Popularity in house: Lauren has been evicted

Interesting facts: Lauren describes herself as 'messy, unfiltered and wild'

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star isn't a stranger to having her name splashed across the headlines following her bitter divorce becoming one of the main storylines of the reality TV show. She had been married to property tycoon Paul Simon for 13 years but the couple split in 2018 after which Lauren received a £ 3 million settlement.

But it didn't end there as Paul won an appeal after claiming they only had £ 2 million in assets between them and no cash of his own. In February last year, a consent order was approved and Lauren was given the right to live in a £1.8 million mansion in Altrincham for life but only if she agreed to drop all other bids to get Paul's money.

While she's remained off Twitter since 2020, Lauren still regularly posts on Instagram to show off her glam makeovers and star-studded nights out. Considering her loud, no-nonsense attitude, Lauren could make an interesting housemate. Speaking before the 2024 Celebrity Big Brother launch show, Lauren revealed Adam Sandler would be the worst housemate and confessed Bradley Cooper would be her dream man inside the house.
