When we were first invited into the world of Cheshire’s most glamorous housewives in 2015, Lauren Simon was one of the cast’s biggest stars – and famed for her feisty attitude.The ITVBe show proved so popular it became the channel’s second highest rated series – behind The Only Way Is Essex – drawing in 600,000 viewers at its peak.
But it wasn’t long before Lauren’s life changed completely. She split from her property tycoon husband Paul, who is the father of her two daughters, in 2016 after 13 years of marriage.
She decided to take a break from the show in 2019 to deal with the divorce battle, which saw her granted a £3 million payout.
