Lauren Pope wants to move to London next year.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star is currently residing with Devon, South West England, while she focuses on her business Hair Rehab London, which is based down there, but she’s made it her mission for 2017 to buy a house in the capital within the next 12 months.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I always stay in a hotel when I come to London for work but I’m going to buy somewhere in London next year. That’s on my to-do list but it’s trying to find somewhere that’s not ridiculously over-priced. It’s so depressing."
And, although Christmas is a time for family and friends, the 34-year-old beauty didn’t get to spend much time with her loved ones this festive season as she was booked up to DJ around the UK.
She explained: "I’ve done a lot of DJing over Christmas. I’m DJing on NYE as well and then between Christmas and New Year, I’ll probably be coming into the office and sorting out some bits here and then catch up with my friends and family because I never get to see them."
As well as working on her hair extension brand, Lauren is hoping to explore her DJing career over the next year or so and is planning to jet across to Australia in the near future to work the decks.
She said: "I’ve never been to Australia. I’ve DJd all over the world but never been that far. I had a company approach me about doing a tour over there but the only problem is you have to spend three or four weeks over there and it’s such a long time. When things have quietened down a bit, I will think about it."
