She was working as a waitress in a bagel bar… that much is true. But on to the real story:

Young Lauren always wanted to follow in the footsteps of her dad Callum, who was once in the boyband Envy in the 90s and even toured with Westlife and Boyzone! So, with dad as inspiration, Lauren sang Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’, and both Paloma and Will’s chairs turned. Although Paloma used vegetable metaphors in her pitch, Lauren opted for our Black Eyed Pea for a place on #TeamWill.
