The 34-year-old – who also shares daughter Larose with boyfriend Charles Drury – said she had no pregnancy or childbirth complications, writing that “words cannot describe a mother losing your baby that I have perfected for all these months and also gave birth so that my angel would be taken from me.”

The lyrics of Celine’s re-recorded solo version, which played on Lauren’s Story, read: ‘Lead her to a place. Guide her with your grace. To a place where she will be safe.’

When Lauren announced that she and Charles, 24, had suffered the loss of Lorena, she wrote that her daughter was “well and healthy.”

She shared a black and white photo of her deceased baby girl’s hand, saying, “I’m heartbroken I’m back home from the hospital Me and Charlie spent just as much time with our girl Lorena and I haven’t said goodbye yet.

“Larose, she’s my rock to get me through this, otherwise I wouldn’t survive… I’ll never get over this, but I’ll learn to live every day with Lorena in my heart, she’ll always be with me and I’ll be with her again one day… My 👼 Lorena, I love you so much.’

Numerous stars shared messages of condolence for Lauren under her post, including Towie star Danielle Armstong, who wrote: ‘Oh dear, heartbroken for your strength and love and hope you get the respect and privacy you need to grieve 🤍 xxxx. ‘
