“It’s hit her hard, Mark’s building his perfect family and she’s being left behind.”
They went on to say: “She’s always had a lot of love for Mark, they were once childhood sweethearts and in an ideal world she would have reunited with him.

The Sun reached out to Lauren’s rep, who had no comment.
Lauren and Mark dated for nine years before finding fame on the TV hit which led to their romance crumbling one year later.
This year, Lauren opened up on the split on dating expert Paul C. Brunson’s podcast.
She said: “I hurt him, he hurt me. We had that chat and I knew I was never going to see him again.”
Paul then asked: “Were you still in love with him?” to which Lauren candidly replied: “Really honest, I don’t think that sort of love from childhood goes away.
“Obviously he’s moved on with his life and he’s got to respect that and I respect that, but I would love to say ‘hey how are you? All good?’
“We don’t speak. How can he been seen chatting to me, if someone took a photo of that or said something it could cause a lot of trouble, more than what it is.”
In a separate clip, Lauren said the attention on their relationship “broke her”.
Meanwhile, Mark and Michelle said 2025 will be “a special one” after announcing their baby news with a stunning beach photoshoot.
Pals told The Sun last night how Brassic star Michelle and Heart DJ Mark were “thrilled” to start a family.
One said: “Michelle and Mark kept their pregnancy quiet for a long time because they wanted to enjoy every second.
“Starting a family has been something they have wanted to do for a long time.
“They are both in amazing places in their careers and their family home in Essex is all completed.
“The timing could not have been more perfect.”
Michelle and Mark’s friends inundated them with messages after their Instagram post went live on social media.
Mark’s best friend James Argent commented: “I love you and I’m so happy for you both.
