Lauren Goodger reveals she has been 'staying in bed' with incarcerated beau Joey Morrison during his home leave in midst of 16 year prison sentence
The state of their relationship has been shrouded in secrecy.
Yet Lauren Goodger was feeling candid about her incarcerated beau Joey Morrison as she revealed in her Now Magazine column that they spent the weekend together, by staying in bed and going out for dinner, as he enjoyed a stint of home leave.
The 31-year-old former TOWIE star has been spending time with the convict, who is in his ninth year of a 16-year sentence for violent offences, while enjoying the spoils of his freedom - waking up together and supporting his brother's rap career.
New love? Lauren Goodger was feeling candid about her incarcerated beau Joey Morrison as she revealed in her Now Magazine column that they spent the weekend together, while staying in bed and going out for dinner, as he enjoyed a stint of home leave (pictured last week)
Lauren and Joey's romance was on-off during his time in prison, yet an image posted recently seemingly showed the pair out for dinner - however she artfully masked his face behind an Emoji.
Lauren was spotted visiting Joey in the midst of his 16-year sentence last year after he was found in possession of £10,000 in cash and £60,000 worth of cocaine.
The Essex resident appeared on Loose Women in September to set things straight regarding her crumbled dalliance with her ex-boyfriend Joey.
'He was meant to come out, last year, in November and things were great,' she explained to the panel, 'But where things got set back, it put strain on us. I couldn't wait no more. It was too much pressure.'

Things now seem to be on the up, as she wrote in her column: 'I spent last weekend with Joey as he was out on home leave and has been out a few times in recent months.
'I'm really enjoying the time we're spending together - staying in bed together, waking up and going out has been lovely... It's so nice to have him at our home and seeing all the real world outside of that prison visit room...
'I've waiting so long. I've kept it private and not posted before as I'm too busy enjoying myself but also he's still in prison which carries its own set of rules'.
Who's who? Lauren's confession over their romance comes after it was reported that she is planning an unconventional career for her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison, following his release from prison last month
Business brains: Putting to bed rumours in their romance, Lauren seemed keen to set the record straight as she awaited his release from his lengthy prison spell
After one of their 'off stints', in November, Lauren hinted at spending time with the family as she told Closer: 'We’re still mates. There’s no bad blood. I’m still mates with Joey and his family and I see them all the time.'
Lauren's confession over their romance comes after it was reported that she is planning an unconventional career for her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison, following his release from prison last month.
Heat Magazine claim the star plans to make the convict into the next 'Hot Felon', the moniker used by former gang member Jeremy Meeks, after the California-native soared to prominence when his smouldering mugshot went viral in 2014.
Insiders told the publication that Lauren, 31, deems herself a business brain and is plotting to make her beau the next big thing following his release from jail after serving nine years of his 16-year sentence for violent offences.
Happy days: It has now been reported that Lauren is determined to make Joey a 'Hot Felon', as insiders said: 'Lauren's been really inspired by Chloe and the way she got together with Jeremy. He's now a successful model'
In 2010, Joey was jailed for 16 years for possession of a firearm, kidnap, blackmail, actual bodily harm and aggravated burglary atop drug related offences following an eight-week trial in Wood Green. He was released and united with Lauren last month.
Jeremy found fame in 2014 during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in California, after which police posted his mug shot on Facebook, after his conviction for federal charges of grand theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Following his release, he signed a modelling contract with White Cross Management and also nabbed a contract with Hollywood talent agent Gina Rodriguez, before he found love with Topshop heiress Chloe Green, who he shares a baby with.

'She thinks she can do the same for Joey by getting him an agent and making him a pin-up...
'She loves being a businesswoman and thinks Joey's got potential... Ultimately she wants to be seen as a power couple like her and Mark Wright'.
As well as Jeremy's viral mugshot, a police handout from the time of Joey's arrest is in circulation and shows the convict appearing less sculpted than his US counterpart as he suffered a bruised eye and appeared to have his arm in a sling.
At the time of Joey's sentencing, Detective Inspector Dan O’Sullivan, from the Southwark priority crime unit, said: 'This was a very long and complex investigation, and I am delighted that Morrison and (his accomplice) Jacobs have finally been brought to justice.
'To the victims I hope these sentences go someway in relieving the pain and suffering they experienced at the hands of these ruthless men.
'They were put through a harrowing ordeal and I commend the great courage they showed during the investigation and the trial.'

However, in November, Lauren hinted at spending time with the family as she told Closer: 'We’re still mates. There’s no bad blood. I’m still mates with Joey and his family and I see them all the time.'
Earlier this year, the TOWIE star was seen with personalised number plates adorned with her incarcerated lover's name.
Just two weeks after Lauren was caught with a screen saver of his face, Lauren changed the license plate on her car to include the jailbird's name.
Putting to bed rumours in their romance, Lauren seemed keen to set the record straight as she awaited his release from his lengthy prison spell.
In the column, she wrote: 'Joey and I are still in touch, which I have never denied. For now, he is focused on coming out and after such a long time I was to protect him so I'm not discussing him or our situation. People have to respect that.
'The number plate thing seems like a big deal but it's not. They were ordered ages ago and not being used so I decided to put them on my new car to save him from being fined for not using them and - let's be honest - it's a wicked plate!'
