Lauren Harries' family have spoken out to update fans on her condition, after the Celebrity Big Brother was placed in a coma by doctors earlier this month.

Lauren, who became a massive fan favourite when she went into the Big Brother house in 2013, underwent brain surgery in April, after becoming gravely ill with a sudden illness. And her family broke the worrying news on Monday, June 6, the 45-year-old's family revealed the sad news that Lauren's condition had taken a turn for the worse. Sharing an update with fans, they wrote: "Last night Lauren had a seizure and doctors have had to put her into an induced coma to get it under control" asking for everyone to pray for her.

On Friday, a post appeared on Lauren's Twitter account, sharing a picture of her using a walking frame, adding the caption: "Lauren hasn't had a seizure for a few days which is a great relief. She still can't walk without help. We are still waiting for tests and her toes are in a lot of pain. She's a fighter and been through so much. Thank you to everyone who is staying positive and praying for her. She loves you all."
