Lauryn Goodman has appeared to issue a plea to Kyle Walker's parents as she says 'I haven't got years'. The Channel 4 Celebs Go Dating star shares two children with the Manchester City footballer.

Kyle admitted to fathering Lauryn's two children Kairo, four, and Kinara, one, during flings but is said to have little involvement in their lives. He also has four children with his wife Annie Kilner.

Speaking on the Yours Sincerely podcast alongside Lisa Andrews, Lauryn hit out at critics who say she should stop complaining about Kyle's lack of involvement with their children as he contributes financially. She also slammed claims she forces her Kairo to discuss his the England footballer in social media videos.

The reality star went on to reveal that there is no longer contact between her children and Kyle's parents - their grandparents. Lauryn read out a message from a fan thanking her for publicly sharing her custody battles, Mirror reports.

The fan said: "I'm hoping tomorrow will be the beginning of a new chapter and a happier life I can't wait to feel free again. I just hope I can find the strength to stay away for for good this this time not just for me but for my little girl too.

"Thank you for sharing your journey with us fans and for giving me the strength to take this big step once and for all now." Reacting to the emotional message, Lauryn told her co-host Lisa: "So sad but if this message doesn't like make me want to continue my journey in public I don't know what would because for me... I mean even just saying 'your strength has kept me going these last few months' - she's a mum! My heart goes out to her."

Lauryn then read a direct message from an Instagram user telling her "you get money, you should be fine. Stop complaining, your kids get a good life". In response, Lauryn said: "Why are you talking about money? I'm into sentimental things."

Co-host Lisa added: "Money isn't love!" The Celebs Go Dating star then hit back at claims she forces her eldest child to talk about his dad on her social media videos.

Lauryn said: "I mean, do people think that I sit there going "rehearse this line?" Why would I want my child to talk about it. Sometimes it's so ridiculous... do I even need to [justify it]."

She then immediately moved on to a question from a fan asking if Kyle's family are involved in Kairo and Kinara's lives. She said: "Obviously [what] I think people don't realize is they did have a relationship with his side of the family, the grandparents. They had really nice family days out etc, but obviously that stopped in December."

Earlier in the episode, Lauryn's co-host revealed that her son has no relationship with his paternal grandparents or his father. Lisa said: "I'm sitting here and it's too late."

Lauryn told Lisa: "My heart just went - I thought you meant my situation." Lisa then consoled Lauryn, telling her: "You've got years [to mend the kids' relationship with their grandparents]".

But Lauryn confessed: "I haven't got years."
