After discussing financial issues she's been having, Lauren said: 'I'm still carrying on, but how long am I going to carry on for? How do I get through it? Because I have no choice.'

Despite having the other parents over for play dates with her daughter, Lauren confessed that she's worried they won't 'accept' her because she's 'different, but insists that she's 'trying to build a new life'.
Sharing further about the lack of support in her life, Lauren touched on the hernia she suffered with last month and told how she didn't receive a single visitor amid her painful injury.

During the chat, Lauren told how she 'rushed through' her grieving period because of her daughter Larose, going on to state that she now wants 'normality' in her life.
Touching on her love life, she added: 'I've not been with anyone, because I'm not ready. Because there's work I need to do on myself, it's got to be right for Larose, and also, I am Lauren. I need that, I need to be in love.
'If I can't get it from my family and friends, I need to make a new home unit. That's why I am thinking that I need to be ready to start dating.'
It comes after Lauren revealed last month that she feels abandoned by family and friends after 'everyone vanished' from her life following the tragic death of baby daughter Lorena.
Lauren, who is also mother to two-year-old Larose, said that as time has passed her support system has dropped off and she's never experienced such loneliness.
Telling OK!: 'As time's gone on, after what I went through losing Lorena, people think, "Oh, it's been two years now, she's alright". But it's actually worse because you become lonelier. I've never experienced loneliness like it in my life'.
Lauren said she's lost contact with close friends and explained that while her parents don't see as much of Larose as she would hope, elder sister Nicola is the one always on hand for support.
