But Lauryn said she was “taken back” by the probing questions into her personal life including her ex Kyle Walker and their recent court case.

Shortly after the interview, viewers raced to social media to hit out at the hosts for looking “unimpressed” and being borderline “insulting”.

Lauryn shared a clip of her on the daytime show which prompted her fans to comment supportive messages.

This person wrote: “They seemed really frosty with you and the interview came across really awkward, however, you did really well given the questions asked.

“You seemed shocked by Kyle’s statement at the end but again kept your composure. Hope you and the babies are doing well.”

In response, Lauryn wrote: “I was taken back it as you can probably tell.

“Didn’t really think it was necessary and didn’t understand the purpose of it.

“Also, the ‘respect my privacy’ when he’s the one who requested it was all made public.

“Made no sense to me but again it is what it is. I wasn’t on there to talk about him.

“I was there to talk about me and my children and Celebs Go Dating.”

Replying to another follower who asked if she was treated fairly, Lauryn said: “I was on there to talk about Celebs Go Dating, but didn’t really end up being about that.

“Is what it is.”

During the tell-all interview, Lauryn said she has no “regrets” and said: “I can’t say I have any regrets because my children are my world.”

The model told the hosts that she is not “listening to outside noise” after being vilified by trolls.

“It’s been quite difficult, I’d say emotionally and the heaviness of it has been really difficult to handle,” Lauryn shared.

Lauryn explained she wasn’t sure whether she wanted to sign up for Celebs Go Dating – with people telling that she wasn’t over ex Kyle.

“I think I just wanted to get back out there and heal from everything and see the process,” she said.

Ben wanted to know how Lauryn is protecting her kids from the spotlight, despite drawing more attention to her family with her upcoming Celebs Go Dating stint.

Lauryn defended her decision for doing the show.

She said: “I think I’ve always been, ever since I was 23, I’ve been in the public eye but my kids faces are private on Instagram.

“We live a private life in terms of people don’t know what we get up to but in terms of the spotlight, yes of course, everything’s been thrown into the spotlight.”

The mum-of-two explained that she no longer has a relationship with Kyle and said “everything is dealt through the lawyers”.

She continued: “It’s really really difficult as Kairo formed that bond with his dad and he asks a lot about him.

“It’s just trying to navigate that as best as you can, because everyone’s situation is different and everyone has unique circumstances.

“But as long as a I put him first, I feel as though my conscious is clear.”

The influencer explained that she had hoped that things could have been dealt with in “private” but said it “in the future I hope we can be amicable for our two children”.

BOMBSHELL POST

It comes after Lauryn sent a bombshell message to Annie on Boxing Day revealing Kyle fathered her second child.

Annie, who was pregnant with Rezon at the time, swiftly kicked the £150,000-a-week defender out of their family home.

She had previously welcomed him back after it was exposed he was dad to Lauryn’s son Kario.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun soon after his second love child was revealed, Kyle publicly apologised to his estranged wife.

He spoke of his desire to save the marriage and described Annie as his “soulmate”.

She was later at the Etihad Stadium to support him as City won the title for a record fourth time in a row.

And she attended all but one of England’s matches at the Euros in Germany.

But Lauryn also travelled to one of them with their son, Kairo, four.

This comes as Lauryn claimed her ex lover Kyle wanted to bed her on a date in a London hotel room — days before he said publicly he regretted their “mistake” of a relationship.

The pair were embroiled in a bitter court battle in July, which saw the Celebrities Go Dating star slammed by a judge.

It was even revealed the ex-mistress had been using the footballer as an “open-ended cheque book” after giving birth to JKairo.

Bombshell documents showed how she demanded eye-watering costs, which included £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex, a £22,000 furnishing fund, £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE, to be replaced every three years, and a £30,000 car allowance for a nanny.

But, Lauryn has since claimed the ­millionaire footballer told her he had never “for a ­second” been sorry they had got together and wanted to “have my cake and eat it”.

The influencer added that the footballer who is married with four children, “wanted a secret double life playing happy families” with their two kids.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn said he told her: “We can keep this between you and me.”

Meanwhile Lauryn’s own sister slammed the mum-of-two and vowed she couldn’t forgive her.

In another exclusive interview with The Sun, glamour model Chloe told how the feud saw her disinvite Lauryn from her dream wedding, claiming she had been “kept in the dark”.
