Celebrity Big Brother star Lauren Harries has been put into an induced coma after undergoing brain surgery.
The reality TV personality underwent the procedure in April after falling ill with a mystery illness.
Updating fans on Lauren's health battle, her family shared: "Last night Lauren had a seizure and doctors have had to put her into an induced coma to get it under control.
"Lauren needs all your support and wishes, she loves you all."
She was inundated with get well messages from fans.
One wrote: "Sending lots of Hope and Love."
The worrying update comes just days after Lauren posted to social media following her emergency brain surgery.
Lauren, who featured in the Celebrity Big Brother house in August 2013, said she was enduring her "worst nightmare" in hospital as she spoke of her despair at having to shave her hair off.
After coming round from her operation, Lauren posted a photo of herself in her hospital bed alongside her mum with her bandage removed.
The reality TV personality said she was was resting in hospital and undergoing physiotherapy to 'get her strength back'.
Lauren was first admitted to hospital for surgery on April 14. While the cause is still unknown, Lauren said she had nearly died as a result of her illness.
"Nearly dying makes you appreciate every moment. So enjoy the sunshine and know that I love you. Light, love and peace," she told fans.
Lauren's mum Katy, who has been keeping fans updated, said medical staff had been stumped by Lauren's illness.
On behalf of Lauren she posted: "Please help. Lauren has had a number of blackouts after which the right side of her face drops.
"This is incredibly scary for Lauren and for us. She also has a consistent headache. Drs haven't been able to explain what is causing these."
Lauren found fame as a child antiques expert called James, who appeared on the Antiques Roadshow and Wogan, before undergoing gender reassignment surgery in 2001.
After a gap from the spotlight she re-emerged as Lauren to star on Channel 5 series Trust Me – I’m A Beauty Therapist and then, in 2013, starred on Celebrity Big Brother on the same channel. She finished third in the competition, with Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby winning the series.
