that the strikes will also cause the airspace to narrow, and as a result the backlog will spread quickly to hubs like Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester. He said: "What many travellers underestimate is how vulnerable short-haul schedules are to even minor disruptions. 3 "Unlike long-haul routes, where airlines often have contingency buffers, short-haul flights operate on tight rotations." For example, one delay in Lyon or Marseille could lead to a ripple effect that cancels a Stansted departure six hours later. He continued: "My top advice is to travel with full situational awareness. "If your itinerary connects through France or overflies its airspace, even to destinations like Italy or Spain, check with your airline daily, not just the night before. "Take screenshots of every notification, keep every receipt, and escalate immediately if your flight is cancelled. "Under EU261, you're owed assistance even if you're not owed financial compensation, but you have to know how to ask." New EU rules also mean Brits will now get less compensation if their flight is delayed. Plus, Ryanair has warned of record flight delays this summer. 3
