Covering up: Lauren Goodger wore a pink shirt dress tied around her waist as she continued to enjoy her Miami holiday


She stunned fans earlier this week when she stepped out looking radioactive after too much time in the sunshine.

But it seems Lauren Goodger has now decided to cover up to prevent future tanning issues.

While the 25-year-old star wore a bikini top as she relaxed poolside during her holiday in Miami, she decided to shield her bottom half by tying a pink shirt dress around her waist.

Lauren looked happy enough with her outfit as she reclined on a sun lounger by the pool wearing her pink shirt and a purple patterned halterneck bikini top.

However, friends of the star say Lauren has been so stressed about her increasing weight that she has been having panic attacks, one of which caused her sister Rianna to call an ambulance.

A source told Closer magazine: 'Lauren says she's now determined to get in shape. Her friends told her she's only a size 14 and to stop giving herself a hard time, but she's beside herself.

'Her friends were really worried after her panic attack and have been advising her to take it easy. They know she's been through a lot lately, but they've told her she needs to focus on feeling happier and more positive.'

Lauren wore her brown hair piled up on top of her head, and finished her look off with a pair of aviator-style sunglasses.

But while Lauren covered up her bottom half, her holiday pal Frankie Essex was happy to bare her bikini body with pride.

The 24-year-old star donned a tiny orange bandeau bikini as she made the most of the warm weather, showing off her toned curves.

Frankie earlier this year posed for a bikini photoshoot after dropping a dress size and going from 10st 7lbs to 10st 2lb in four weeks, from a size 12-14 to a size 10.

And she said in January: 'I’m hoping to go to Miami with the girls in March and, for the first time ever, I can’t wait to get into my bikini.

'I’ve always been a yo-yo dieter, but exercising and eating healthily is part of my lifestyle now. I feel amazing. For the first time, I’m looking forward to showing off my figure and making the most of all my hard work!'
