Lauren Goodger is pictured with her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison for the first time during his day release from prison – and reveals new tattoo of his name
LAUREN Goodger has been pictured with her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison for the first time as he enjoyed a day release from his 16-year sentence for a string of violent drugs-related charges.
The 30-year-old reality star also revealed she’s had Joey's name TATTOOED on her wrist in the intimate pictures.
Lauren and Joey can be seen smouldering for a selfie before sharing a romantic kiss.
In another snap, Lauren shows off her tattoo tribute to her man as she clutches the wheel of her white Mercedes.
The convicted criminal is expected to be released early in 2018, following his conviction in 2010.
Lauren had previously declined to confirm details of the tattoo for Joey earlier this month, saying: "There was a story about me getting Joey’s name tattooed on my wrist.
"All I’m going to say at the moment is that it’s something personal to me and it’s not something I want to parade around right now.
“I’ve never made a secret of how important Joey is to me and he’s someone I see always being in my life.”
The former Towie star first fell for the convict after chatting with him over the phone from HMP Standford Hill.
Meanwhile, Lauren and her friends made an emotional appearance on TV opening up on her shock new relationship with Joey for Celebrities In Therapy With Lauren Goodger.
Speaking to the Channel 5 show, Lauren and her pals were quizzed about her relationship with Joey – who’s set to be released in 21 months.
