    Last week The Sun revealed that Premier League star Walker Walker, who is married to childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner, is the father of Lauryn’s six month old.
    He is also dad to her son Kairo, three, and he has three sons with pregnant wife Annie.
    Lauryn’s sisters, Chloe and Amelia, have cut ties with her, and she’s been uninvited to Chloe’s wedding, after The Sun revealed that Lauryn planned to destroy Walker’s marriage just weeks before falling pregnant.
    The new series of CBB kicks off soon, and a source told us: “Lauryn is desperate to talk with Celebrity Big Brother producers and land a spot in the line-up.
    READ MORE ON LAURYN
    “Lauryn feels like she is misunderstood and feels like CBB would be the perfect image rehab for her.
    “She feels like it would be a chance to show viewers the real her, and that there is more to her than all of the scandal around her paternity drama with Kyle Walker and her fallout with Annie Kilner.”
    They continued: “ITV, however, aren’t sure if she is the right fit for the direction they want to take the series in, but they know she is hugely topical and would get people tuning in and talking.
    “Right now, they are weighing it up. They haven’t closed the door on the idea.”

    Texts sent from Lauryn’s phone in July 2022 exposed Walker’s double life, and Lauryn became pregnant three months later.
    She gave birth in July last year, and revealed the truth to Annie two days after Christmas.
    She first begged Walker, 33, to tell Annie the full truth, then took it into her own hands.
    Lauryn said she didn’t want to cause harm but believed the truth needed to be known.
    She told The Sun this week: “I didn’t want them to split up or cause harm but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes.”
    Lauryn’s comments sparked were seen by her friend who then disclosed messages to The Sun that showed Lauryn had every intention of destroying Annie’s marriage.
    Lauryn had texted the pal: “Ready to finish them” — then added laughing and heart emojis.
    Another message read: “Ask him if he wants to go with me again? I’m down for baby number 2 [five laughing emojis].”
     Annie threw Walker out at Christmas and announced their separation last week.
    In the latest incredible twist Annie also revealed she is pregnant again with their fourth child.
    A source confirmed to The Sun: “Annie is six months pregnant with their fourth child. It should be a time of great joy and excitement.
    “Instead, she’s struggling greatly with the fall-out from his latest sex scandal.
    “She’s understandably fragile but doing everything to protect her children and prepare for the arrival of their fourth.

    “To his credit, Kyle is trying to put on a united front to limit the damage they have been exposed to.
    “It’s a little bit too late, but he’s trying.”

    However, he had also been offered a short-term deal at then Championship side Burton.
    Nigel Clough was keen to sign O’Hara after the ex-England under-21 international impressed on trial.
    At the time, the midfielder was a free agent after leaving Gillingham in September 2016.
    O’Hara instead opted to enter the Big Brother house, with the pair reuniting on talkSPORT on Friday.

    Recalling the incident, Clough said: “He said he was happy and he wanted to get back playing and I thought if we offer him a few hundred quid a week then Big Brother happened.”
    The former Brewers boss was offered an apology by O’Hara, though, as he gave his side of the story.
    “Oh Nige I’m sorry mate,” he replied. “I went up there [Burton] and Nige was brilliant with me to be fair because I hadn’t been playing. I was out and I was a little bit worried about my fitness.
    “He asked me to come up there and I trained really well for a few days. He was like ‘look, I really want you, I need a midfielder’ but I’d already signed a contract to go in Big Brother!

    “I said to my agent ‘Nigel wants me to sign a contract. How much are they offering?’ He said, ‘a couple of grand a week’.
    “It was £300,000 to go on Big Brother. I said sorry Nige, I’m off. I do apologise though Nige, I do regret that one.”
    Asked how long he spent on the show and why he did not sign for Burton afterwards, O’Hara added: “Three weeks and big Nige didn’t talk to me when I got out!”
    The 37-year-old lasted 27 days before becoming the ninth housemate to be evicted.
    Coleen Nolan would win the series – with Jedward finishing runners-up.
    After the show, he joined non-league Billericay, spending two years with the club before retiring in 2019 aged 32.

    When in the house, she was told about Richardson’s £5.5million transfer from Man Utd to Sunderland in 2007.
    The eight-time capped England star had played 81 times for United and Charley couldn’t believe he left the club for a side she had never heard of after being deemed surplus to requirements.
    She found out the news and said: “I don’t get it what’s going on?
    “Who the f*** are Sunderland? Are Sunderland good?

