Lauren Goodger plans to swap teddies with her newborn daughter before her funeral

Lauren Goodger says she will keep the teddy that is currently with her daughter Lorena.

The 35-year-old placed the toy with the baby after she passed away and has got her own that she keeps on her at all times.

Lauren says that she plans on swapping the teddies over when she lays her daughter to rest.

The TOWIE star told OK! Magazine : “Lorena has a teddy with her now and I’ve got a matching one, which I keep with me.

Speaking about the little white bear, she said: "When I say my final goodbye to her, I’m going to swap them over. I’m going to have the one she’s had, and she will have the one I’ve had.”

“When I get into bed in the evening, I just want Lorena there next to me,” she said.

“I feel like I can keep strong in the day for Larose, but at night, that’s when it just hits me. That’s when I feel really, really sad and I miss her so much.

Lauren's "perfect" daughter was born on Friday 8 July weighing 9lb.

Tragically her umbilical cord was knotted around her neck and despite doctor's efforts to save her - it was too late.

The reality star said that she is struggling to explain how she's feeling.

She said that she doesn't feel angry, but instead she feels "different emotions at all times".

Lauren said how before she came home without Lorena, her boyfriend Charles Drury's family moved all of the new baby's belongings to their annexe.

She said how she couldn't bear to look at the baby bouncer and birthing pool but that her clothes make her feel better.

The star spent 24 hours with her baby and said how she spent all night looking and touching her.

Lauren said how she held her hands and feet and told her how much she loved her.

She dressed her in her older sister Larose's sleepsuit and said how much she looked like her sibling.
