She survived one public vote but Jersey girl and potato farmer, Lauren, couldn't win against fellow Outsider Luke A and has become the seventh to leave the Big Brother House.

The 20-year-old criminology student (who usually spends her time at University in Liverpool) has said that her biggest fear is of "going out to a crowd who're booing". Lauren has, more than any of the other housemates, been on an intense emotional rollercoaster. Her first week in the House involved tears falling like rain as the carefree tomboy got her head round the intense social environment that became her home. Early flirtations with Luke S backfired when the cheesy smile-boasting promoter got together with Ashleigh. From this point on, Lauren found herself in a vulnerable position.

She toughened up a little as the weeks progressed and found a firm and feisty friend in Benedict... before he was booted out. This proved the beginning of her initiation into The Outsiders and her friendship with Adam and Luke A has gone from strength to strength. After The Outsiders lost Lydia, Adam decided the time was ripe for the innocent-minded Lauren to have a crash course in the tactical realities of Big Brother. It was eye-opening.

Always athletic and energetic, Lauren enjoyed play-fighting and massaging Arron before he was evicted. More recently Adam has been the subject of her romps. There have been massages, gyrating and a lot of getting tangled in each other’s limbs. Considering that Adam has confessed an attraction to the Kylie-lookalike we have to wonder what would have happened between the duo if fate - in the form of the public vote - hadn't wrenched them apart.

Her relationship with most of the House females has been fraught with mistrust but she eventually formed a touching bond with the other lady who's had a battle on her hands from Day One: Deana.

In tasks she has always applied herself, when not engaged in dastardly sabotage plans. We will always remember her impressive if decidedly niche ability to run in a hamster wheel, as demonstrated during the Lab Rats task.

She's come a seriously long way since her teary early days. We'll remember her as the back-flipping black-belt with a crazy laugh and a bacon and nicotine habit that no man should cross. Most of all, we'll remember her as a brave and brilliant housemate who dared to let her true, sweet colours rule.
