The mum of Celebrity Big Brother star Lauren Harries has shared a health update about her daughter following brain surgery.
The 45-year-old reality star was rushed to hospital last week and had to undergo an emergency procedure.
While exact details of the surgery aren't known, Lauren’s mum Katy shared the transgender TV personality was recovering and asked fans to pray for her.
She shared a new photo on Lauren’s Twitter account which showed her wearing a purple dressing gown in a hospital bed.
“Yesterday they moved Lauren back to recovery, she is under close watch,” Katy wrote.
“She still has memory issues and confusions. The doctors say 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 update came four days after it was revealed Lauren “could have died” if she hadn’t had the life-saving procedure.
In another Twitter post, her mum Katy said doctors had to shave Lauren’s hair off to perform the operation - her “worst nightmare”.
But the TV star still managed to raise a smile as she was pictured bandaged up in a hospital bed.
"Lauren has woken up after her brain surgery. They had to shave her hair. As you know this is Lauren's worst nightmare but she would have died if not.
"The amazing staff in the Heath Hospital have been wonderful. Thank you for your kind words, her recovery ahead. Update to follow," Katy wrote on Lauren's account.
Fans were quick to comment on the posts sending their well wishes and prayers and wishing Lauren a speedy recovery.
One wrote: “Thinking of you Lauren, sending you endless love x.”
Another said: “Sending strength and love to you. I wish you a speedy recovery and you look beautiful even without hair so don’t you worry!”
“You’re in my prayers Lauren, you’re a fighter and a strong woman. Sending nothing but love. We cannot wait to see you back to your fabulous gorgeous self,” a third tweeted.
A fourth commented: “Over the last few years you tweeted msgs of love and I hope you realise how they helped me and others in rough times. I hope our msgs of love and thoughts can do the same back. Take care dearest Lauren xx.”
While a fifth added: “Come on Lauren you got this. Praying for you sweetheart.”
Lauren found fame as a child antiques expert called James, who appeared on the Antiques Roadshow and Wogan.
She had gender reassignment surgery in 2001 and remerged into the spotlight as Lauren.
Most people will remember her for her star turn on Celebrity Big Brother in 2013, which saw her come third with Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby taking the top spot.
