And it appears the prayers have been answered with Lauren’s loved ones providing some happy news.
Katy took to her daughter’s Twitter page to post a picture of Lauren in her hospital bed, smiling but with her scalp masked with a white fabric covering.
She wrote in her caption: “Lauren has woken up after her brain surgery. They had to shave her hair.
“As you know this is Lauren’s worst nightmare but she would have died if not.
“The amazing staff in the Heath Hospital have been wonderful.
“Thank you for your kind words, her recovery ahead. Update to follow.”
Fans were quick to react and send their best wishes.
One referred to her hair and wrote: “Oh love it will grow back! So glad to see you smiling, looking fabulous as usual xx big love xx”
Another put: “Sending you Lots of Love and hope for a speedy recovery.”
A third then put: “Wishing Lauren a speedy recovery,” as one kind-hearted follower added: “Keep smiling peace love and light.”
Earlier this week, Katy told how her daughter had underwent the key surgery.
She wrote on Twitter: “Please pray or send good thoughts to my precious daughter Lauren who is recovering from emergency brain surgery today.”
It is currently unknown what led to the surgery.
Lauren last tweeted three days before her mum’s announcement, posting: “Back to what I was doing, love you, speak soon.”
The reality veteran was a Big Brother’s Bit On The Side regular for three years before entering the house herself for Celebrity Big Brother in 2013.
Her last TV gig saw her take part in Channel 4 show Naked Attraction in 2019.
The star was born in Surrey in 1978 and is the youngest of three children.
Lauren began making TV appearances in 1988 on Terry Wogan’s UK chat show, Wogan, when she was just 10-years-old.
As Lauren grew up, she believed she was gay, but by her early 20s she identified as transgender.
She started cross dressing in 1997 and in 2001, at the age of 23 underwent gender reassignment surgery.
