Pregnant Lauren Goodger shows off her DIY highlights after revealing she trained to be a hairdresser

She’s expecting her first baby with beau Charles Drury.

And Lauren Goodger treated herself to a lockdown pampering session on Friday, as she did ‘a bit of a DIY job’ on her hair to get some fresh blonde highlights.

The reality star, 34, also revealed she trained to be a hairdresser after leaving school, but admitted that she wouldn’t go back to the trade as she’s ‘not that good.’

‘Don’t try this at home!’: Pregnant Lauren Goodger revealed she’s done ‘a bit of a DIY job’ on her hair to get some fresh blonde highlights on Friday

Lauren looked radiant as she took to Instagram Stories to showcase the results of her attempt to play hairdresser at home. 

Explaining why her hair was looking quite a bit lighter she explained she’d had a go at freshening up her tresses and used a ‘bit of bleach and foils’.

She said: ‘Lots of people ask how I can go from dark to blonde, blonde to dark, and its because my natural hair is mousy, it always fades and comes through. 

‘But I have done a bit of a DIY job. Don’t try this at home! I have broke a bit of my hair.

‘I put a toner on it, a bit of bleach and foils. I actually trained to be a hairdresser when I left school, not that I’d continue in that trade as I’m not that good and up-to-date.’

Lauren continued: ‘So it’s lighter, but my natural hair was getting lighter anyway. I haven’t coloured my hair for a long time so it was just washing out and getting lighter and lighter… it will wash better and blend better. But hey ho!’

The mum-to-be also gave a glimpse of her growing bump as she lifted up her pink and white loungewear to showcase her stomach. 

It comes after Lauren shared glimpses of her first Valentine’s Day celebrations with beau Charles.

Lauren shared a loved-up snap of them together and pictures of the gifts he bought her – but did Lauren accidentally reveal her baby’s gender? 

The star also posted a picture of a scan picture she had put in a frame which she had bought Charles, 23, which had the word ‘girl’ written on it. 

Lauren has already said her child will be named after a flower if it’s a girl and the name she has chosen is ‘made up.’ 

The now deleted snap was noticed by eagle eyed fans who asked her: ‘Are you having a girl? Noticed a hint on your stories.’

Lauren replied: ‘No, I don’t know until next month, so there is no hint.’ 

Yet Charles gave Lauren a Valentine’s card from ‘the bump’, covering the name he had signed the card with, suggesting the couple could know it already.  

In another snap, Lauren showed off her bump in a red form-fitting dress as she sat on Charles’s lap. 

She also posed in a white dressing gown as she reclined at her dining table after Charles surprised her by filling the room with red heart-shaped balloons. 

He also arranged Ferrero Rocher’s in a heart shape on the table and bought lots of bunches of red roses.   

The cards the couple had bought one another were on display, with one rather playful one reading: ‘I love you with all my bum.’

Lauren wrote: ‘ Happy Valentines 2021 .. making memories and celebrating this day of love. Hope everyone is having a special day sending you lots of love xxxxxx thank you for all my messages.’

Charles wrote in the comments: ‘Happy Valentine’s Day beautiful mummy, we both love you loads❤️.’ 

Lauren also wrote on her Stories: ‘Happy Valentine’s to my boyfriend, best friend and baby [bumps] daddy. This day is for me and you and it’s the last Val day just us. Next time we will have our little bubba with us.’
