Who is Lauren Simon?

Unlike some of her co-stars, Lauren was born and bred in Cheshire.

Coming from a wealthy family background, she has always lived in the area, apart from spending several years partying in London and Marbella.

Before she joined the cast of the popular ITVBe show back in 2015, she worked in PR and marketing for VIP events and nightclubs.

Lauren is one of the more loveable and eccentric members of the cast.

Lauren remained on the show until series eight, which aired in 2018, but then left the show without an explanation.
