LAUREN, 27, told friends she feels humiliated after discovering the six-second clip of her performing a sex act on a mystery man was circulated.
REALITY TV star Lauren Goodger has become the latest victim of the revenge porn craze.
Footage of the former TOWIE beauty performing a sex act on a mystery man has been shared between hundreds of people on mobile phones.
Lauren, 27, told friends she feels humiliated after discovering the six-second clip was being exchanged last week.
She is understood to have confronted the man, whose face cannot be seen in the clip, after it was leaked.
A source said: “Lauren is distraught that somebody who she trusted has allowed this to happen.
“She is furious it has been sent to so many people. It was a private moment and was never intended to be seen by anybody else.

“But there is nothing she can do to stop it. Laws need to be changed to put an end to revenge porn.”
Lauren is the most high-profile victim so far of an internet phenomenon in which jilted lovers share naked photos and sex videos of their exes.
Lauren’s last relationship was with property developer Jake McLean, 25. They got together in October 2012 after they were introduced by mutual friends while she was training for Dancing On Ice.
He moved into her Essex flat after six months and she tweeted he was the love of her life. But Lauren is said to have dumped him just before Christmas after a series of arguments.
The video of her emerged as the Government last week pledged to discuss law changes to curb revenge porn following a Sunday Mirror investigation.
Legal experts now claim new regulations could be made law within weeks. An amendment has been tabled for the Criminal Courts and Justice Bill passing through the Lords.
It would make the publication of sexually explicit images without permission a criminal offence.

Revenge porn has been linked to a number of suicides. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling warned it was “becoming a bigger problem in our society”.
But some campaigners claim any new privacy law concerning the internet could be “a recipe for disaster” and called on ministers to act “with a clear head”.
After her split, heartbroken Lauren threw herself into partying with pals on a series of boozy nights out with pals.
She also posted messages on her Instagram page, with one reading: “People think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value.
“The truth is, the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much.”
Another said: “Do not chase people. Be you and do your own thing and work hard. The right people who belong in your life will come to you, and stay.”
She also wrote: “I crave a love so deep the ocean would be jealous.”
The aspiring businesswoman previously dated her TOWIE co-star Mark Wright on and off for 10 years, before the pair finally parted ways in 2011.
The 27-year-old has since gone on to find love with Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan. He proposed to her while on holiday in Dubai last September.
Mark recently dismissed his relationship with Lauren as merely a teenage romance and claimed he “obviously” had not loved her.
