I've spoken about this before on another thread. Many dismissed it.

Just there on live feed she said her family has really struggled financially and they're hoping this will lead to magazine deals etc.

It really is all about the money with the Harries family and they will go to any lengths to get it. If that means being deceitful then so be it. Lauren has been trained from a very early age to lie and deceive.

I believe the game plan is for Lauren to get people to feel sorry for her, win the sympathy vote. She also has to come across as sweet and caring.

Those who have watched Lauren on BBBOTS will know just how nasty she is. For the most part she's managed to hide that side of her. It's all an act though.

'They' aren't hoping for magazine deals. Lauren is so she can help her family out. What's wrong with that?

You may very well be right, but you do realise that Lauren has gotten her fee now so all she has to do to keep it is to ride it out until she is actually voted out. Winning does not bring in any more money on CBB.

Personally, whatever about her family, I think winning means far more to Lauren than just money, but then, who am I to say? It's just my personal opinion.

Nothing admitting you need the money and your doing BB to earn money for her family, at least she is honest about it. If her and family haven't got much money then it is going to be important to her. She also said she wants to do the show so she can get her books published, most hm's do BB for a reason, if not money it can be to enhance there career. I don't see a problem with it.

Her father was sent to prison for burning down his own shop, her mother father, brothers, and Lauren herself have all faked what qualifications they have, the uni they went to was there own house.

Lauren's parents have put everything into making her famous so they can cash in ... Sadly they are fake and fakes get found out ...

Lauren believes fame is her right..for that I blame her vile parents

Daddy is very much still pulling the strings. He's the organ grinder and always has been. Lauren is his creation.

She was only in the house a matter of days and she was already accusing someone of being transphobic. Oh, she knows exactly what she is doing.

A bunch of con artists who view Lauren as a cash cow. They see this as their last big chance to cash in.

Aren't they all in it for the money and the exposure? the only difference is that Lauren openly admits it - why does that make her worse than anyone else in there?

Have you watched the documentary about her family?

Maybe you should and it will all become clear.

Totally agree...I bet her dad has told her exactly how to play it ..

Oh great, a professional train wreck. That's no way to raise your daughter, if true.

I'm not watching LF, but i wonder, did Lauren sound excited by the idea, or was it more a plea for help?

The others already have careers, even though they might be on the wane. Has Lauren ever had a job? Why is she a celebrity? What is she celebrated for?

Although I agree Lauren's parents will go to any lengths to gain exposure, 95% of those who agree to appear on CBB only do it for money and/or exposure so what's the big deal in this case?

Didn't she sound off in the DR about how she hated the term "transgender" and now it seems to come out of her mouth every 5 minutes?

Her parents thrust her into tv as a young boy of 8 on Antiques shows, the Wogan Show and many others, I think she (or he as she was back then) even did Oprah. I'm a little fed up of Lauren being blamed for all sorts when it's obviously been her parents pulling her strings and using her as a cash cow from a very young age, then isolating her from any sort of real life when all the tv shows dried up. What with the transgender thing, her Scoliosis medication and her Dyspraxia, and parents like that, it's no wonder the poor woman doesn't know if she's coming or going half the time !

She said the plan is to write an autobiography, and her father told her appearing on BB would raise her profile and sell more books

She is in her mid thirties and is still clearly controlled by the parents who have used her as a meal ticket since she was a little boy

I know it a dam shame.

was that the alleged fraudulent insurance scam ? And Lauren said on LF to Mario that she wants a book deal to write her story out of BB - and for her brother who doesn't get her, to see her to try understand her more by watching the show.

She's famous for pretending to be an antiques expert.

Is it ok to "accuse!" someone of having a phobia?

Do we barrate people for a fear of flying, or a fear of enclosed spaces etc?

Lauren has been a good housemate to watch, She was homesick but has not moaned about wanting to leave nor has she cheered when the other housemates have nominated her.
She also tried to address the criticisms made by other the housemates about her untidiness and not helping around the house.
I never liked Lauren before especially when she and Pete Burns were really critical and horrible on BBBOTS a couple of seasons ago especially to the winner Aaron.
Changed my mind about her now because she appears to have changed. In this CBB house she has come across as really quite a sweet and gentle person.

Really!! I think I have heard Lauren mention it twice. I don't watch Live Feed though.

I agree with this. She does seem to believe that she is entitled to fame and fortune. According to that extract from her book she believes she has talent that needs to be showcased in order for her to get her big break, with no indication of what these said talents are. All of this completley encouraged by her mother.
