Lauren Goodger has been inconsistent in wearing protective face masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
Some outings she is seen sporting one and other times she prefers to show off her face sans mask.
And when the former TOWIE star, 33, headed out for an essential trip on Saturday she decided to don a surgical mask but shortly after she exited her house she suffered a mask malfunction.
The elastic on one side of the personal protection item snapped exposing her perfectly glossed pout as she nattered on her mobile phone.
The Essex native seemed unbothered that she no longer was protected by the mask and put on an animated display as a photographer snapped away.
Lauren decided to pull on a white faux fur shrug as she stepped out and ensured her killer curves were on display as she modelled a tight t-shirt and leggings.
She covered her eyes behind large sunglasses and toted her belongings in a black quilted bag.
Last month Lauren told an NHS worker to ‘shut up’ after she was criticised for being outdoors and not following government guidance during the coronavirus pandemic.
She was slammed after posting a series of pap pictures in which she wore a face mask for an outing in Essex.
Since posting the Instagram images on March 20, health care workers voiced their concern and called her out for ‘making a mockery’ of the situation.
“You are not meant to be out. So so selfish. Did you seriously not think before posting this? I work for the NHS. People are dying. Please delete this and please stay indoors,” one concerned health care worker wrote.
“I am working please shut up … until the government and NHS says all salons closed until then I will be working!” Lauren snapped back.
In another post, an NHS nurse criticised the post, writing: “As a NHS nurse you are just taking the p*ss. How ridiculous.”
“What about?! You should know better then ….” Lauren responded.
“I'm sorry but I'm NHS front line and seeing this as a 'fashion' item makes me so disappointed. Not having a go at Lauren but it's just the idea this is funny for the gram,” wrote another health care worker.
Refusing to back down, Lauren then went on to say that she would ‘just post more’.
“Have a long hard look at the post and comments and what’s been replied .. trust me I’ll just post more !!!!! It’s a f***ing mask! Which I also was wearing for Aesthetic’s before you lot was!!!!! The world has gone mental!” she wrote in response to another follower.
Lauren eventually stopped replying to the onslaught of comments, then the next day she wrote a message on her social media story in regards to what people were saying to her and attempted to explain that ‘everyone has feelings’.
“Yesterday I got trolled on Instagram. Has no one learnt anything this year?” she began.
“We have had some horrific things happen and now we are all trying to help each other through a worldwide pandemic.
“Be Kind and REMEMBER everyone is a person and everyone has feelings! So before you type just think what may your words do to another person. Have a safe and happy Sunday everyone!”
