Lauren Pope thinks the 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemates are "stupid" to allow Gemma Collins to treat them like staff.

The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star doesn't think there's anything wrong with the bubbly blonde's controversial behaviour in the infamous house as she's always been the type to boss people around and try and pose as an authority.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "She's just acting the way I remember her which is treating everyone like they're her staff. If people are stupid enough to go along with it then that's their own fault, you can't blame her."

The brunette beauty believes she used to clash with Gemma on the show because she didn't stand for her nonsense.

She said: "That's why we didn't get on because I wouldn't put up with it. But now I'm not in 'TOWIE', if I saw her I would say hi and I actually enjoy watching her I do find her entertaining and funny, so there's no major grudge being held there."

Meanwhile, for now, Lauren is busy focusing on her extension brand Hair Rehab London and has been working with sharing economy service Vrumi, which allows people to rent their homes as work spaces during the day.

Lauren uses the service to find spaces for business meetings, photo shoots and Hair Rehab London academy days - and has been taking part in a campaign called Take A Leap to inspire people to pursue their passions.
