'TOWIE' Lauren Goodger on arson attack: 'Lauren's Way will be back'

The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger has vowed that her salon will reopen after it was burnt down in a "disgusting" attack last week.
'Lauren's Way' was targeted by vandals with petrol bombs mere hours after its opening on Wednesday (February 15), gutting the building and causing an estimated £10,000 worth of damage to stock.
"Me and the girls [from TOWIE] spent months preparing for the launch and it's devastating this has happened," Goodger told The Sun. "Stock has been ruined and there's a lot of work to do - but we will open again."
She added: "My original shock has now turned to anger. Whoever has done this is disgusting. I don't feel safe. I don't want to be on my own and it's terrifying to think I was targeted."
Despite the devastation, Goodger accepted that the attack on 'Lauren's Way' could have been a lot worse.
"Someone could have been killed," she said. "There's a child [who lives] upstairs who could have died, and it's just horrible to think someone was prepared to do this - to get me - without a thought for anyone's life."
