One of the most glorious things about Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here is watching the celebrities slowly try to figure out what their cast mates are actually famous for.
From comedian Akmal Saleh mistaking Bonnie Lythgoe for Rupert Murdoch’s fiance Jerry Hall to Prisoner‘s Val Lehman not recognising singer and actor Dean Geyer, there was one contestant who needed no introduction.
And it wasn’t Shane Warne.
Laurina Fleure finally returned to our television screens last night, but what has everybody’s favourite former Bachelor contestant been up to since we last saw her fabulous face grace our screens in 2014?
She was turned down from The Bachelorette for being ‘too ambitious’.
Laurina was widely touted to be Australia’s first Bachelorette last year but later told news.com.au that production company Shine decided Laurina wasn’t right for the role due to her business aspirations.
“They wanted me to bullshit them and say, ‘no, no, my single, only priority in life is finding love’, and I couldn’t tell them what they wanted to hear,” the Pialia Boutique owner said of the audition experience.
She’s found love.
Laurina may not have had her pick of 14 men on The Bachelorette, but that hasn’t stopped her from finding love, meeting her match in businessman Lewis Romano, who she has been dating since last October.
And it seems her new romance has been lavish enough to make The Bachelor dates look like a walk in the park, with Laurina and Lewis falling in love after running off to Rome together.
She’s had an operation to correct a twisted intestine.
Late last year, Fleure revealed an impressive scar across her stomach on Instagram following an operation she had to correct a twisted intestine.
talking to the Daily Mail, Fleure described the operation, which left her bedridden for six weeks, as more painful than a gunshot wound while.

No dirty street pies in the jungle!
I was more than a tiny bit excited when I saw Laurina on the show. I think she's fantastic. I'm also hoping that Fev manages to not disgrace himself, so far so good.
