The reality TV has been rightly flaunting her super toned figure after loosing a seriously impressive four stone last year with a hardcore workout that has transformed her body.

Lauren’s posted several in-the-mirror selfies that show off her svelte new bod that have won the admiration of many, but have also had a few people scratching their heads. As, while there’s no denying that Lauren has put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into her new look, some people question whether those sculptured abs and defined arms really all the result of hours at the gym?

The answer is, of course they are, but tan detectives have observed that Lauren may have had a helping hand with her new figure with a ‘tan-touring’ (geddit??) technique.

The technique works similarly to contouring on the face, creating an illusion of definition.

A man who has never met Lauren, James Harknett, Sienna X Celebrity Tanning Ambassador has been studying Lauren’s Instagram pics and told OK! Online: “To me that looks like tan-touring using a spray technique. It’s fine layering on the natural contours of her body.

"Basically shading areas of the body such as the abdominals and collar bone. The darker shaded areas emphasises her figure and all the work she has done in the gym.”

So, basically, Lauren’s put in all the hard work and a touch of fake tan has make her ‘camera-ready’. Shame, we’d love a short cut to looking that good. Looks like we’ll just have to buy the DVD.
