The 22-year-old London based model has spoken exclusively to the Daily Star to share how her job as an influencer has changed her life.

Lauren has worked in the early hours in the morning to progress with her influencing career.

She said: “You work at 2am at night if you love or early morning, it's your choice, there's a lot of flexibility in this. But you need to work to keep yourself on track.”

Alongside her Instagram profile, Lauren also boasts 1.12 million followers on YouTube and also keeps up to date with fans on streaming site Twitch.

She explained: “I wish to continue this for a long time, although I would love to try my hands at other options along with being an influencer, but not completely keep myself away from being an influencer.

“While I started my career as an influencer I was clear about the expectations I had from myself. I always try to keep my personal life and my career as an influencer separate, which is most important.”

Many people opt to try and become influencers now, having seen the success of people like Lauren.

However, the social media star revealed being popular online is not “easy.”

She said: “The only thing I will say to them is - it's not going to be easy. There will be many hurdles but it's all worth it in the end. If you love it, you enjoy doing it, then never give up.”

Despite Lauren’s gratitude towards her fans, at times she does receive some negativity.

She added: “There's always a portion of people who don't like my work. But this never bothered me much. Since this is just a small fraction of the ones who adore me as an influencer.”

And, what is the stunning model and influencer planning to do for Christmas?

Just because she is a high profile influencer, Lauren still remains humble and is planning to be around family this Christmas.

She gushed: “I love spending this day with wonderful people around me. This is the most awaited occasion for me in the whole year.”
