She faced a cruel backlash after suffering jibes about her weight when holiday snaps from her Miami trip appeared online.

But Lauren Goodger has taken matters into her own hands, and dropped a noticeable amount of weight over the past few weeks with the help of the Cambridge diet.

Lauren admitted that she felt motivated to start the regime when she saw the unkind things people were saying abut her figure.

The TOWIE star, 25, said: 'It does get you down. I think people forget that I’m a real person with feelings.'

Lauren confessed that the public reaction to pictures of her after the National Television Awards tipped her over the edge, shattering her confidence.

She explained: 'For whatever reason, the red carpet pictures went live straight away and there were all these Tweets telling me I looked so bad.'

'I had to put a brave face on, but I had a bit of a cry in the toilets.'

'I’d think I looked alright, then I’d catch sight of a picture of myself… I couldn’t relax,' she told Grazia magazine. '

'I couldn’t even eat because I knew someone would take a picture, then it would be, ‘OMG! Lauren stuffs her face’.'

Lauren explained to New! magazine a few weeks ago that she was keen to drop weight in time for her next holiday.

She said: I want something quick because I’m going away again soon. I want to go to Marbella and Ibiza and when I’m walking around I want everyone to go, ''My God, have you seen Lauren?'' The quick fix will act as a motivator for me.'

The Cambridge diet was developed after eight years of research by the University of Cambridge and the West Middlesex and Addenbrookes Hospitals in the 1970s.

It involves a very low calorie diet of soups, bars and shakes and is combined with minerals, vitamins and fatty acids to reduce the loss of nutrients typical of low calorie restriction.

Energy intake levels can be as low as 415 kcal per day.

The body is pushed into a state of ketosis where the body breaks down fat for its energy rather than glucose.

She explained: 'Back then, I had a very structured life. Then suddenly, we were filming all hours, constantly partying and the weight crept on.'

The pressure of being in the public eye naturally makes Lauren far more self-conscious than she would be otherwise.

.The reality is that the industry I’m in means that normal doesn’t cut it, so I have to be smaller. I have to diet to be smaller,' she said.
