Lauren Pope will attend Coachella

Lauren Pope will attend this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has only just arrived back home from Dubai but, although she enjoys working, she’s already thinking about her next holiday and can’t wait to let loose at the music extravaganza, held in Indio, California, in April.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at activist Philip Christopher Baldwin’s LGBT history month dinner, held at Smith & Wollensky in London, on Wednesday (22.02.17), she said: "Dubai was really fun. I had such a good time. I’m going to Coachella in April. I’m not DJing though, I’m just going to have fun with some of my friends. It’ll be good."
However, for now, the 34-year-old beauty is focusing on her business empire Hair Rehab London and has admitted she’s currently on the hunt for a new ambassador.
Last year the blonde star enlisted the help of ‘Love Island’ favourite Olivia Buckland to help spread the word about her then-new collection but has admitted she’s "always" on the lookout for more celebrities to temporarily join her team to be the face of her brand.
Lauren has spent the past seven years trying to build her extension brand Hair Rehab London up and is so pleased with how well it’s excelled over the years, but thinks the next logical step is to recruit a big name across the pond to help catapult it further.
She said: "The company has been building up in America and Australia and I think I’d like to explore taking it over to America more. I would definitely get a US celebrity on board. I won’t name names yet but it’ll be someone who is a social influence."
And it’s not just her online store that’s proving popular as highly-skilled stylists have been reaching out to the businesswoman’s professional academy to help them learn how to apply her bonded extensions correctly to eliminate any lock damage.
She said: "We’ve got clip-ins but we’ve also got a salon professional range for the bonding. As long as they’re applied properly then they won’t damage your hair. We’ve set up an academy now so we teach people how to apply them properly."
