Former The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs has supported Lauren Goodger's potential departure from the show.
Goodger's future on the ITV2 programme has been put in doubt following a row with producers last week and she is not mentioned as part of the cast for a special episode in Marbella.

Childs, who quit TOWIE after its second series at the beginning of 2011, has now urged her ex co-star to "move on" from the show.
"I don't know the ins and outs of what happened as obviously I'm not a part of that anymore," she wrote in her New column. "But if she has quit or has been axed then I think this could be a good thing.
"I reckon it's a good time for Lauren to move on from TOWIE. She has a successful business and lots of fans, so she'll be just fine with or without the show."
Goodger has declined to confirm her TOWIE status, saying only that she is discussing "some issues" with bosses.
However, she seemingly hinted at her departure in a Twitter message on Sunday (April 29), which read: "Sometimes in life everything happens for a reason I don't no why but all u can be is true 2 yourself and do what makes u happy #loyal."
