Lauren Goodger treated fans to a sexy swimsuit snap as she basked in the sun poolside - before deleting it just four minutes after posting it.
The former TOWIE star, 33, has recently made some enemies after she broke lockdown rules to attend a child's birthday party - but then pretended she wasn't there, it's claimed.
Lauren managed to brush the outrage aside by changing the conversation to her stunning snap, but ending up changing her mind just a few minutes after sharing it with her 764k Instagram followers.
The now-deleted snap shows Mark Wright's ex chilling poolside in a vibrant aqua swimsuit for a promotional post for her fake tan brand.
Although Lauren's decision to erase any trace of the post is unknown, it could be her attempt to pretending she wasn't there on social media.
Lauren was under fire after being pictured attending the bash thrown to celebrate her friend Georgia's son Danny's third birthday on Tuesday.
But she later posted on her Instagram stories about how sad she was to miss out on Danny's special day.
It is the second time in just 10 days that Lauren has breached the lockdown rules after she hosted a party at her Essex flat earlier this month, apparently not knowing that this was against the guidelines.
In a picture obtained by MailOnline, Lauren is seen filming a video of little Danny as he was presented with his birthday cake, which was green and had huge sparklers on top.
In the photo she is stood less than two metres apart from Danny and even closer to the other party guests.
Then shortly after she posted a picture of the same birthday cake.
"Wish I was there," she captioned the post alongside sad face and crying emojis.
Mirror Online has contacted Lauren's reps for comment.
