The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star split from her bad boy beau Joey Morrison over the summer after his prison sentence was extended following an incident behind bars but she has admitted their break up won't stop her from hanging with his relatives.

She told Closer magazine: "I'm still mates with Joey and his family and I see them all the time. Will I spend Christmas with them? We'll have to see what happens."

But the 31-year-old beauty is no stranger to spending the festive season away from her family as she views the feel-good time differently because her parents aren't together.

She explained: "My mum and dad aren't together, so in a weird way I tend to spend the time with my friends. I find it more fun, but I'll see my family too. I won't be cooking, though! I don't want the pressure and I'll probably be drunk so no one will want my food! Present wise, I'm not hard to buy for. I love socks and pyjamas."

Lauren has had her fair share of relationship woes over the years - having previously been engaged to Mark Wright - but this is the first year she's been single at Christmas.

She said: "I don't think I've ever been single at Christmas before. But I'm always busy with my social life, whether I'm single or not.

"I just want to have fun, bad boys can kiss my booty! I have lots of family and friends I like to excited about Christmas this year. Usually, I'm like, 'Why are people celebrating so early?' But I've had the festive spirit for ages! It's an excuse to go out and have fun and friends are trying to book me in to go out. I'll have to pace myself."
