She’s one of the 20 ladies out to win the heart of Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden in Nine’s new reality show The Golden Bachelor Australia.
And busty blonde Lauren, 60, who is a Dressage Team Manager from Queensland, knows how to make an impression.
At one point in the new trailer for the dating show, Lauren can be seen riding a horse in a very revealing crochet bikini.
‘I will do anything to get his attention,’ Lauren says about her quest to romance ‘Silver Fox’ Barry.
Another highlight in the preview shows Lauren in her first meet-up with the Golden Bachelor – arriving on a white horse, which leaves Barry momentarily speechless.
‘Oh my,’ the handsome widower finally says, while Lauren, still on horseback, replies: ‘Hello, handsome.’

Elsewhere in the trailer, the father-of-three tells viewers that the love of his life passed away 14 years ago.
‘Deep down no one can replace her, but I think I’m ready to find my next love story,’ he says.
The emotional first-look introduces Bear alongside 20 glamorous women from across the country, all vying for his attention.
‘I felt butterflies,’ one contestant gushes. Another jokes nervously: ‘Hopefully it’s not the menopause.’
The promo teases a colourful group of women determined to catch Bear’s eye – including one who calls herself a ‘warrior princess’ and another who teaches him to ‘shake the bum’.
Sam Armytage will host the debut season, which was filmed earlier this year in Sydney.
Bear was spotted shooting scenes in March, piloting a retro Italian speedboat across Sydney Harbour before meeting the women who would compete for his heart.
Among the contestants is TV and radio personality Bianca Dye, 51, best known for her long-running radio career. She currently co-hosts a breakfast show on Queensland’s Sea FM 90.9.

Another hopeful is believed to be Queenslander Lauren George, who was seen arriving on set in hair rollers and full glam makeup.
Friends of Bear say he’s finally ready to take a leap into romance after years of encouragement from his inner circle.
‘Bear is always complaining that his boys are saying he’s bringing around the wrong kind of girls that are just too young and hot for him,’ a friend told Daily Mail Australia.
‘We were always saying he needed to be put on a show like MAFS, so seeing him up for the Bachelor role is no surprise.’
Producers promise a more mature, heartfelt take on the long-running dating franchise, with Bear bringing a lifetime of love and loss to the screen.
‘He’s not your usual reality TV type,’ an insider said.
‘He’s charming, intelligent and has really lived a full life. He’s been through love, loss and now he’s ready to open his heart again. Women are going to adore him.’
The Golden Bachelor has been a smash hit in the US, and fans have been clamouring for an Australian edition since its premiere.
Golden Bachelor Australia will air soon on Channel Nine and 9Now.
