The 29-year-old former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has had an "amicable" separation from Jake and is now ready to get on with her life.

In a statement published on the MailOnline website, a spokesman said: "We can confirm that Lauren and Jake have split up. The break was amicable and there was no-one else involved. Lauren is feeling positive and looking forward to the future."

Lauren - who announced in January this year that she had lost four stone in weight - started dating Jake in 2012 and after splitting in 2013 they rekindled their romance two years later.

In October 2015 the pair split again, shortly after Lauren made the bold decision to tattoo the hunk's name on her wrist.

Rumours were rife the romance had hit the rocks after the 'Lauren's OMG! Workout' DVD maker deleted all traces of Jake from her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The actual date of the split is not known but Lauren uploaded a cryptic message to Instagram on Saturday (30.04.16), which read: "Stay exclusive. Don't be everywhere ... Don't involve yourself with just anyone ... Leave a little mystery to your night."

Lauren was shot to fame on 'TOWIE' when it first aired in 2010 but left the show after series six to appear on 'Dancing On Ice'.

Her high-profile relationship with co-star Mark Wright - who she was with for 11 years - was the main focus of the first two series of the reality show until they split in 2011.

Mark, 29, is now married to former 'Coronation Street' actress Michelle Keegan.
