Lauren Goodger’s two-year-old daughter Larose rushed to hospital as reality TV star talks ‘worst two nights’


Lauren Goodger has said that she’s had to rush her two-year-old daughter Larose to A&E, and has spent the last two nights with the tot in hospital - which she has described as “the worst”.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star, aged 37, shared a series of photos to her Instagram Stories earlier today (Friday May 31), in which she told her 951,000 followers of her young daughter’s health scare. The first image was of Larose’s pushchair while in the waiting room of A&E. The photo was captioned: "A&E with my baby girl. Been the worst two nights."

She has had steroid and mask with pump to open her breathing. Today being sick and the temp and breathing like she's running." It’s not clear if Goodger is still in hospital with the youngster, but as her last update was around lunchtime it is likely Larose is still receiving treatment.
The hospital dash comes only a few weeks after mum Goodger last told her fans that her daughter was unwell. At the time Goodger, whose second daughter Lorena died two minutes after being born in July 2022, admitted that she “feared the worst” during Larose’s three-day health battle.
Larose became poorly with a virus, which sent her temperature sky high, and Goodger said that she didn’t sleep for days as she cared for the tot. Two weeks ago she wrote on social media to say “my little princess is finally better”. She continued: "No temperature tonight and went to bed without any medicine as her temperate is normal. We even popped to the park today. That was three days and three nights of hell. Let's hope no temperature in the night tonight and the virus has gone.
"It was a virus but that's all the doctor said. Just had to use calpol and nurofen. Let's hope for a good night sleep for us both. Thank you for all the messages. I am full of anxiety when my baby is not well. In constant fear of the worst."

Goodger was left "broken" after she lost their second daughter Lorena in July 2022. In an emotional Instagram post at the time, she said: "She was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister @babylarose.x. Words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth too for my angel to be taken from me."
Last month, the star opened up about her loss on ‘This Morning’. She said: "I went through a very traumatic time, sort of lost myself completely. I was sort of in the healing process, which I still am. But I was just . . . all I could be was a mum, nothing else, I wasn't interested in work. But now this is a new year, and I feel that I found who I am again, I completely lost myself."
Goodger has also spoken out about her relationship with Drury, and has said the former couple have remained friends after going through so much pain together. She said: “It has not been easy, but we're at a place at the minute where it is running smoothly. Charles sees Larose very regularly. . . We're at a good place. We're friends. We're making it work because the priority is Larose. She sees us both equally, and that's what I don't want to change. Regardless of the situation of our relationship, I would never stop her seeing her dad.”
