Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline, said: 'At Trainline, we know that great nights out start long before you reach the venue – they start with the journey.

That's why we launched SlayStation – to celebrate the journey and make it as iconic as the destination.'

TOWIE star unrecognisable 15 years on from reality show as she admits surgery regret
TOWIE star unrecognisable 15 years on from reality show as she admits surgery regret She was one of the original cast members on The Only Way Is Essex when it first hit screens in 2010 Lauren Goodger fears she's 'ruined her looks' and admits - 'I hate my fake boobs and bum now' (Image: Mike Marsland/WireImage/Getty ) Fifteen years after her debut on The Only Way Is Essex, Lauren Goodger is almost unrecognisable and openly acknowledges the transformation. Back in 2010, when TOWIE first hit our screens, Lauren was among the fresh faces catapulted into fame, showcasing their glitzy Brentwood lifestyles to viewers across the country. Now at 38, Lauren has been forthright about her numerous cosmetic surgeries and the subsequent regrets. The reality TV personality, who made a comeback to TOWIE last year, expressed her discontent with her altered appearance: "I've ruined my looks with surgery. I hate my fake boobs and bum now. I feel like my body looks abnormal. I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum." She further lamented: "When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see are lumps and bumps everywhere." She shot to fame on TOWIE alongside Mark Wright (Image: UK Press via Getty Images ) Lauren rose to prominence as one of the original members of TOWIE, gaining attention for her relationship with fellow cast member Mark Wright, who has since married Michelle Keegan and they have had their first child, reports the Mirror. Article continues below Lauren left the show in 2012 post her split, briefly returned in 2016, and then re-joined the cast last year, feeling it was the right time to re-enter the limelight. Lauren has been open about the various cosmetic procedures she has undergone, starting with a nose job in 2011 after an accident and later, a breast enhancement in 2013. Her quest for changes didn't end there; in 2017, she flew to Turkey for a Brazilian butt lift, a decision she recently expressed regret over and is now exploring ways to reverse. She shared a candid Instagram post about wanting her breast implants removed (Image: Instagram/Lauren Goodger ) In a candid disclosure, Lauren admitted: "I'm not sure how I'm going to do that yet. I'm not sure if there is a procedure that can reverse the BBL. I'm looking into potentially getting the fat sucked out, but I don't know if that's an option. I'm going to speak to lots of different surgeons and figure out my options." Labelling the BBL as "the worst experience" she's had, Lauren is intent on regaining her natural shape but remains uncertain on the best method forward. Furthermore, she's embraced lip fillers, unveiling earlier in 2023 her adoption of the 'butterfly effect' technique, a favourite of Katie Price, to her social media audience, commenting: "I've just had the butterfly effect lip fillers by Lift Aesthetics, I've got the tape on at the minute so I'm talking really weird. She is hoping to reverse her BBL procedure too "I'm very swollen but literally a new technique, it's so amazing and I can't wait to see the results." She recently disclosed that her struggles with anxiety have held her back from pursuing more permanent changes. In an emotional revelation on Instagram, she expressed: "I have suffered tremendous anxiety due to things I've been through which led me to being caffeine and alcohol free but also stopped me being able go abroad on holiday or have surgery or so minor treatments I've been so bad with anxiety. Article continues below "But today I've spoke to the amazing @simonsmithsurgeon as I want to take the step to get my implants removed in my boobs... I do not want them I just need to get this done and I'm terrified but I know it's also much healthier for me and I don't need them anymore. I can't wait for my natural boobs back xxxx."

