Lauren Goodger has confessed that she will never love anyone like her ex-fiancé Mark Wright as she candidly opened up on their turbulent 12 year relationship.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 32, opened up on her "instant connection" to Mark, who is now happily married to Michelle Keegan, claiming they were "obsessed" with each other before calling off their engagement in 2011.
In an exclusive interview with new! magazine, Lauren revealed that she's currently single after splitting from jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison.

When asked about her relationship with Mark, 32, Lauren confessed: "I was so in love with him straight away. He was obsessed with me and I was obsessed with him.
"Sex keeps you together as well, so we had the connection. There's no love like your first love."
Lauren and Mark had a long relationship which played out on TOWIE and had been on and off since meeting when they were just 14. The pair got engaged in March 2011 but Mark called off the relationship just months later in August.

Mark had been dating Lucy Mecklenburgh before Lauren and their relationship was rocked on TOWIE when it was revealed that Lucy and Mark had a "drunken kiss" during a trip to Marbella.
At the time, both Lauren and Mark were forced to deny speculation that their engagement was faked for the ITV show.
Lauren has now opened up on being single, telling New!: "I'm single. I'm talking to people, but nothing serious. Every time I go out, I meet someone. They all come along at once."

Joey and Lauren are said to have known each other for "many years" and started a relationship while he was behind bars.
She explained: "I regret giving two and a half years of my life to someone who was in jail."
