The wannabe star was sentenced after falsely claiming more than £21,000 in government money from 2013 to 2016.
Lauren, 28, wept in court as judge David Rennie heard how she used the money to fund her VIP lifestyle.
Over the course of the three years, Lauryn enjoyed a luxury skiing holiday as well as a no expense spared trip to Las Vegas with flights costing £3,500.
Despite paying the money back, Rennie explained that she was not above the law and couldn’t simply “buy herself out of trouble” and slapped her with a seven-month jail sentence suspended for two years, and ordered her to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
Breaking her silence after her court appearance, Lauryn said the “mistake” occurred after she was forced to take time off work after tumours were found in her kidney and her ischial tuberosity in 2013.
Lauryn said: “They sent me a load of forms which were so confusing. No one talks you through it or tells you if you have completed everything properly, so I was ticking boxes which I thought were right.”
Recalling how she was ordered to pay back the £21,000, Lauryn said: “It was the most stressful time of my life.
“I gave them [The Department of Work and Pensions] every bit of information I could to help work out what I was entitled to and I’ve paid back every single penny that I was overpaid.”
Begging for forgiveness, she added to The Sun: “I am an honest person and I seriously had no idea I was over-claiming.
“It’s been stressful and horrible to be labelled a benefit cheat.”
Since her sentencing, Lauryn and her sisters have locked down their social media accounts.
While their Twitter pages are all set to private at the time of publication, Lauryn’s public Instagram has had its comments section deactivated.
