Lauren’s double delight

The rising Americana idol scooped a prestigious award and revealed she was expecting a little brother or sister for baby son Noah.

Her sparkling start to the year saw her named the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award at the Americana Music Association UK Awards.

And the celebratory mood was boosted with the news that Rotherham-born Lauren and husband/co-songwriter Tom Dibb are expecting their second child.

Lauren said she was “truly honoured” by the award win — and overjoyed by her baby news, adding: “I’m getting ready for being a mummy round two.

“I feel so grateful to get to do this again.”
