Lauryn Goodman hits out at This Morning after 'awkward' interview

The 33-year-old made an appearance on the ITV daytime show on Monday to talk about her upcoming appearance on Celebs Go Dating.

But then, they started talking about her own life, specifically her previous relationship with soccer player Kyle Walker from Manchester City. They have been friends for ten years after being introduced by mutual acquaintances.

The couple has two children together, a four-year-old son named Kairo and a one-year-old daughter named Kinara, following what sources have called short relationships.

Kyle Walker showed up at the Central Family Court in London in July

Appearing on TV for the first time since the trial, Goodman was questioned about the verdict and acknowledged that she and Walker are no longer in contact. However, she expressed that she has no regrets about their past relationship.

She stated: "I don't have any feelings of wishing I had done things differently because my children mean everything to me. Without them, my life wouldn't be the same."

Reflecting on her connection with Walker - who shares four sons with his estranged wife Annie Kilner - Goodman stated: "There is currently no personal relationship, and all communication is handled through legal representatives, but yes."

She also said, "It's truly challenging because Kairo often asks about his father and has formed a strong connection with him."

"I believe it's important to navigate through these situations in the best way possible, considering that everyone's circumstances are different and unique. By prioritizing others, I can ensure that my conscience is clear."

I didn't expect things to turn out this way. I was hoping we could handle it privately, but that didn't happen. Moving forward, I wish we can maintain a friendly relationship for the sake of our children. They should always come first.

"I think my kids are lovely. It's been challenging to handle everything, but I'm doing my best for them. We sort of live in our own little world together. They are my sanctuary, so we try to ignore the distractions from the outside."

She will be featured on the reality TV dating show called Celebs Go Dating, and her debut episode will be shown on Wednesday.

When Shephard asked why she decided to be on a reality TV show despite wanting to keep her children out of the spotlight, she explained that she has been in the public eye since she was 23 but keeps her kids' faces private on Instagram.

"We lead a very private life, so people are unaware of our activities. However, when it comes to public attention, everything about us is exposed to the spotlight."

But now, the E4 celebrity is speaking out against the TV presenters, saying they were too aggressive in their questioning during the show.

Although some people had differing opinions on her interview, there were also supporters who defended her. One fan expressed their support on Instagram by saying: "It seemed like they were not very friendly towards you, and the interview felt uncomfortable, but you handled it gracefully despite the questions."

You seemed taken aback by what Kyle said at the end, but you stayed calm. I hope you and the kiddos are doing alright.

In response to the support, Goodman admitted, "I was surprised by it, as you can probably tell. I didn't think it was needed and I didn't understand why it was given."

Furthermore, the situation where he asked for privacy but then made it public didn't make sense to me. However, that's just how it played out. My intention was not to discuss him on the platform.

I was there to discuss myself, my children, and my experience on Celebs Go Dating.

Responding to another fan who inquired about her experience, she stated: "I joined to discuss @celebsgodating but it didn't really focus on that in the end."
