The 28-year-old singer - who was one of the stand-out acts on the ITV talent show in 2015 - has revealed she gets a lot of DMs from men who are desperate to see her feet.

She told BANG Showbiz: "Most of the time my DMs are cool.

"I do get a few explicit pictures come through on there. I do get a bit of a fright now and then because you're not expecting an X-rated pic!

"I get a lot of foot fetish people contact me on social media, which is a bit of a weird one. I don't know where it comes from, probably a lot of guys bored at home - it's like a lot of the Twitter trolls they've got way too much time on their hands."

Lauren is currently single and she's happy to stay that way for the moment because she's fully focused on her music career.

The singer also admitted she only seems to attract "weirdos" anyway.

Lauren said: "I'm single at the moment, and I think it's better to have no distractions. I seem to have really bad luck with guys anyway, I need to get to where I need to be and I'll get to that later.

"I'm too embarrassed to go on Tinder and that. Boys always say to me that they can't believe I'm single. I just don't seem to meet the right people - I always attract the weirdos, I don't know why..."
