It’s said that the Cronulla girl met the former Spice Girl when she was here filming The X Factor Australia in Sydney last year and is now well-known and trusted by the singer.

Lauren, who previously dated former NRL player Jack Elsegood, has been in Los Angeles the past few weeks to be by Mel’s side during her bitter divorce with her restraining order against her US film producer husband coming into effect.
