Not the most dignified of exits! Lauren Goodger bids goodbye to TOWIE with a LOT of drink... and a farewell kiss from Frankie Essex

She has been one of the integral characters for the past six series of The Only Way Is Essex, but announced on Wednesday that she is quitting the show to concentrate on other ventures. And last night saw Lauren Goodger bid farewell to the ITV2 programme in a less than dignified way, as she was spotted looking worse for wear while heading home from the wrap party following the end of the six series. The 25-year-old reality star appeared to be in very high spirits as she left the party at The Cavendish Square and was seen messing about with her castmates as she made her way into her waiting car.

Earlier in the evening, Lauren had tweeted her excitement about the wrap party, writing: 'On way 2 Roka with girls then Towie WRAP party! Whoohoo!
