For months, the pair have been fuelling rumours that they've rekindled their romance - and it looks like they're back on for good.
Lauren and Charles were snapped in the airport while heading on a family holiday.
The couple were accompanied by their three-year-old daughter Larose.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Charles first sent the rumour mill into overdrive when they took part in a TikTok together.
Joined by fellow Towi stars Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman, they all appeared on the platform for a live chat.
It was Lauren's first time doing a live video on the platform in over a year, and it had been even longer since she'd been seen publicly with Charles.
The Sun previously told how Lauren treated Charles to a luxury £250-a-night spa break after rekindling their romance.
A source told us: 'Lauren has whisked Charles away as a treat for his birthday.
"It's a stunning manor house in Stock, Chelmsford and it's a very romantic place.
"There's a pool, a fine dining restaurant, a gym and they even host weddings there.
Lauren Goodger fuels rumours she's back with ex as they have dinner with Towie co-stars
"Lauren really wanted to spoil Charles and while there are people who aren't sure about her getting back together with him, she isn't focusing on what others think and she's just following her heart.'
A rep for Lauren declined to comment.
The reality star previously reposted an Instagram story shared by Junaid Ahmed.
He captioned: 'Double dating @joeblackman_98 @laurengoodger @c.drury1.'
She and Charles spent the evening with Junaid and Joe at Indian restaurant Cinnamon in Epping.
Lauren was an original Towie cast member, featuring regularly from the show's 2010 launch until 2012.
After guest appearances in 2015 and 2016, she returned permanently from 2024 onwards.

American shoppers jealous after visiting Costco abroad... and sampling 'wild' food court menu items
Shoppers were full of jealousy after a TikTok user revealed food court offerings at a Costco in Japan. The TikToker, known as racquecitytravels, visited a Costco in Tokyo this month and ordered items like a 20-piece chicken stick bucket and matcha ice cream. 'If you have the time in your itinerary, I suggest spending an afternoon at your closest Costco trying out the different food court menu items & shopping around,' she wrote in her video caption. Other items commenters couldn't stop freaking out about on the food court menu included a jumbo Bulgogi Bake, melon smoothie, and the fan-favorite combo pizza, which has been discontinued in the US. Now that shoppers have gotten a hint of the location's menu, many of them are looking to visit Japan just to order one of its 'wild' offerings. 'I needed a reason to move … and this was the icing on the cake,' a commenter wrote. 'I would go into extreme debt shopping in the Japan Costco,' a shopper responded. 'Everything in Japan is just better than USA I'm starting to see that,' another Costco member added. Several TikTok users were stunned to see that matcha ice cream was available at Costco in Tokyo Out of over 900 Costco stores worldwide, Japan is home to nearly 40 locations as of this year. The first store opened in 1999 in Hisayama, Fukuoka Prefecture, and it wasn't an easy task in making sure it would be suitable for Japanese culture. 'We had to change some of our apparel. The sizing on men's shirts in Japan, Korea and Taiwan is entirely different,' Costco co-founder Jim Seinegal told the Seattle Times. 'Our Kirkland Signature shirt has an Asian cut to it, slimmer in the waist and smaller sizes.' Despite the changes, Costco was not afraid to bring some of its American-style menu options to menus, including its signature hot dogs. The Japanese stores are also full of Kirkland branded baked goods, which were described as a ' staple at Japanese supermarkets.' Besides the Tokyo store's scrumptious food court items, TikTokers went crazy for its toys, including its Godzilla figure. 'Godzilla figures at a Costco?! - I'm in the wrong country man,' a shopper commented. Several items ranging from KitKat bars to Godzilla toys are available to purchase at Costco stores in Japan Japan is currently home to nearly 40 stores. As of now, there are over 900 locations worldwide The US has the highest Costco store count worldwide, with more than 600 locations. Many of these stores have implemented changes recently that have ignited fury from shoppers. Backlash began last year after the chain hiked its membership prices for the first time in seven years. It got worse that December after the company announced its plan to replace Pepsi beverages with Coca-Cola. Some members claimed they'd boycott the store after the change was confirmed in January, and the situation worsened in March once the first Coca-Cola machine was spotted in a newly-opened California location.

The reality star's step-son shot and killed Dog's step-grandson - in what is believed to have been a tragic accident, TMZ reported.

