Lauryn Goodman filmed scenes for the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating after a two-day courtroom showdown with Kyle Walker this week.
The influencer, 33, became embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it emerged that professional footballer Kyle had fathered a second child with her.
She welcomed son Kairo, four, after the pair had a fling while he was on a break from his wife Annie Kilner in 2019, but it was revealed in January this year he had fathered a second child with her while married.
After signing up for the E4 show as a latecomer, Lauryn was pictured on Friday heading to Teatro Hall cocktail bar and restaurant in London to meet a model.
Looking incredible in a satin highneck top and powder blue mini skirt, Lauryn topped her look off with some strappy heels

Meanwhile, her date wore an oversized striped shirt with a pair of cargo trousers and boots.
Lauryn will star on the new series of the popular dating show with Chris Taylor, Helen Flanagan, Ella Morgan, Jamelia, Stephen Lustig-Webb and Tristan Phipps, with the celeb cast receiving relationship advice from experts Paul Carrick Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn.
A friend of Lauryn’s told MailOnline of her telly plans: ‘Lauryn has had a lot of TV offers that she is considering and she wants to draw a line under this circus with Kyle’.
‘There is a keen interest into Lauryn as a person herself, seeing as Kyle kept returning back to her, people want to see what the fuss is all about’.
In an exclusive interview with the Mail last month, Lauryn hit back at her critics and explained why her ex-lover Kyle ‘isn’t man enough to do the right thing.’
She revealed her main motivation to take Kairo to his first England game – a promise Kyle had made to their son in 2022 – when she was secretly pregnant with their second child – and he was playing at the Qatar World Cup.
‘Kyle told him on a FaceTime call that he would make sure he was at the next tournament because [Kyle] is getting older, and he knew there would perhaps not be any more opportunities,’ she explained.
‘There was no way I was not going to uphold the promise that Kyle made to his son. This could have been his last chance so I wanted it to be something that Kairo could remember for ever.’

Lauryn continued: ‘We are not here to please other people. It’s about Kairo and what is best for him and what is going to make him happy.
‘I won’t be scapegoated or bullied and made to feel like a villain. My children are my number one priority and they always will be. Luckily I’m a strong woman and mother for them.’
While Kairo had ‘the best day ever’ at the match, according to Lauryn, who also took her grandfather John, there was an undercurrent of sadness.
‘It made me so emotional because it’s like Kairo doesn’t understand what his dad has done yet,’ she explained.
‘I know this is hurting Kyle, but he isn’t man enough to do the right thing by his other two children. This is a characteristic that I don’t want Kairo to have. I want him to be strong, not be a weak man when he grows up.
‘They are humans, and they’re not going anywhere, they have as much right as the others. And I will always fight their corner for them, as any mum would. It was so nice to see him idolise his dad but also so sad.’
In January, it was revealed that Kyle had fathered another baby – a little girl – with influencer and reality TV personality Lauryn while he was married to Annie.
The scandal rumbled on during the England vice captain’s appearances in the European Championships – with Lauryn sharing snaps of her two children to Instagram watching their dad play, while Annie jetted to Germany with their baby son to watch him in the stands.
Kyle and his wife Annie share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and two-month-old baby Rezon and the boys have also been seen at the matches wearing Kyle’s No. 2 shirt.
The scandal began in 2019, when he was on a break from Annie. Despite his infidelity and the birth of son Kairo, Kyle and Annie stayed together in Cheshire while Lauryn raised her son as a single mother hundreds of miles away in Brighton.
Then, last December it was revealed the daughter Lauryn had given birth to in summer was also Kyle’s, after an affair.
Annie threw Kyle out of their family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, and he moved into in a nearby apartment after Lauryn blocked him and came clean to Annie.
Kairo (pictured with Lauryn) is the son of the England vice-captain and Manchester City star, whose exploits off the pitch have generated as many headlines as anything he’s achieved with his boots on

However, after Annie gave birth to a fourth son in April, they began to mend their marriage, reportedly on the condition that Kyle cut off all contact with Lauryn and their children.
There are conflicting reports about whether Annie has forgiven Kyle yet.
Sources claimed she only went to the Euros for the sake of the children, and wasn’t staying in Germany ‘playing happy families’.
Meanwhile, Lauryn is bringing up her children up as a single mum at a £2.4million house in Hove, East Sussex. Kyle bought the house for them as part of his maintenance commitments.
