Lauren’s emergency op
Her mum broke the news of Lauren’s emergency surgery on Twitter on Friday, asking fans to ‘pray’ for the reality TV star.
She wrote: “Please pray or send good thoughts to my precious daughter Lauren, who is recovering from emergency brain surgery today.”
Lauren was a contestant on the 12th series of Celebrity Big Brother, which aired in 2013. She has also appeared on Celebrity Juice and Naked Attraction.
She went on to the latter in 2019 – and was the first celebrity to do so. But after her appearance, Lauren, who is transgender, announced she was “retiring from public life”.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “I am retiring from the public life and leaving social media. I won’t be on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. I am giving it all up. It’s because I cannot take all the negativity towards me. After Naked Attraction there was loads.”
