Speaking to B*Witched star Edele Lynch, Lauren admitted she found Ricci's confession 'cute'.

Confessing she enjoys the Geordie Shore star's company, Lauren said: "It's nice when someone likes you."

Edele then joked, "He might have shouted it from the rooftops last night," to which Lauren replied, "It's quite cute though."

While Lauren was discussing Ricci with Edele, he was getting advice from Kelly Brook's fiancé David McIntosh.

Ricci told him: "I really like her and it's because I've got to know her in here."

But David warned Ricci that he was risking coming on too strong, which might push Lauren away.

He advised: "Don't keep going 'I really like her'."

The night before, Ricci confessed to Lauren: "All I'm saying is I like you. I am picky as f**k. You've got no idea. I really am. When you know, you know.

"I haven't been out with anyone for a very long time. It's about picking the right person for everything. Being nearly 28 I want to have a family soon. I want my parents to have grandkids. We're not getting any younger."

Meanwhile, Lauren's mum Cheryl has revealed she's unhappy with her daughter's 'sugery addiction', and admitted she feels she is to blame for it.

She told a British magazine: "[Her insecurities stem from] when she went to live with her dad at four. I was very depressed after I had Lauren. I didn't get any help and I sort of rejected Lauren because of that.

"She was so pretty. I'm not against her having her nose done. But I don't like the big lips. I wish she'd stop."

Do you think Lauren and Ricci will get together?
