She was berated in Series 2 of The Only Way Is Essex for her lack of cooking skills by ex-fiancé Mark Wright and his family.

But reality star Lauren Goodger got the last laugh today when she won a sausage plait cook-off with her TOWIE co-stars on This Morning.

The tanning product entrepreneur, 25, looked surprised when Mark's grandmother Patricia Brooker, aka Nanny Pat, chose her creation as the tastiest.

Despite Nanny Pat admitting she liked Kirk Norcross and Maria Fowler's plaits, she plumped for Goodger's tasty one.

But Mark's best friend James 'Arg' Argent's plait failed to impress because it had 'too much chili'.





Goodger got her hands dirty in the kitchen after popping in for a chat with Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield.

She initially asked if she could use a spoon instead of her hands because she didn't want to ruin her manicure.

Nanny Pat, who is well-known amongst the TOWIE cast for her sausage plaits, then tried to help Goodger, but was stopped by Willoughby.

Although Goodger, Arg and Fowler admitted they didn't have much cooking experience - relying on their mothers, takeaways and restaurants, Norcross said he was quite a good cook because he lived by himself.

But despite his efforts, Nanny Pat preferred Lauren's, saying: 'Kirk's was very nice and Maria's was very nice, but Lauren was the dinner.'

During their interview beforehand, Willoughby's lack of TOWIE knowledge - or research - was exposed when she asked Norcross how he felt about Fowler dating his father Mick.

Of course, viewers of the ITV2 show will know the pair only had about two dates before calling it quits.

Fowler is now dating footballer Lee Croft.

Although happily in a relationship with TOWIE co-star Lydia Bright, Arg revealed he had a crush on Willoughby.

He tweeted: 'If i wasnt with my beautiful @LydiaRoseBright then @hollywills would defo get some Arg Loving!'
