"Having been a cast member since the very beginning, I’m honoured to be making my return to the show," Lauren said.

The 44-year-old left the ITVBe show in 2018 and despite bosses remaining tight-lipped on her reason for stepping away, her co-star Dawn Ward told that she left due to personal reasons.
