Lauren Goodger has hit back at claims she’s preparing to be a single mum as she prepares to welcome her first child with boyfriend Charles Drury.

The former TOWIE star, 34, who revealed earlier this week she’s expecting a baby girl, said she and Charles are already making plans to have more children and they’re ‘really content’ in their romance.

It comes after Lauren revealed that Charles will have control over her birthing plan and has been ‘very involved’ during her pregnancy.

Speaking in her new column for OK! Lauren hit back at claims that she’s already fearing the prospect of becoming a single parent if she and Charles split.

She said: ‘Well, I can say I’m really happy in my relationship with Charlie, we’re really content and you can see how much he’s into this. We’ve done this together.

‘There’s no intention of a split ever happening and we’re already talking about more babies. But, who knows what the future holds?! But that’s not in my plans. 

‘My plan is to be with Charlie, have more babies and get married.’

In her column Lauren also explained that after having a visit from her midwife she’s still planning a water birth, but is now hoping to deliver her baby girl at home so her beau Charles can be present.

The star added that despite the classic pregnancy concept of ‘eating for two’ she’s struggled with a low appetite since first learning she was expecting.

It had previously been reported by Heat magazine that Lauren was concerned about the prospect of raising her daughter as a single parent should she and Charles split up.

They said: ‘Lauren’s not stupid. She knows she could end up a single mum. As much as she loves Charles, she’s really struggled to find a lasting relationship since splitting from Mark [Wright] in 2011.

‘She knows that having a baby isn’t a guarantee it’ll work. She knows that – whatever happens – she can be a single mum and is strong enough to cope if she has to.’

The TV personality previously revealed her boyfriend, 23, will have control over her birthing plan as they prepare to welcome their first child together.

She revealed the builder has been ‘very involved’ during her pregnancy and insisted he’s ‘much more emotional’ than her.

The mother-to-be, who recently confirmed she’s expecting a girl, said: ‘He’s very involved. You know the birth and how it’s normally up to the mum? Well, I have to ask Charlie!’

On how her beau reacted to the baby news, the businesswoman told new! magazine: ‘He cried! He said, ”I’m really happy it’s a girl now, I’ve got a real soft spot for a girl.” Charlie couldn’t wait to tell his family and friends.’
