LAURYN Goodman has hit back at trolls who told her to get a real job.
The influencer and model, who is hoping to find love after signing up to the new series of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, insisted she is the “sole provider” and filming the show is her job.

It comes after Lauryn’s, 33, big money court battle with Manchester City, footballer ex Kyle Walker, 34.
“One of the things people would say is, ‘you could get a job.’ I do have a job. I work. I’m posting that I’m at work and people say, ‘Get a job.’ I’m filming today,” she told OK! Magazine.
The reality star said she wants to provide for her two children, who she shares with Kyle, to ensure she’s self-reliant and not “controlled” by anything.
“I work so that I , too, can contribute to my children because I want to have that feeling that I’ve done that for my children,” she went on.
“I’m their sole carer and I want to be able to provide things for them – I took Kairo to the Maldives while I was pregnant with Kinara, and that was nothing to do with their father.
“They’re my drive and they’ve given me the strength to go at this.
“I want to create a future for me and the children so we’re not controlled by anything.”
Before appearing on the new Celebs Go Dating series, Lauryn has been issued a strict warning by the Celebs Go Dating experts over her drama with ex Kyle Walker.
The Man City defender has been involved in a very public feud with influencer Lauryn since their fling was brought to light.
The fall out between Lauren and Kyle has also had an impact on family relationships with her sister Chloe Goodman saying she ‘can’t forgive’ her for the drama with Kyle.

Speaking to The Sun about the breakdown in the bond with her sister, Chloe said: “I don’t think it’s a case of forgiveness, it’s a case of timing. I’m not ready to sit down and discuss things with her yet.
“I feel I would get emotional and angry and I could say things I might regret.”
The breaking point came as Lauryn revealed she is pregnant for a second time with married Kyle, who shares three children with wife Annie.
Chloe added: “I was shocked when I found out Lauryn was pregnant a second time because I didn’t know they had rekindled things.
“I knew Kyle had been seeing Kairo privately and I was happy because all children should have a father in their lives.
“I hadn’t asked him if he was back seeing my sister, because I’d assumed nothing was happening.
“Lauryn hadn’t told me either. I told her, ‘I have no sympathy for you and Kyle now.’
“That was the start of our relationship becoming strained.”
