Lauren Goodger undergoes surgery to remove three moles, health update from hospital

Lauren Goodger underwent surgery to have three moles removed on Thursday, providing a health update from hospital. The former TOWIE star, 39, said the moles had changed during pregnancy and urged followers to check their skin. She posted that she would have 'an early morning tomorrow' before arriving in a surgical gown for the procedure.

She later posted a photo from her Instagram Story showing a scar, and explained the process: one mole was cut out and removed as it was deep rooted and is being sent to a lab for testing. She added that 'maybe a few more soon' and that results, with stitches, would come in two weeks.

Earlier this month, Goodger opened up about anxiety attacks that forced a family holiday to be cut short. She said she had been left drained trying to hide her health woes from her daughter, Larose, four.

The mother and daughter enjoyed time in the sun at a mystery location earlier in the week, but she returned home for 'self-care and healing.' She has previously spoken publicly about living with anxiety, body dysmorphia, taking antidepressants and having panic attacks. In 2020, she described her first therapy session in an Instagram video, and later joined Channel 5's Celebrity: In Therapy in 2017.
