Lauren was taken to the hospital by her friend after the incident for medical tests.
The Dancing on Ice and Big Brother star is currently awaiting the results of X-rays.
“Lauren is absolutely terrified. This has shaken her badly,” a source told the Sun on Sunday.
“He has suffered some nasty injuries and it is feared he has broken the socket of the eye.”
The source added: “Lauren is now in hiding with a friend. He actually pointed out that Charlie’s bail conditions do not specify that he is being kept out of the Essex area.
“He does not want to be allowed to set foot in Essex. She is very shocked by this situation.’
Charles denies attacking Lauren, telling the Sun: “There’s a completely different side to things.”
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said on Friday night: “Police were called at 00:37 on Thursday, August 4 to reports of a fight.
“Officers attended. A 30-year-old woman with facial injuries was found at the scene.
“A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault. He was taken to an east London police station and subsequently bailed pending further enquiries. The investigations are continuing.”
A representative for Lauren did not respond to MailOnline’s request for comment before publication.
Lauren and Charles met in October 2020 and announced they were expecting a child together three months after going public with their relationship.
The Towie star had teased she was dating someone new before the identity of Charles, a builder and former lover of Katie Price, was revealed.
The couple have a one-year-old daughter together, Larose.
In January, she revealed that she is expecting her second child.

The alleged attack happened just hours after Lauren attended her daughter Lorena’s funeral.
Doctors tried in vain to save the 9kg baby but she was born with two knots in her umbilical cord which was tied around her neck.
After she died, her traumatized mother spent hours saying goodbye to her.
The heartbroken star also later revealed that she still “has a little bump” that sometimes tricks her into thinking her baby girl was “still there”.
He said: “It’s strange. My body feels like it’s upset, like it’s missing a newborn.’
Lauren posted a message on Instagram saying how much she loved her daughter, who died minutes after she was born on July 8, saying: “I carried you, I felt you grow. I longed for the day we would meet. You dreamed about your future. I not only knew you, I fell in love with you.’
