Lauryn Goodman’s mum took a thinly veiled swipe at Kyle Walker as she offered her daughter some advice on the kind of man she should be dating.
During Tuesday night’s episode the reality star, 33, headed for drinks with her mum as she gave her an update on her dating life.
The past year hasn’t been easy for Lauryn after she found herself at the centre of a nasty paternity scandal after she contacted Kyle’s wife Annie Kilner to tell her the footballer was the father of her second child, Kinara, as well as the older boy Kairo.
And seeming to hint at Lauryn’s tricky relationship with Kyle she said: ‘It’d be nice for you to go out with a normal, nice chap for a change. That would be really lovely.’
Earlier in the chat Lauryn told her mum: ‘I went on a date with someone from Brighton and he knew the same kind of people that I knew.’

‘That’s never going to be a good idea,’ advised her mum.
‘That’s what I said,’ agreed Lauryn as she joked: ‘What is it they say you don’t s*** where you eat.’
Opening up she confided in her mum: ‘I think I just felt quite shy around him. I think where I have been knocked and stuff I was just a lot quieter at the beginning than I am now.’
Offering words of support, her mum added: ‘Well you do need someone loving and caring, funny, someone who is outgoing because that what you are.
‘You actually need somebody who is going to be your best friend.’
Earlier this week Lauryn chose to share the full text message she sent to Annie Kilner last December as she revealed the Manchester City footballer was the father of her daughter.
Annie, pregnant at the time, was hugely distressed and kicked Kyle out of the marital home.
Posting the extremely blunt message sent on December 27 last year with her 246,000 followers on Instagram, it read: ‘Hey it’s Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.

Realising that she shouldn’t date someone who knows the same people she does she joked: ‘What is it they say you don’t s*** where you eat’
Last Wednesday it was revealed that Kyle has moved back into the family home as he and Annie attempt to repair their relationship
‘He’s been having a relationship with us all including the baby & I’ve got everything to prove it. He’s been apart of our lives seeing the children [sic].’
She continued: ‘I wanted to have the decency to tell you. If you want to speak further we can but he’s been lying to us both. He doesn’t want us to speak.
‘He’ll gaslight you saying why hasn’t she put it out there knowing we have a legal agreement atm. He’ll probably say I’m a nutter or obsessed to get you to believe him. All his boys have known from the start, so don’t trust them. I’m sorry.
‘I’ve got to protect myself legally if you need to speak again to see evidence etc unblock me on insta so I know to call you.
‘Or [redacted] could always show you in person. This isn’t a prank or joke. Think back to all your messages. Your messages in March with him, how weird he was acting before the World Cup.’
Defending her choice to share the full message, Lauryn wrote on her Instagram story: ‘For months I have seen the media publish one single, blunt sounding line stating that it is the message I sent to Annie. This wasn’t given to them by me and it it only the beginning of a much longer message that I sent.
‘I have seen it claimed so many times now that this is what I sent her, that I would like to show you all what I actually sent.’
She added: ‘We had several conversations after this one and several FaceTimes where we were civil and where we both apologised to each other. Someone else was present for all of the calls.
‘The next slide is the exact message which was sent. It was sent on the 27th of December.

Meanwhile last Wednesday it was revealed that Kyle has moved back into the family home as he and Annie attempt to repair their relationship.
Friends revealed that the England right back, 34, has been living at home in Prestbury, Cheshire for the past three weeks.
A source close to Kyle told the Mirror: ‘Kyle is delighted to be back home with his family. There is a lot of work to be done on all sides, but the boys are their priority and whilst they work on things as adults they come first.
‘Things are looking positive after an incredibly stressful nine months but hopefully there is a brighter future ahead. Annie is tough and fiercely protective of her four boys, she will do whatever it takes to keep them shielded from the situation.’
Kyle was present for the birth of Rezon, their fourth son, but they spent the summer living apart, with Kyle in an apartment in Manchester.
Lauryn has capitalised on the situation with a number of media appearances, including bringing their son Kairo to watch his father in the Euros over the summer.
During an episode of the Channel 4 dating show last week, Lauryn admitted she feels like she is ‘constantly going to war for her kids’ and that everything is always ‘her fault’.
However, although Kyle and Annie both suspect that Goodman’s ultimate aim is to finish their marriage, there are signs that they are getting back on track out of the public eye.
A friend said: ‘They both really want to make it work. Their family is the centre of both of their lives.
‘They are not sure at this point if they can work it out but they want to give it the best chance of working. The first step in that is him moving back into the house.
‘They don’t want the kids to come from a broken home and they have been together since they were 16 years old, so they are each others worlds. Annie is very protective of the boys and doesn’t want to get a divorce. Kyle wants to be home with Annie and the children.

‘They are not back together in the sense that all is forgiven and forgotten but they are physically living in the same place and trying to work out a path through it all.’
The source added: ‘Before this he was going to the house every night to be there for bedtime with the kids so this is not radically different in some ways but it does feel like a significant step. It would be a push though to say that he and Annie have worked out their issues, as there is still much to be done.’
The saga began in 2020 when Lauryn had her first child, Kairo, with the Man City star and publicly named him as the father. He was kicked out of the marital home for the first time.
A financial application for the son ‘painfully and expensively’ went through the family courts over two years. Kyle was ordered to buy Lauryn a £1.85million home, though within a 60 mile radius of a Sussex town to prevent her being near his family, and pay £8,000 per month child support.
The footballer also paid more than £600,000 picking up both sides legal costs, cleared £40,000 of the influencer’s debts and put over £100,000 in total towards a nanny, furniture and car.
Kyle cut contact with his ex-mistress and moved back in with Annie, with whom he has Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and Rezon.
But the influencer saw Kyle at his solicitor’s office and contact between the two was resumed in October 2022 after Kyle travelled to London. Their second child was born in August 2023.
This summer a court heard that the situation was a ‘source of disappointment, anguish and anger’ for Lauryn, who threatened to move near his family’s Cheshire pile – in breach of the order – and made enquiries with nearby estate agents.
