On Monday, her family shared: “Last night Lauren had a seizure and doctors have had to put her into an induced coma to get it under control.
“Lauren needs all your support and wishes, she loves you all.”
The worrying update came just days after Lauren posted on social media following her emergency brain surgery.
Lauren’s mum Katy, who has been keeping fans updated, said medical staff had been stumped by Lauren’s illness.
Lauren found fame as a child antiques expert called James, who appeared on the Antiques Roadshow and Wogan, before undergoing gender reassignment surgery in 2001.
After a gap from the spotlight she re-emerged as Lauren to star on Channel 5 series Trust Me – I’m A Beauty Therapist and then, in 2013, starred on Celebrity Big Brother on the same channel.
