Lauren Goodger joins TOWIE co-stars to referee wild sports day with Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green battling it out in the wheelbarrow race

Lauren Goodger took charge of her Only Way Is Essex co-stars on Wednesday as she refereed their wild sports day. 

The TV personality, 37, made her much-anticipated return to the series earlier this year and was seen calling the shots while Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green battled it out in the wheelbarrow race. 

Castmates put recent drama aside to take part in a range of different events to raise money and awareness for Havens Hospice and CATS. 

They took part in classic races such as three-legged and egg and spoon as well as tug of war and a 100 metre sprint. 

Lauren looked incredible in an off-the-shoulder crochet dress that she paired with Chanel sandals and glamorous makeup.

Divided into two teams, half of the cast were seen wearing blue tabards while the other joined the red team.

Lauren held on to a megaphone as she directed the teams and shouted instructions.  

They were joined by Ella Rae Wise who turned the field day into a fashion show in a plunging sports bra and mini skirt.

She looked loved up with her on-off boyfriend Dan Edgar while his ex and fellow cast member Amber Turner was absent from filming. 

With rumours circling of a blossoming romance between Junaid Ahmed and Harry Derbidge's ex Joe Blackman, Harry put on a brave face as the joined the pair. 

Junaid was seen with a love bite on his neck as he laughed and joked with Joe after being paired with him for one of the races.

Earlier this month, MailOnline reported how Harry and Joe had sadly split after discussing having children and vowing to get married in Vegas.

A source later revealed to The Sun that Harry was left 'furious' after he 'discovered text messages between Joe and Junaid'.
