Sending best wishes

In latest Lauren Harries news, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant is in an induced coma following a seizure.

Former child prodigy Lauren, 45, underwent emergency brain surgery earlier this year. Less than a fortnight later, it was reported she was rushed to intensive care due to infections causing her problems with her breathing.

And on Sunday evening, a further health update issued by Lauren’s Twitter account revealed the reality TV star has been put in a coma by medics in order to bring her symptoms under control.

Lauren needs all your support and wishes, she loves you all.

“Lauren needs all your support and wishes, she loves you all.”

The previous tweet posted on the account – reportedly by Lauren’s mother – detailed her family’s worry over Lauren’s condition.

A short video clip attached to the Saturday June 3 post also showed a shaven-headed Lauren recovering in her hospital bed.

The tweet read: “One of the scariest experiences of a mother’s life, seeing your child hurting. All I wanted to do was swap places with Lauren. This is just after her brain surgery, even then we had no idea if we’d ever get our Lauren back again. Seeing her like this was terrifying. She has been so brave and I am so proud of her for all she’s been through. We love you so much Lauren.”
