She’s been unable to hit the balmy shores of Dubai, which has emerged as one of her favoured holiday spots.
But Lauren Goodger didn’t let her inability to travel abroad keep her down, as she was seen enjoying an evening at a bar with friends in Chigwell, Essex, on Tuesday.
The former TOWIE star, 33, put on a very busty display by stepping out in a plunging black crop top that showed off a generous glimpse of her cleavage.

Keeping her personal items in a black tasselled handbag, Lauren opted to keep her accessories to a minimum so that all eyes remained on her ensemble.

While a number of celebrities have made a beeline for such destinations as Spain, France and Portugal, Lauren will have to wait until she can visit Dubai once again.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) issued a blanket warning against all non-essential international travel in March.
And while the travel restriction was lifted for some 67 destinations from 4 July, with some of those air bridges since being recalled, Dubai wasn’t on the list.
Effective from 1 August, all visitors to the United Arab Emirates must have received a negative PCR COVID-19 test result within the 96 hours prior to their arrival.

Lauren came under fire last week after she was accused of enhancing her social media images with photo editing tools.
On Wednesday, she hit back at ‘vile, nasty, evil’ trolls in a lengthy rant.
The former TOWIE star vowed to be even more ‘successful, sexy and confident’ than ever after her followers criticised her for enhancing her appearance in a white bikini.

In a lengthy rant, Lauren wrote: ‘Please look at every other celebs page comments who are posting pics of them with @boombod and please look at mine!
‘Same brand and same pics! This is why I never take ANYTHING seriously what my “hating” followers say. They just want any excuse to hate and make vile, nasty, evil comments.’
Lauren has defended other celebrities such as Kylie Jenner- who was called out for a Photoshop blunder- and she has accused fans of fuelling hate out of jealousy.

She added: ‘Some people that follow me are just pure jealousy. It’s actually disgusting. Someone said I should never be allowed children and I’m mentally deranged.
‘I have PTs “professionals” (my a**e)! using their own profile by slagging me off and putting clown emojis over my face.
‘It’s any excuse to try and bring me down! But it’s so wrong. How dare you. But one thing about me is I will never let you win! You will never bully me to try and make your ugly selves feel better…’
