LAUREN Goodger has revealed the huge amount of money she turned down to spend the night with a fan.
The Towie legend, 39, talks openly about her conflicted relationship with OnlyFans in the new series of Olivia Attwood‘s Getting Filthy Rich.
While she never really wanted to share steamy content on the subscription platform in the first place, she can’t deny the financial benefits her content has brought her over the past five years.
Every now and then she’ll receive special requests from fans that go beyond the topless snaps and sultry poses that she posts for a fee of $50 a month.
Revealing the most lucrative offer she’s ever received, single mum Lauren told Olivia she said no to £150,000, though admitted it was tough amount of money to reject.
She says: “I’ve been offered 150 grand for the night, that’s another whole world. Never. Not being wrong, it’s hard to turn down but I couldn’t. I can’t even sleep with a guy in real life.”

Lauren does cater to custom requests though, which she prices at around £6,500.
One of these saw her strip topless and suck her thumb, an act she admitted made her feel embarrassed.
Revealing her fraught relationship with the site, she explains: “Way back years ago when I was doing more TV work I was like ‘I’m never doing OnlyFans’ that’s not me.
“A few years later we went into Covid lockdown there’s no photo shoots, there’s no filming. Had these big bills come in and was like I have to pay this off so I sort of got backed into a corner. I was like I’m just gonna have to do it.”
In her early days on the platform, Lauren said she was coining in £30,000-a-month.
Since then, her content has got saucier as fans tire of standard underwear poses, but she refuses to go fully naked.
The reality favourite shows Olivia a topless video of herself in the bath that she says earned her a few grand.
“I wouldn’t want to sit here and be like I absolutely love it,” she says. “Do I really want these men to have these pictures? Do I really want to do this for how long and everyone knowing about it?
“And people looking at me thinking gosh she’s a successful lovely girl why she’s doing that but that’s the stigma around it. I can’t tell the world it’s not what you think.”
Lauren’s high subscription cost is by design. She prefers to limit the number of eyes on her account and receive more for it, than reduce the cost and expose herself to a wider audience.
The average age of her subscribers is between 30 and 35, with the youngest only 19, which she says is “too young”.
Some of her friends have encouraged her to delete the site, but for Lauren it’s a crucial source of income that allows her and daughter Larose, four, to live a certain lifestyle.
She says: “One of my friends did say ‘Lauren please delete, you don’t need to do it, you’re so much better than this’.
“Without Only Fans I wouldn’t be able to pay all my bills. I have my house, my car, my child so don’t judge me. I’m not doing it so I can buy a Chanel handbag. I need the money. I’m only doing it so I can support myself. I need to live.”
Reflecting on the episode ahead of its release, host Olivia said Lauren’s attitude to the site differs from fellow celeb users like Katie Price and Kerry Katona, both of which have made fortunes from it.
Katie was a lads’ mag favourite for years while went naked as a lapdancer during her days in pop group Atomic Kitten.
Olivia says: “But with Lauren, she’s like a self-proclaimed like prude.
“Like she’s not someone that’s ever done topless modelling or she doesn’t consider herself an overly sexualised character. So I think she has more internal struggle with like the judgement that comes with it.”
