Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger says her baby daughter Larose is "on the mend" following a health scare this week.
Lauren, 35, called in a doctor after she and the one-year-old were struck by a mystery illness for a week, which had left them both feeling "so under the weather".
The mum told her Instagram followers on Tuesday that she originally thought her little girl had chicken pox and then hand, foot and mouth disease, before Lauren herself took ill.
She said in a post: "Larose picked something up last week and I thought it was chicken pox, and then hand, foot and mouth.
"I also have whatever she has really bad now, it's been a week and we are both so under the weather.
She continued: "I've kept us dosed up but I think a doctor is what we need now. I feel worst this morning than I have all week."
Lauren concluded the post to her Instagram stories with a long hashtag, which spelled out "really could do without this".
Lauren has since updated her 854,000 followers by sharing a video of Larose.
The tot is seen smiling while sat in a high chair eating raspberries in the Instagram Story, which is captioned: "We on the mend".
Ex-TOWIE star Lauren, who has also appeared on reality shows Dancing on Ice, Celebrity Big Brother 14 and Celebs Go Dating, has had a "traumatic" time in recent weeks.
Last month, she tragically lost her newborn daughter Lorena the day she was born.
She was thenallegedly assaultedand taken to hospital hours after her daughter's funeral.
Days before Lorena's tragic passing, Lauren's ex-boyfriend Jake McLean, who she dated on and off for five years,was killed in a horrific car crash in Turkey.
Lauren opened up about the "horrendous terrible whirlwind" to her online followers, writing: "During this traumatic time I've lost but I've also gained some values in this awful heartbroken time … some new friends and become closer to my current ones & some family."
She added: "It really has shown me who is meant to be in my life and I love each and every one one of you thank you .. I only have a few and that's all I need and it's taught me some life long lessons however hard it's been."
A source told OK! that Lauren had vowed to "start a new chapter" and put these "awful months" behind her.
The source said: “It’s been one thing after another for Lauren. After everything that’s happened, she was hiding away and not going anywhere.
"But now she’s slowly starting to get back to doing normal everyday things because she knows she can’t hide away forever, and it wouldn’t be good for her.
“She’s enjoying quality time with Larose, who is her priority and is keeping her strong."