EXCLUSIVE Experts reveal what 30-year-olds should look like now - and why it's changed
Age is just a number - but thanks to beauty treatments, sophisticated skincare routines, the subtle plastic surgery, that number is getting harder to figure out based on how someone looks. Back in the '90s, the face of a 30-something-year-old looked very distinct, but now, age-reducing procedures and modern makeup techniques has made age a lot more ambiguous. Gen Z TikTok users are regularly expressing their disbelief when they discover a celebrity has a '3' in front of their age - such as when fans were stunned to learn Bridgerton star, Nicola Coughlan, was 37-years-old. In March, fans were left stunned over Anne Hathaway's youthful appearance after the 42-year-old showed off her stunning glow at the Moncler Grenoble Fall/Winter 2025 Show, with the actress throwing people into a tailspin thanks to her flawless skin. And in May, Kris Jenner - who is almost 70 - debuted a new look that left fans gushing that she appeared decades younger. Social media has certainly changed the perception of what middle-age should look like. In the past, TV shows like Cheers or Seinfeld very painted a different image of what a person in this 30s looks like, with many of the characters appearing much older than what it is perceived today of people in their 30s. 'The perception of 30 has changed because cosmetic procedures have become normalized, especially on social media,' Dr. Ann Monis, a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist at Medical Anti-Aging told the Daily Mail about the phenomenon. '[Influencers and public figures are sharing] their injectables, skin treatments and surgical tweaks,' Dr. Monis explained. 'That constant visibility shifts what we think is typical for 30.' Dr. Monis added that the shift isn't just cultural, but psychological as well. 'This is happening because repetition changes how the brain sets expectations,' the medical professional explained. 'When someone sees the same kind of edited or altered face over and over, the brain will then start treating that image as the baseline. It becomes the new 'normal' even though it is not natural or accurate.' She said in the past, people tried to dial back the clock all at once, whereas now, due to a combination of accessibility and new procedures, the change is happening slowly and from an earlier age. 'What used to be considered early signs of aging is now something people feel they need to erase before it fully appears,' Dr. Monis pointed out. Dr. Joshua Korman, a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Korman Plastic Surgery, based in Northern California, agreed, noting that '30 years ago, 50 really was kind of middle age.' 'I think a lot of times middle age may be 70 now,' Dr. Korman, who has worked as a plastic surgeon for 30 years, continued. Dr. Korman claimed the ideal face of a 30-year-old is: 'No pimples and no wrinkles.' '[People are] turning to technologies and medications to make the skin more rejuvenated, even at a young age, like in the 20s and as people approach 30,' he said. Dr. Korman shared that we age in four ways, which can be remedied through various treatments. 'We age with gravity, volume loss, skin texture and dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles when we smile,' he explained. 'So there's treatments for each one of those things, and surgical stuff really deals with the gravity.' Dr. Monis noted the normalized surgical approach to halting age has resulted in an unrealistic standard being set and normalized - something she personally has noted. 'Patients will bring in filtered photos, not to say they want to look enhanced, but because they believe that's how people their age actually look,' she revealed. Dr. Monis warned this can lead to people constantly aiming for a version of 30 that 'is not even grounded in reality.' 'The constant exposure to curated faces has trained people to see youth as a polished look, not a stage of life,' she said.

Lauren Goodger's BBL surgery regret as she looks worlds away from TOWIE debut
Lauren Goodger says she's 'ruined her looks' and looks "abnormal" as she plans to ditch her implants, 15 years after rising to fame alongside Mark Wright on The Only Way Is Essex Fifteen years on from her first appearance on The Only Way Is Essex, Lauren Goodger looks dramatically different and she's the first to admit it. When the hit reality show launched back in 2010, Lauren was one of a group of unknowns who quickly found themselves thrust into the spotlight, with their glamorous lives in Brentwood playing out in front of the nation. Fast-forward to now, and Lauren, 38, has spoken candidly about the many cosmetic procedures she's undergone over the years – and the regrets that have come with them. The reality star, who returned to TOWIE last year, said: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery. I hate my fake boobs and bum now. I feel like my body looks abnormal. I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum.' She added: 'When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see are lumps and bumps everywhere.' Lauren shot to fame as part of TOWIE 's original line-up and quickly became a central figure thanks to her high-profile relationship with co-star Mark Wright, who is now married to Michelle Keegan and has welcomed their first child. After exiting the show in 2012 following her break-up, she made a short return in 2016 before deciding to rejoin the cast again last year, saying it felt like the right moment to step back into the public eye. Over the years, Lauren has openly discussed the many changes she's made to her appearance. Back in 2011, she revealed she had undergone a rhinoplasty to fix a broken nose following an accident. She then opted for breast augmentation surgery in 2013, boosting her cup size from 34D to 34E. But one of the most significant transformations came in 2017, when she travelled to Turkey for a Brazilian bum lift, an experience she revealed in 2023 she regrets and is looking for a way to reverse the procedure. Speaking honestly, she said: 'I'm not sure how I'm going to do that yet. I'm not sure if there is a procedure that can reverse the BBL. I'm looking into potentially getting the fat sucked out, but I don't know if that's an option. I'm going to speak to lots of different surgeons and figure out my options.' She went on to call the BBL 'the worst experience' of her life, explaining she now wants a more natural figure again but isn't certain how to achieve that. Lip fillers have also featured heavily in Lauren's beauty journey. In early 2023, she debuted the results of the 'butterfly effect' filler trend the same one favoured by Katie Price telling followers: 'I've just had the butterfly effect lip fillers by Lift Aesthetics, I've got the tape on at the minute so I'm talking really weird. 'I'm very swollen but literally a new technique, it's so amazing and I can't wait to see the results.' Despite her long-standing openness about treatments and enhancements, Lauren revealed that her battles with anxiety had previously stopped her from making more permanent changes. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she shared: 'I have suffered tremendous anxiety due to things I've been through which led me to being caffeine and alcohol free but also stopped me being able go abroad on holiday or have surgery or so minor treatments I've been so bad with anxiety…' 'But today I've spoke to the amazing @simonsmithsurgeon as I want to take the step to get my implants removed in my boobs… I do not want them I just need to get this done and I'm terrified but I know it's also much healthier for me and I don't need them anymore. I can't wait for my natural boobs back xxxx.' From Essex glam queen to a woman on a journey back to herself, Lauren Goodger is ready to leave the past behind one procedure at a time as she embraces her natural look.
