Lauren Goodger has been axed from The Only Way Is Essex after a showdown with bosses, it has been claimed.
It is alleged that Goodger accused producers of treating her badly during a party but now show bosses have cut her from the show until they can have a ‘make or break’ meeting.
A source told The Sun:
"Lauren was screaming at a producer and being a right diva saying the programme treated her appallingly after her scenes kept getting pushed back.
"The producer told Lauren she wouldnÂ’t speak to her while she was in that state.
"Lauren then threatened to quit, saying she was the star of the show and would go to MTV where her and her sisters would be the new Kardashians."
Another insider added:
"The cast and crew have had enough of the way Lauren is acting. They have got to the point where they feel that if she wants to quit she should.
"Nobody is bigger than the show. She is not in WednesdayÂ’s episode and until producers meet with her and her representative she is not doing any more.
After the incident Lauren tweeted:
"Never been so angry in all my life! All I can say is what a shame."
A TOWIE spokesman said last night:
"We are looking into this."
