She had quickly formed friendships with Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu when she entered the. However, when Lauren found herself at risk of eviction, Sharon had been given the chance to save her a day earlier, but chose not to, opting to save Zeze Millz instead.

After leaving, Lauren told the hosts AJ and Will that she had the best time in the house and was "overwhelmed".

Who is Lauren Simon? 

Lauren Simon found fame on ITVBe's The Real Housewives of Cheshire where she was the centre of plenty of dramas, joining the franchise in 2014.

Simon was born and bred in Cheshire. Before she joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Cheshire, she worked in PR and marketing for VIP events and nightclubs.

Lauren left the show at the end of series eight, which aired in 2018. She returned to the show again in 2020. 

The reality star has two children Gigi and Kika, with her ex-husband property developer Paul Simon. They were married for 15 years before divorcing

She previously shared that she has “never worked so hard” as she battled through the heartbreak of her divorce by launching a perfume business to show her daughters they don’t need to be “tied to a man” to succeed.

Simon has also made various guest appearances on several television shows including Release the Hounds, CelebAbility and Your Face or Mine?

In February 2022, she appeared on an episode of Celebrity Dinner Date. And in April 2022, Simon joined Happy Radio, a local station for Cheshire and South Manchester, as one of the presenters. She presented a weekday show from 3–4pm titled Lauren's Happy Hour.

In January 2024, Simon appeared in an episode of the Channel 4 series First Dates. But the rendezvous quickly became awkward when her date didn’t know who she was.

“So what do you do?” Simon’s date asked, before Lauren said: “I think you know what I do." But, she was left looking very awkward when Chiles responded: “No? I have no idea. Why? Why would I have guessed? There's a story there, right? I'm very intrigued by what you do, you're very secretive about it.”