    “I can’t see him going there. I don’t think his dad would’ve allowed that unless they got loads of money for it.”

    “Sir Alex Ferguson personally told him when Ryan Giggs retires you’re going to be the ones coming up.”
    Richardson has lifted the lid on his move and Charley’s outburst, exclusively telling Ladbrokes’ Fanzone: “She doesn’t really know football, it was as simple as that.

    “It was funny to see it though, and it was all tongue-in-cheek, really.
    “It could have been any club apart from the top ones, and she’d have said the same thing, I’m sure. 
    “I think it had already been decided that I was leaving the club so I didn’t experience anything negative from Man Utd about Charley being on the show.
    “And then, obviously, when I got to Sunderland, no one was really saying anything about it. 
    “I think that was the right time to leave Man Utd.
    “I remember Sir Alex saying: ‘You don’t have to leave, but we’ve had a couple of offers.’
    “He didn’t say I had to leave, but I knew it was probably better for me to go, to be honest. 
    “I have a great relationship with Sir Alex and always did throughout my time with the club.
    “Do I think he was watching Big Brother that summer? No, I don’t think so whatsoever.
    “Big Brother had nothing to do with me leaving Manchester United. It was strictly football reasons only.”

    I’m a former Premier League star burned by brutal reality TV… I beg all footballers to avoid falling into dark spiral

    JERMAINE PENNANT has advised current Premier League players to avoid the “dangers” of reality TV and warned “nothing good can come of it”.Pennant became the most expensive youth player in the history of football when Arsenal paid Notts County £2million to secure him when he was just 15.
    Pennant has urged footballers to avoid following his lead by appearing on reality TVCredit: Getty – Contributor
    He would go on to play for the likes of Liverpool and Stoke City before ending his career at Billericay Town in 2018.
    After retiring, the former winger dipped his toe into the world of reality TV – appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 and Celebs Go Dating in 2019.
    While on Celebrity Big Brother, Pennant appeared to flirt extensively with fellow contestant Chloe Ayling – despite being married to Alice Goodwin at the time.
    He failed to disclose to Ayling that he was a married man.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    He claimed the way the show was edited almost destroyed his marriage.
    He told The Sun in 2019: “I had no idea what was going on when I was in Celebrity Big Brother.
    “In there I know how it is, but the way they edit it, it looks 100 per cent worse. They are showing five minutes of a 24 hour day. There were times when I never had a conversation with a girl.”
    Despite undergoing couples counselling as part of Celebs go Dating, Pennant and Goodwin went their separate ways in 2020 after nine years of marriage.

    And now Pennant has warned current footballers that are in a similar position to him to avoid the additional spotlight reality TV can bring.

    DREAM TEAM IS LIVE – JOIN NOW TO BATTLE FOR THE £50k TOP PRIZE
    He was asked by Lord Ping about the dangers of reality TV for footballers at the end of their careers, with the company asking if he would advise someone like Jack Grealish not to follow his path.
    Pennant responded: “I would urge footballers to stay away from reality TV.
    “There’s nothing good to come from it. Reality TV is all about controversy, they don’t care if you look good or bad, it’s all about entertainment value and production.
    “If you’re a footballer and that’s your niche that you’ve worked your whole life for, then to go to reality TV kind of washes that out and taints it to a certain degree.
    “Then trying to move on from reality TV is very difficult. You get a few who do well after, but 90 per cent find themselves in a dark spiral just to keep relevant. 
    “I wouldn’t say it’s a life to live, nothing good can come from it.”
    Pennant is not the only former footballer to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house.
    He followed in the footsteps of former Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara, who appeared on the show in 2017.
    While in the Boreham Wood studio home, O’Hara shared smooches with Nicola McLean and Bianca Gascoigne.
    John Barnes and Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock are two other ex-pros that found themselves on the show.
    Meanwhile, Pennant recently bravely opened up about his own childhood trauma in the aftermath of Dele Alli’s emotional interview on The Overlap with Gary Neville.

    He revealed he was called “the Cornflake Kid” by cruel bullies after neglect from both his parents left him with not enough to eat at home.
    He also opened up about how his mum was rarely in the house to look after him and how his father experienced substance abuse problems throughout his childhood. More
