Lauryn Goodman was seen on a first date with a new man ahead of her Celebs Go Dating debut following affair with footballer Kyle Walker.

The reality star, 33, signed up for the reality show after becoming embroiled in controversy with the Manchester City.

The footballer - who shares four children with his wife Annie Kilner - was dramatically revealed as the father of Lauryn's second child, 13-month-old Kinara, four years after they welcomed a son, Kairo.

And it appears Lauryn may have succeeded in finding someone new, as she enjoyed a lunch date with a mystery man at Novikov restaurant in Mayfair.

She looked cheerful as she arrived, wearing a simple black T-shirt and jeans, paired with strappy high heels and a plaid jacket.

The footballer (pictured last month) - who shares four children with his wife Annie Kilner - was dramatically revealed as the father of Lauryn's second child, 13-month-old Kinara, four years after they welcomed a son, Kairo 

She sported a full face of glamorous makeup for the outing, and wore her favoured necklace emblazoned with the initials 'KW'.

While her date put on a casual display, wearing a beige hoodie and matching trousers, with a green baseball cap.

The latest series of Celebs Go Dating already kicked off last month, but Lauryn will be making her debut in Wednesday's episode.

Talking in her introduction on the show, she admitted she had become a 'shell' of herself since her recent scandals and wanted to show the public the real her.

She said: 'I used to be really fun, outgoing, confident...but I feel like a bit of a shell of myself. I've just had to deal with the bashes.

'I am probably best known for having a pretty crazy love life - people probably think that I am a homewrecker and I go after peoples' husbands... but that couldn't be further from the truth.

'That is why I joined the agency. I am just trying to find Lauryn again... I think now is the right time. It's been four years.'

She also became tearful as she spoke about the backlash she's received and claimed that when she and Kyle conceived their two children, he had not been with wife Annie.

Lauryn said: 'I've known Kyle since my early 20s, we were friends at the time - he'd always liked me. But I knew he had a girlfriend at the time. 

'He kept everything very separate from her. It is 2019 and she'd kicked him out, he is not with her so I thought: "OK, why not?"'

In her first TV interview since the news broke, an emotional Lauryn insisted that despite the furore surrounding her affair with Kyle, she has no regrets. 

Speaking on Monday's episode of This Morning, she shared: 'I can't say I have any regrets because my children are my world. They wouldn't be here, they wouldn't be the way they are...'

Lauryn went on to state that she was appearing on E4's Celebs Go Dating because it was 'healing' for her amid the drama. 

The E4 programme sees single celebrities join a dating agency in a bid to find true love. Matchmakers pair them with non-celebrity partners and the cameras capture every romantic or cringe-filled moment. 

Lauryn shared: 'I was umming and ahhing whether it was the right time to go on Celebs Go Dating. In one sense people were saying "you're not over your ex, Kyle", but in the other sense people were saying "now is as good as time as ever". 

'I just wanted to get back out there and start tryin to heal from everything and see the process... It was a really intense process so I was really nervous about it.' 

In her first TV interview since the news broke , an emotional Lauryn insisted that despite the furore surrounding her affair with Kyle, she has no regrets 

Asked how she would talk to her children - son Kairo, four, and daughter Kinara, 13 months, about the affair, she mused: 'I don't know'

Lauryn went on to admit that the situation hadn't played out how she'd hoped. She confessed: 'It's not how I wanted this to go at all. I thought maybe we'd be dealing with this in private'

As host Ben Shephard questioned why she was appearing on a reality TV show after stating she wanted to keep her children from further spotlight, she responded: 'I think I've always been, ever since I was 23, I've been in the public eye but my kids faces are private on Instagram. 

'We live a private life in terms of people don't know what we get up to but in terms of the spotlight, yes of course, everything's been thrown into the spotlight.'

Asked how she would talk to her children about the affair in the future, she admitted: 'I don't know. I didn't know I was going to have a second child, I will just have to navigate it day by day. 

'I've got the easy story because his dad goes away and watch football. I will always have to tell them the truth but not right now.'

In July, Lauryn and Kyle were embroiled in a child maintenance court showdown. 

The footballer slammed Lauryn's 'insatiable greed' after a judge ruled in his favour and added that the influencer used him as an 'open ended cheque book' and 'repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted'.

Tensions do not appear to have lessened since then, with Lauryn admitting she has 'no relationship' with the athlete at current.  

'Everything is dealt with through lawyers,' she admitted. 'It's really difficult. Kairo asks about his dad, it's just trying to navigate that. As long as I put them first I feel my conscious is clear.'

Ben then revealed that Lauryn did not want to discuss the court case for legal reasons, but shared a statement that had been sent in from Kyle's legal team.

It read: 'This independent judgement speaks for itself. The proceedings were never necessary. 

'Kyle's offer could have been accepted months ago and would therefore have eliminated the need for added stress to all involved.

'My client and his family now ask that the media accepts his right to a private life as they navigate the next steps and attempt to limit the damage to the children involved.' 

During the chat, Lauryn went on to admit that the situation with Kyle hadn't played out how she'd hoped. 

She confessed: 'It's not how I wanted this to go at all. I thought maybe we'd be dealing with this in private but it didn't go that way. 

'In the future I hope we can be amicable for our two children because they should come first. It has been really hard to navigate but I have to do the best I can for them.'

As host Cat Deeley suggested that it is often the women who take the brunt of the blame in affair cases, Lauryn mused: 'I understand what you mean and that's been the tough bit.

'But I try and ignore it and just focus on my kids because you can't do anything else. You can't force people to see what you went through. I know the truth.'

She added that she is not 'listening to outside noise' after being vilified by trolls.

Last month it was claimed Kyle is considering taking out a harassment order against Lauryn to protect the four young children he has with wife Annie

Lauryn shared: 'I block it out. 'It's not easy to do but I have to figure it out and make sure I'm the best version of me to give to my children.'

Cat also pressed Lauryn on her comments about having no regrets, asking if - her children aside - she wished she had done anything differently. 

Lauryn confessed: 'No one's perfect in life and hindsight is a wonderful thing. There are maybe things I would probably change but we are where we are.' 

Last month it was claimed Kyle is considering taking out a harassment order against Lauryn to protect the four young children he has with wife Annie.

Mother-of-two Lauryn, who was branded 'difficult, unreasonable and demanding' by a judge during her child maintenance battle, often takes swipes at her ex and his family on social media for the world to see.

Kyle is now said to be taking matters into his own hands by contacting his lawyers over the posts, a source told The Mirror, adding that the star is desperate to protect the four sons he has with Annie.

Two law firms have allegedly advised him he has grounds to take action, with the footballer said to be 'carefully looking at options'.

In the pair's child maintenance battle last month, Judge Edward Hess slammed Lauryn for deliberately causing distress to Kyle's wife.

However, since the judgement, matters have only got worse for the footballer, according to the source.

The source told The Mirror: 'It has gotten worse with stories appearing every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media. It's become impossible for Annie and the kids to ignore.'

They added: '[Kyle] is being advised what his best options are, although he really doesn't want to have to take steps like this.'

Annie previously threw Kyle  out of their £3.5million family home in Cheshire after discovering he had fathered a second child with Goodman.

But in April, Kyle is said to have been by Annie's side as she gave birth to their fourth son, who the couple named Rezon.

Annie announced in January that she was taking 'some time away' from her marriage but they are now said to be working through their issues.
