Lauryn has been involved in an ongoing feud with footballer Kyle, who she shares two children with, since their 2019 feud was brought to light.
The mum-of-two has joined the Celebs Go Dating agency alongside Helen Flanagan, Tristan Phipps, Chris Taylor, Stephen Lustig-Webb, Jamelia and Ella Morgan in a bid to find love again.
However during her time on the show, Lauryn has appeared to struggle being back on the dating scene, despite getting help from experts Anna Williamson, Paul Carrick Brunson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Lauryn said: “I am at a
point where I took a step back and had a look at the situation and thought: ‘Wow, my confidence has really been knocked here.’
“And I am actually not as comfortable in these environments as I thought I would be.
“I used to be a very confident and outspoken loud person, but I have said to the agents: ‘I have felt like my light has dimmed with everything I have been through in my private life.’
“When you feel like someone is constantly bringing you down it makes you feel not great about yourself…then it is hard to pull yourself back up.
“In that environment I became quite emotional, for me… I am finding some of the process hard and quite tough.
“I am having to heal in ways that I would do in time… in a couple of years’ time.
“The healing process is being brought forward (this process) is accelerating it.
“It is quite an emotional journey for me.
“I am hoping it helps me come out of the other side…”
Lauryn and Kyle have plenty of history.
The reality star gave birth to their son Kairo in April 2020 after they got together when Kyle was on a break from his now wife Annie Kilner.

Lauryn’s mum also made a savage dig at the footie legend on the show this week.
Chatting about her recent date with her mother, she said: “I think I’ve just been knocked and stuff, I was a lot quieter in the beginning than I am now.”
Her mum replied: “It’d be nice for you to go out with a normal, nice chap for a change. Oh. That would be really lovely, actually
It comes after earlier this week Lauryn revealed in full the text she sent Kyle’s wife Annie in December last year, informing her Kyle was also the father of her second child.
