Her family broke the heartbreaking news on social media that the 45-year-old’s condition had taken a turn for the worse on June 6.
Sharing the news on Twitter, they wrote: “Last night Lauren had a seizure and doctors have had to put her into an induced coma to get it under control” asking for everyone to pray for her.
On Friday (June 16), Lauren’s family gave a new update on her health, sharing a picture of her using a walking frame.
They penned next to the snap: “Lauren hasn’t had a seizure for a few days which is a great relief. She still can’t walk without help.
“We are still waiting for tests and her toes are in a lot of pain. She’s a fighter and been through so much.
“Thank you to everyone who is staying positive and praying for her. She loves you all.”
The post received a lot of support from fans, with one follower writing: “Keep going Lauren. Good to see you up and looking glam”
A second one wrote: “Sending so much love, Lauren. Take all the time you need.”
“Great news to hear Lauren, get well soon xxx,” a third commented.
A fourth penned: “Glad to see your on the mend! You got this sending lots of love and positivity.”
Lauren found fame as a child antiques expert who appeared on the Antiques Roadshow and Wogan.
She went on to appear on the Channel 5 series Trust Me – I’m A Beauty Therapist and then, in 2013, starred on Celebrity Big Brother.
She finished third in the competition, with Geordie Shore‘s Charlotte Crosby winning the series.
