Celebrity Big Brother star Lauren Harries rushed into intensive care as mum gives health update

Lauren Harries has been rushed into intensive care following brain surgery, her mother has confirmed. The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant underwent the surgery last week after she was taken to hospital with a mystery condition.

The 45-year-old, who starred in TV shows including Wogan and After Dark, was taken for surgery in hospital earlier this month. Her mother, Katy, previously urged fans of the reality TV star to "pray" for her daughter after waking up from the surgery.