The freak accident occurred on Saturday night. Dog, 78, is not directly related to Zecca or his tragic teenage son - since he was born during Francie's previous marriage. Police confirmed that they responded to a call about a shooting at around 8pm local time. READ MORE CELEBRITY NEWS DEATH RIDDLE Prime suspect in brutal cold case killing mysteriously found dead on hols No arrests have been made yet in what they described as an "isolated incident". An investigation into the circumstances of the horrific accident is still ongoing. A spokesperson for Dog and Francie told TMZ: "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony." Dog and his wife married in 2021 after each of their partners passed away. They said they bonded over their shared grief during their relationship. Zecca reportedly works with Dog on his bounty hunting team alongside Dog's daughter, Lyssa. Star Trek and Mission Impossible star who was married to late screen icon dies aged 97 Dog's step-son was also a gun enthusiast - and has previously shared photos of him "getting some range tine in" with his son and their rifle back in 2021. Reality personality Dog is a renowned bounty hunter and former bail bondsman. In a 2010 interview with The Guardian, Chapman revealed the hidden meaning behind his name. Chapman told the media outlet: "When I was in a motorcycle gang I was made sergeant of arms. "He's the smallest guy with the biggest mouth who starts all the fights. "The club president called me 'God spelled backwards' because I spoke about God and I was man's best friend. "In the bounty hunter world it turned into 'this dog can hunt'." Chapman rose to fame as a bounty hunter in 2003, after his successful capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico. He went on to catch more than 10,000 fugitives according to an interview published in The New York Times back in January of 2020. This is not the first time the bounty hunter has been plagued by a freak tragedy. The night before his wedding with former partner Beth in 2006, Dog received the horrific news that his daughter Barbara, 23, had been killed in a car accident while in a stolen SUV in Alaska. 6 Gregory pictured with his son Anthony 6 Anthony was reportedly killed in a freak accident More to follow...

Love Island fans slam Harrison's ‘scripted' apology as he reunites with Lauren on Aftersun after quitting villa
His behaviour came under fire from Women's Aid SORRY SIGHT Love Island fans slam Harrison's 'scripted' apology as he reunites with Lauren on Aftersun after quitting villa Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have slammed Harrison Solomon's apology on spin-off show Aftersun after he reunited with Lauren Wood. Harrison quit the villa on Friday in shock scenes just 24 hours after Lauren was dumped from the show. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Harrison stunned his fellow Islanders when he quit the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 He and Lauren were reunited on spin-off show Aftersun Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Maya Jama grilled Harrison on his time in the villa Credit: Shutterstock It followed his love triangle with her and Toni Laites, which drew criticism from charity Women's Aid. Aftersun host Maya Jama grilled Harrison over his behaviour in the villa last night after viewers watched him swap between the two girls with little consideration for their feelings. He even pleaded with Toni to pick him in a recoupling hours after having sex with Lauren. When Toni did choose him, Lauren was left in floods of tears and felt humiliated. While Toni begged him to stop messing with her feelings by continuing to flirt with Lauren. Speaking tonight, Harrison said he felt the point that his romancing of both girls went too far was after he'd slept with Lauren. "I think maybe when we did bits," he said. "Probably took it a little bit too far talking to Toni after that. "I obviously regret that massively and I apologise to both the girls but, yeah, it wasn't good for me." He then said if he had his time again he would have had up front conversations with Toni and Lauren earlier to save them getting upset. It followed his return to social media earlier in the day in which he said: "Back on home turf and carrying every lesson with me. What a whirlwind, confusing, raw, beautiful in parts, and deeply humbling. I entered with the intention not to hurt anyone. Love Island fans stunned as girl is brutally dumped after arrival of latest bombshell Angel "Truthfully, although I didn't manage that, I leave with a heart more open, and a soul willing to learn. Life isn't always easy, it's felt, it's flawed, it's full of growth. Thank you to those who saw the good in me even when I struggled to see it myself. This is just the beginning," But viewers weren't buying his latest apology, with one writing on X: "Harrison has CLEARLY wrote a speech and memorised it this is not genuine." Another said: "Harrison has gotten away with what he's done way too easily." A third posted: "Harrison's not sorry for sh*t." A fourth said: "Is anyone buying this with Harrison?" "Im glad no one clapped at Harrison's poor excuse of an apology." Prior to his villa exit, Women's Aid responded to the difficult scenes in the villa, criticising the ITV reality show for perpetuating misogyny and sexism. Jessye Werner, Communications Manager at the charity, acknowledged the efforts production companies have made to highlight toxic behaviours but stressed that more progress is necessary. She told The Tab: "Despite these positive steps, we still see unhealthy patterns of behaviour on these shows, showing just how steeped in misogyny and sexism our society still is. 'Women are often lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs. Misogyny and sexism lay the foundation for the tolerance of abuse and violence – it reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls. 'More must be done to educate contestants on sexism and misogyny, and it is a great credit to viewers who take to social media, continuing to call out these behaviours as soon as they see them.' Before entering the villa, ITV's Duty of Care protocol outlines training for Islanders in language, behaviour and understanding mutual respect in relationships. Programme contributors will be offered a full package of measures to ensure they are supported prior to, during and after the filming period on the show. A welfare team solely dedicated to the Islanders both during the show and after. Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
