LAUREN Goodger has confirmed she’s been struck down with Strep and feels like she’s been “hit by a lorry”.
The 36-year-old was rushed to the doctors earlier today after falling ill.
But former Towie star Lauren later confirmed her diagnosis with the infection.
Sharing a snap from the surgery, she wrote: “So I’ve got Strep (throat infection) so it’s bed for me.”
Lauren revealed she is so poorly she’s had to make childcare arrangements for her daughter.
She continued: “Larose is at my dad’s to give me a few hours rest.

“I am on anti-biotics. My body feels like I’ve been hit by a lorry – a few times.”
The Sun revealed earlier today that Lauren’s friends and family were convinced she’d caught Strep.
An insider exclusively told The Sun: “Lauren was in tears she feels so awful. She’s rushing to her GP today.
“Everyone fears that she’s got Strep A. Poor Lauren – it’s one thing after another and this is the last thing she needs before Christmas.”
Lauren’s representative said: “Poor Lauren is feeling terrible, she has all the symptoms of Strep A and with it being rife has been advised not delay in getting seen.
“She has an emergency appointment. Friends and family are supporting her as she recovers.”
An outbreak of Group Strep A in the UK has caused death in 15 children across London, Belfast and Cardiff in the past month.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) can cause mild illnesses, including sore throats and skin infections, alongside tonsillitis, cellulitis, impetigo and scarlet fever, which is flu-like and tends to occur in children.
