Smiling through: Lauren Goodger looked in good spirits as she arrived at her beauty salon this morning, amid reports she has been axed from TOWIE

She was one of the original stars of The Only Way is Essex when it burst onto our screens in 2010.

But according to reports today, Lauren Goodger has been axed from the reality TV show after allegedly throwing her weight around.

After a showdown with bosses as the cast and crew filmed in a nightclub on Sunday, Lauren is believed to have been told that she will not be shooting any more scenes for the show this week.

According to the Sun, Lauren, 25, accused producers of treating her badly and said she was the real star of the show and threatened to leave and join MTV so she and her sister could become the British 'Kardashians'.

An insider told the paper that the beauty salon owner shouted at bosses and moaned that her scenes kept being pushed back.

They added: 'Bosses were livid as Lauren was already an hour late while the rest of the crew had been there all day filming Arg, Billi and Cara doing the marathon.'

The source 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.'

Lauren's apparent departure is the latest slip for TOWIE, which missed out on a nod as the television BAFTA award nominations were announced yesterday.

She also wrote a couple of cryptic Tweets implying that she had fallen out with the bosses and wrote: 'Think about time spread my wings a lot things arising @NicolaGoodger @RiannaGoodger.
