Didn't you know Lauren Branning off EastEnders is pregnant in the alternate Soap universe we call real life? Well, if this instagram of her bump is anything to go by, she's a good 5 to 6 months gone - which is perfect timing if they're writing her pregnancy into the soap (most babies in soap land materialise within 4 months of conception).


The 21-year-old and her boyfriend - that being TOWIE's Dan Osbourne - announced they were expecting their first child together in August.

You may recognise Dan's name from articles circulating this week inferring that hat he'd sent a naughty selfie to TOWIE co-star Georgia Kousoulou. Because we all know TOWIE is totes real and not at all orchestrated by producers for the purpose of ratings.
