Celebrity Big Brother star Lauren Harries’ family spark concern with worrying health update after brain surgery
LAUREN Harries’ family have sparked concern after issuing a worrying update about her health after her emergency brain surgery.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, 45, is back under “close watch” in hospital as her family asked fans for their “prayers”.
One of Lauren’s loved ones updated her twitter account with an update tonight about her condition after she was rushed to hospital for the operation last week.
They wrote: “Yesterday they moved Lauren back to recovery, she is under close watch. She still has memory issues and confusion. The doctors say that she does not need another operation atm they are taking it day by day. Please pray for her and send her your love. Thank you for your kindness.”
Just days ago, Lauren had appeared to be on the mend as her mum Katy gave a positive update on her daughter’s condition on Sunday, following her surgery.
On April 16, 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.”
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.
