Following recent brain surgery, doctors are closely monitoring Lauren Harries.
The Celebrity Big Brother contestant, who made an appearance on the programme in 2013, underwent a “emergency” procedure last week, with her mother asking for prayers online.
Taking to Twitter on Friday (April 14), Katy wrote: ‘Please pray or send good thoughts to my precious daughter Lauren @Laurenharries. Who is recovering from emergency brain surgery today’.
As well-wishers gathered to Lauren, who subsequently said she was recovering but had gone through her “worst nightmare” of losing her hair.
Lauren is shown in a recent photo posted to her official Facebook page resting in her hospital bed.
The transsexual child star, 45, who gained notoriety as an antiques expert, is lying on cushions with her head propped up on cables while dressed in a dressing robe.
‘Yesterday they moved Lauren back to recovery, she is under close watch,’ the tweet read.
‘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’, the message concluded.
Lauren’s followers showered her with well wishes, as one replied: ‘Thinking of you Lauren, sending you endless love x’
‘Oh no so sorry to hear this , get well soon xxxx’, another penned.
‘Omg. Sending prayers to Lauren. I cannot believe this!!’, another responded.
The Heath Hospital staff has received acclaim from Lauren’s family in the past for their “wonderful” care.
The reality personality gained notoriety for her time on CBB, when she placed in third behind winner Charlotte Crosby and runner-up Abz Love.
She also made an appearance on Naked Attraction, making history as the first famous person to get naked on the strange dating programme.
Unfortunately, she didn’t leave with a date.
