'I feel many mixed emotions. SO proud of myself as I was awake most of the night thinking shall I just not go...

'As I hug my baby felt like I was awake all night kissing her, she is nearly 4 years old and I've never ever left her to go away or do anything for me.'

She continued: 'Thank you @ITV @itvoffical and all of the TOWIE family @towie for helping me with this and most importantly something I'm going share with you very soon that's helped me come this far.'

Despite her early morning fears, Lauren appeared upbeat as donned a beige co-rd and Hermes sandals for the flight.

She toted her belongings in a brown Chanel bag and a personalised suitcase with her initials 'LG' printed on the front.

Lauren opted for a bouncy blow dry and a glam palette of make up. 

She was joined by happy couple Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman, who both were dressed in hoodies and shorts.

TOWIE have reportedly splashed £150,000 on a cast getaway to celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary.

Fan favourites will stay at the five-star resort in the Algarve for a two-week trip.

Filming is set to begin on June 6, with fan favourites staying at the five-star resort in the Algarve for a two-week trip.

There is expected to be a production team of over 95 people involved, which makes it one of the largest international operations the show has ever done.

The Westin Algarve has been chosen as the cast’s base. 

The five-star resort is expected to serve as the stunning backdrop for much of the upcoming drama.

Producers have flown out ahead of schedule in search for the best beach clubs, bars, and party hotspots across the Algarve.

The show bosses sees Portugal as the most ideal location – with the sunny spot only a short 2.5 hour flight from the UK.
