The reality TV star underwent the emergency op last month after being rushed to hospital with a mystery condition.
Lauren, 45, has had a challenging recovery ever since ending up in ICU.
Her mum revealed she had suffered from blackouts and a drooping face following the emergency procedure.
She caught Covid as well as two infections, which caused her to suffer breathing problems.
Katy has been sharing pictures of Lauren with fans – urging them to “pray” for her.
The reality star had to face her “worst nightmare” when her head was shaved for surgery.
Her friends and fans flooded the comments section in support, calling her a “fighter” and wishing her to “get better soon”.
Lauren is best known for appearances as a child on TV shows including Wogan and After Dark.
The reality veteran was a Big Brother’s Bit On The Side regular for three years before entering the house herself for Celebrity Big Brother in 2013.
Her last TV gig saw her take part in Channel 4 show Naked Attraction in 2019.
The star was born in Surrey in 1978 and is the youngest of three children.
Lauren began making TV appearances in 1988 on Terry Wogan’s UK chat show, Wogan, when she was just 10-years-old.

She started cross dressing in 1997 and in 2001, at the age of 23 underwent gender reassignment surgery.
