      The role will see Lauren coaching Kathleen-Angel’s (played Kiara Mellor) football team, with two of the soap characters, Charlie Osborne (played by Charlie Behan) and Ella Cunningham (played by Erin Palmer), starstruck to have her teaching them.
      Discussing her part on the popular soap, Lauren said: “I love Hollyoaks and never miss it so when they posted the scene about us on their Instagram I then shared it on my story.
      “Then my agent called and said that I had been invited to come and film a scene. I can’t tell you what I replied but I shouted it down the phone! It was like a dream. I had two dreams in life and they’ve both happened in the last few weeks.”

      Lauren described her day of filming as “surreal” and said she couldn’t believe she was appearing on it.
      She added: “And people want my picture when I was really nervous but everyone was lovely. I’d love to come back again. I’d like to play a serial killer.”
      The football star, whose favourite character is Mercedes McQueen, appeared after Hollyoaks recorded an additional scene to mark England’s win at the Euros, and it features Juliet and Nadira watching a replay of the epic match.

      Lauren also discussed her post-Euros life and ambitions, adding: “One of our many goals as the Lionesses over the Euros was to inspire as many girls and boys as possible to be involved in football and it’s important we keep doing that so if you’re playing football then keep doing it or give it a go if you have never tried.
      “I had many people in the past tell me that I couldn’t do something but its important that you believe in yourself, you don’t listen to anyone. I think this summer has proved that girls can play football too.”
      Lauren will appear in Wednesday 10 th August E4 episode at 7pm, and Thursday 11 th August C4 episode 6:30pm

      But she walked out of their £3million Cheshire mansion in October — and now Chris, 35, has been spotted spending evenings with the soap star after they started seeing each other around a month ago.
      Mum-of-one Jennifer, 37, who plays Mercedes McQueen in the Channel 4 show, split with her husband, Geordie Shore’s Greg Lake, this summer.
      Chris, who is believed to be in Jen’s support bubble, has been spotted visiting her home in Altrincham, Gtr Manchester, where the pair spent three evenings last week.
      A source said: “They’re really smitten with each other.

      “They’ve known each other for a while but only very recently started dating.
      “The relationship is in its very early stages and things are going well. Who knows where things could go?”

      It is believed Jen has known Chris since becoming pals with Danielle this year.
      After the split in October, Chris is thought to have paid six months rent up front for Danielle to have a three-bed apartment a mile away from his eight-bed home in Bowdon, Cheshire, and has given her an allowance of £500 per month.

      A close friend told The Sun: “Danielle is absolutely devastated.
      “Lockdown really highlighted that the relationship wasn’t working.
      “She was mates with Jen, but it has put a strain on their friendship.
      “Danielle was with Chris for so long but just wants things to move forward. They still share custody of their kids.”
