Lauren Simon has revealed she was too scared to turn her phone back on after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star was given the boot from the famous house after receiving the least public votes in the second eviction of the series.
Since her axe, Lauren has opened up about her time living with 11 other celebrities and shared what it was like stepping back into reality after being shut off from the outside world.

Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Lauren said: “I was so scared to put my phone on and now I know why. It has been popping and it’s been crazy. I’ve been on Instagram to have a look in the requests to see what people have been saying and I’ve had the most gorgeous messages.
“One lady sent such a good message I responded to her saying thank you. I was nearly crying. They have been so upset that I was out and have said how well I did in there.”
Lauren grew close to X Factor icons Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne during her time on the ITV reality show as well as Love Island beauty Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. She became so fond of Ekin-Su she’s invited her to meet her Real Housewives co-stars and teased a potential cameo stint on the show.

Lauren said: “I’ve invited Ekin-Su to Cheshire., her brother lives in Manchester and we’re going to get her on the Real Housewives. That one has already been talked about. I left her my shampoo, my hairbrush, my makeup remover. She is like my sister, I love her. I know the public when I came out were not seeing what I saw but you have to remember it’s called Big Brother, it is a game and people are playing a game to win. That’s what you do.

“For me, I only saw anything but gorgeous, beautiful inside and out. It’s not confirmed but I’ve invited her over to meet the girlies.” Lauren got stuck in with the house chores in the CBB house and admits she won’t miss them or the bright lights in the bedroom. She said: “I won’t miss cleaning toilets and showers. My final words were ‘I’ll either be going out to a beautiful hotel and seeing my kids or I’ll be coming back and cleaning the toilets.
“We all became human dishwashers. Colson [Smith] was a human hoover, he was on his hands and knees hoovering with his hands. He’s an amazing character even though I couldn’t remember his name. Every single one of them deserves to be there and they are all talented individuals. Apart from the fact it was like sleeping in Selfridges with the lights on and air condition, I had great time.”
Celebrity Big Brother Final airs Friday, March 22 on ITV1, STV and ITVX at 9pm
