She told the Sunday Mirror: 'I felt under so much pressure. Most of the girls on TOWIE are quite skinny... Next to the others, I’d be panicking over whether my arms looked fat or how big I’d look if I was sitting down.
'I’d even beg producers to let me sit at a table so I could hide my legs underneath.'
Lauren is now looking forward to 'a break' after constantly struggling with her weight issues since rising to fame on the reality show.
Final scenes: She announced during the season six finale on Wednesday that she would be 'going away for a while'Since being put in front of the public eye Goodger has been subjected to internet trolls who have targeted over her fluctuating weight.
