Lauren Goodger celebrates first anniversary with jailbird boyfriend

Lauren Goodger celebrated her first anniversary with her jailbird boyfriend with a gushing Instagram post.
The former ‘TOWIE’ star can’t celebrate the special day with her beau Joey Morrison – who is currently serving an 18-year sentence for offences including kidnap, blackmail and burglary – but took to Instagram to post a picture of them kissing.
She captioned it: "Happy first year anniversary to us #love #oneyear #strong #sunday #hisandher #summer2017 (sic)."
Lauren also posted a meme celebrating couples who "make it through an incarceration".
The post read: "Couples that make it through an incarceration are not your average couple.
"Only those with the strongest love, commitment, and loyalty make it to that homecoming.
"This is not an ordinary love. It’s exceptional (sic)."
However, Lauren, 30, soon removed both posts without an explanation.
Meanwhile, it was previously reported Lauren is "really in love" with Joey, also 30, and is thankful his stint behind bars means they are having to take their relationship "slowly and soberly".
A source said: "Lauren is really in love and her life is completely centred around Joey. She says she’s never been in a relationship like this before and she loves getting to know Joey the old-fashioned way – slowly and soberly… They speak all the time and she writes love letters to him twice a week. Lauren loves writing letters – she thinks it’s sweet and old-fashioned and isn’t something she would usually do. Joey sends her flowers, too, which he asks his dad to organise on his behalf."
And the star recently revealed she’s about a new reality TV show, which Joey will be part of, despite saying he "doesn’t want to be in the public eye".
Lauren said: "Definitely [we will go in to business together] a bit further down the line. We always speak about it, although he doesn’t want to be in the public eye. But I’m in talks to do a TV show, and he’ll have to be a part of that. He ain’t got a choice!"
