TOWIE stars Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger engaged

After splitting from Kayla Collins, Mark has decided he's ready to settle down

Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger have a turbulent relationship

Mark Wright has proposed to on-off girlfriend Lauren Goodger and The Only Way Is Essex pair plan to settle down together.

'I do love him and always will,' says Lauren, 24. 'He loves me and always will. We've been together for a long time.

'I'm a believer in what's meant to be will be.'

Lauren has forgiven Mark, 24, for messing around with Essex babes Lucy Mecklenburgh, 19, and Sam Faiers, 20, even though she was still pretty miffed just six weeks ago.

'All he cares about is himself. He'll do whatever he can or hurt anyone he likes just to be famous,' Lauren ranted in January. 'He's an idiot!'

Mark's been at a bit of a loose end since Kayla Collins went home to her cat - and he suddenly decided he couldn't live without his ex.

'Out of the blue Mark got down on one knee,' says a reveller at Mark's club Sugar Hut. 'Everyone's mouths just fell open.'�
