A YOUNG mum has revealed the terrifying abuse she endured for five years at the hands of her TikTok influencer girlfriend after she secretly filmed her during a brutal attack.
Lauren Javens, 22, believed she was filming her own death as she captured Hollie Hanson spitting vile death threats as she strangled her.
But the act of bravery resulted in the influencer being caged for the years of torment she’d inflicted – including setting Lauren on fire and smashing vodka bottles over her head.
Hanson, a social media star who has racked up hundreds of thousands of views, was jailed last month after admitting to controlling and coercive behaviour, threats to kill and assault by beating.
Speaking about her horrific ordeal for the first time, Lauren told The Sun: “I want other people to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“For five years Hollie convinced me that she was the only person that will ever love me in this world. But really that was manipulation.
“She was just abusing me all along. The person I loved was my abuser.
“If by speaking out I can help just one more person, then it is worth it.”
Hanson, 26, subjected Lauren to a brutal campaign of physical and emotional torment which began shortly after the pair first met in 2019.
Lauren was just 17 when 20-year-old Hollie banned her from using her phone, monitored her use of social media and stopped her from seeing friends and family.
Recounting her ordeal, Lauren said: “We got together straight away, as soon as we met.
“I’d just turned 17, and she was my first love. I’d always wanted to be with her – she was quite well-known to people I knew, so I was head over heels when we got together.

“I just thought she couldn’t do anything wrong. Then she started changing when we moved in together.
“When she’d had a drink, she’d argue with me over irrelevant things. I never argued back because I thought it was just the drink.”
Hollie’s need for control quickly became apparent – Lauren was told that the couple would share just one phone.
She was told she couldn’t have her own social media profile and was ordered to hand over all her passwords.
She destroyed every connection I had – I was pregnant, alone, and completely dependent on her.

Lauren said: “This was three months into the relationship. I thought that’s what I needed to do to reassure her.
“Looking back, they were the first steps to controlling every part of my life.
“But I was so young and so in love with her at this point I couldn’t see it.”
Lauren described how Hollie quickly isolated her from family and friends, making her block their numbers and cutting her off completely.
When Hanson was jailed for driving offences in 2020, Lauren fell pregnant in a short-lived relationship.
The pair reconnected upon her release from jail with Hollie soon breaking her promise of a fresh start for the couple.
Lauren said: “She didn’t like that I had a child with someone else. The thought of my baby having a dad made her sick.
“She destroyed every connection I had – I was pregnant, alone, and completely dependent on her.
“She spent my pregnancy telling me I shouldn’t have the baby.
“She was always jealous and even when I was giving birth she was whispering in my ear ‘if this kid looks like his dad I’m leaving you’.
One of the most shocking incidents came shortly after Lauren’s son Enzo was born in 2021.
She said: “When he was two weeks old, she burnt everything he owned.
“She threw it all in a fire bin in the garden – everything was gone. Every single thing he owned.”
The physical abuse sustained by Lauren saw her punched, beaten and even wounded.
In January 2020, Hanson assaulted Lauren with a vodka bottle, knocking her unconscious before slashing at her leg.
Too scared to report the incident, Lauren told medics at hospital that she had accidentally cut herself on a shard of glass.
Lauren said: “She knocked me clean out.
“When I came to, she was holding me in her arms, but I had four gashes on my legs from where she’d attacked me while I was unconscious.
“I thought if I told the doctors what really happened then I’d have nowhere to live – I relied on her for everything.”
In another incident, Hanson poured a jerry can of fuel on Lauren before setting it alight with a cigarette, causing her thigh-high boots to catch fire.
Lauren recalled: “She threw the last bit of her cigarette, and it hit the fuel and there were just flames up my legs.
“I managed to put them out but the boots literally melted to my legs.
“Luckily I had jeans on underneath and not just bare skin, because I’d definitely have scarring after that.”
The abuse wasn’t limited to physical violence.
Hollie destroyed Lauren’s belongings in fits of rage, cutting up her clothes and smashing her makeup.
On another occassion, Hanson hurled an air fryer across the kitchen because the Mexican chicken dish Lauren was cooking for dinner was not what she wanted to eat.
She threw the last bit of her cigarette, and it hit the fuel and there were just flames up my legs.

“Then she punched me in the face – one blow. I tell you, I had the two biggest black eyes you’ve ever seen in your life,” said Lauren.
“She even refused to let me into the flat sometimes. I’d have to walk the streets until she let me back in.”
Lauren revealed the psychological toll the relationship took on her. “She made me believe I needed her for everything – money, a roof, everything.
“She convinced me I was the problem for so long. I couldn’t cope without her, and she loved that. She knew I’d always go back.”
The breaking point came in September last year during a terrifying incident in which Hollie strangled Lauren while demanding to know who she had been texting.
By this point, Lauren was actively looking to leave the relationship.
She said: “I completely fell out of love with her. She was just horrible, she made me depressed, and I knew that she was the problem at this point.
“She’d convinced me I was the problem for so long. I got to a point where I knew that she was the problem.
“I gained contact with my family again, and she hated that, but I refused to give that up.
“I didn’t rely on her for anything anymore.”
Fearing for her life as Hollie charged towards her, Lauren reached for her phone and used muscle memory to unlock the device and record the attack.
She said: “She had her hands around my throat, only letting me breathe every few seconds.
“She said, ‘If you don’t tell me, I’m going to kill you. I’d rather kill you than let you be with anyone else.’ I genuinely thought I was going to die.
“I thought if I die now, someone has to know what happened. I genuinely thought I was filming my own death.
“I could see something had switched in her eyes this time compared to every other attack that she’d ever done.
“I just knew that this time was different,” she added.
Hollie deleted the video from Lauren’s phone, but Lauren had already sent it to her aunt, who kept it as evidence.
The Sun has seen the harrowing footage but has chosen not to show it.
After enduring five years of abuse, Lauren finally escaped.
Hollie was later on the run for 18 days, posting videos on TikTok while hiding out at strangers’ houses before posting on the platform that she would hand herself in.
Now in a healthy relationship with her roofer partner James Javens, 29, Lauren is rebuilding her life and revealed she is pregnant with her second child.
She said: “I’m better now but it still haunts me every day. Five years of my life have just gone and I’ll never get that time back.
“I feel like I was kept captive for five years. “If I were to see someone I knew in the street or in a supermarket and even looked in their direction, she would flip.
“She’d scream in front of them. Honestly, it was just embarrassing. But I just put my head down and just walked on.
“Hollie would promise to change, and I believed her every single time because I wanted her to love me.
“Looking back now, I wasn’t loved, it was just manipulation.
“I couldn’t physically cope without her at all, but she loved that, so she knew that I’d go back to her in a heartbeat.
“My relationship with James is so healthy. He treats me like a princess and I know he will never hurt me.
“We’ve got our own home together so I’ve got stability which is something I’ve never had.”
Hanson was jailed for four years at Leeds Crown Court after admitting controlling and coercive behaviour, wounding without intent, intentional strangulation, threats to kill and assault by beating.
Judge Mushtaq Khokhar told Hanson: “You banned her from social media. You controlled her financially. You controlled her contact with her own child.
“You were so possessive and obsessed with her, and controlling, that on one occasion you burned her child’s clothing.
“On another occasion, you had poured a jerry can of fuel over her body and then you had thrown the cigarette to become alight.
“Mercifully, no injury was sustained from it but it could have been worse than it was.”
Describing Hanson as a “dangerous offender”, Judge Khokhar said: “It was a horrendous experience to undergo at the hands of someone you think you love.”
He added: “In my judgment, there’s nothing worse than controlling someone’s emotions, their movements and also preventing someone from associating with people that person wants to associate with.
“This behaviour consisted of controlling who she had contact with, who she could meet and who she could not meet. She had to report to you as to where she was at any given time. She could not use her phone at times without your permission.”
The court heard that Hanson has applied for a gender recognition certificate while on remand at HMP New Hall women’s prison.
She now wants to be known as Ryder Hanson with the pronouns ‘he/him’ and ‘they/them’.
Hanson was handed a lifetime restraining order to keep away from Lauren.
LOVE Island star Abi Moores has sparked romance rumours with newly-single Married At First Sight star Nathan Campbell.
The pair enjoyed a ‘date night’ on Sunday evening – despite it being reported that Abi was in advanced talks to be an All Stars bombshell.
Abi, 26, and Nathan, 24, looked comfortable in each other’s presence as they dined out at a Japanese restaurant.
The blonde star shared a Instagram video of them looking cosy while at the eatery.
She was seen pouting at the camera, while he flashed a big smile.
Nathan also shared the video on his Instagram story and wrote: “Lovely to see you,” with a heart and blushing face emoji.
The Sun revealed that Abi was in in advanced talks with ITV to jet out to South Africa as an All Stars bombshell.
The reality TV star is understood to have been involved in ongoing conversations with bosses who are keen to get her into the villa as the show reaches its halfway point.
A return to the villa could also prove dramatic with the blonde bombshell having a secret connection to one of the programme’s current All Stars that would send shockwaves throughout the Cape Town abode.
A source told The Sun: “Love Island bosses have been in talks with Abi about her signing up for the show.
“Nothing has been sealed just yet but conversations are ongoing as they think she’d be perfect to shake-up the villa at the halfway point.
“She was one of the stand-out stars from her series thanks to her messy love triangle drama and she’s guaranteed entertainment.
“Abi even has a hidden connection to one of the show’s current All Stars which could rock one steady couple if she were to head into the villa and secrets spilled out.”
The Sun understands Abi enjoyed a secret date with one of the current Islanders just weeks before they flew out to take part in the programme.
Abi was involved in a messy love triangle during her first stint on the programme after forming a connection with Mitchell Taylor.
It was here that the Sheffield lad gained the nickname Messy Mitch after he began forming a connection with fellow show beauty Ella Barnes on the side.
Meanwhile, MAFS star Nathan recently told The Sun why he and Lacey Martin split.
Shortly after their break-up was revealed, Lacey spoke to The Sun and told us that she feared Nathan was “faking” the romance the whole time, just for the cameras.
However, now Nathan has broken his silence on the break-up and revealed that he is in fact the one who has been left “brokenhearted”.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “Things weren’t the same off the show, it was very different.
“I’d always have to go there, she wouldn’t come to see me – those kind of arguments. I’m not too sure, things were quite different after the show.
“When you’re together, you’re 100 per cent in the same place.
“But after the experiment there was a big distance there.”
Asked who’s idea it was to break-up, Nathan said: “She decided, she said let’s just be friends.”
Speaking about how he was feeling post break-up, Nathan said: “I’m scared to date again, I want to but my hearts still broken.
“I definitely do want to date again but there’s no one yet.”
Lacey also spoke to The Sun last night and she told us: “I left him [Nathan] in 2024, to me this is a new slate. I am single.
“He’s not worth it. I’m just doing my thing, I believe in the universe, if I’m meant to meet someone then I will.”
A MUM has hit back after being judged for still sharing a room with her five-year-old son.
Levi explained that she’s always had her little boy in her room – despite the fact they do have space for him to have his own in their council house, as they could transform their living room.
And while she knows that some people will have something to say about their sleeping arrangement, Levi insisted she’s still thoroughly enjoying them sharing a room.
“So a lot of people think it’s weird that I won’t give my 5 year old his own room and we actually share a bedroom,” Levi began her TikTok video.
“Let’s talk about it.”
Insisting it’s “not normalised enough”, Levi pointed out that there are a lot of families in similar situations.
And, instead of having to sacrifice their living room by turning it into her son’s bedroom, Levi came up with a “space saving way” for both of them to share the bedroom.
She added that she’s “not being selfish”, but pointed out her little boy “doesn’t want to sleep alone”.
“So why would I then deprive him of having a living space by sleeping in there?” she asked.
Levi added that growing up in a two-bedroom house, and sharing a room with her brother when they were little, made her realise she actually prefers not having her own room.
“Those were probably some of the favourite times of my life,” she smiled.
That’s not to say her son will always share a room with her though, as she’s already thinking about when he will need his own room.
“A lot of people have said 6, some people have said 10. I’m not too sure,” she mused.
But she added she’s going to wait for the “right timing” before trying to move his son.
“What age do you think a child should stop sharing with a parent?” she wrote in the caption.
“They are only small once!”
In the accompanying TikTok video, Levi showed herself setting up a little “den” underneath her son’s midsleeper bed for him to enjoy.
The comments section was quickly filled with perople having their say on the situation, with one writing: “He’ll grow up to be a calm child.
LEANNE Hall, Digital Writer at Fabulous, has discussed what it was like growing up in a council house, and why those living in such properties are often judged...
When I was a child I grew up in a council house, and was blissfully unaware of the discrimination that came with that, until I became an adult.
My younger years were spent running up and down the stairs of my flat, meeting with other friends who lived there and making the most of the communal garden.
But now, it seems no matter your circumstance, everyone has something to say about why you shouldn’t be there.
Living just outside of London like I did, rent prices are still high, and as my mum was at home raising three kids at the time, it wasn’t easy to find a job that fit around that.
People in council houses are often labelled as ‘scroungers’ or ‘lazy’ but it’s nothing of the sort.
Most families in council homes experience overcrowding, and let’s not even mention the horrendous amount of damp and mould that comes from living in old social housing that hasn’t had work done to them in 50 or so years.
It’s not ideal for many, but it does provide a secure home without the fear your rent will shoot up every single year, which I would argue is vital to children growing up on the poverty line.
“I’ll co sleep or share my room with my daughter until she’s 7, that’s the age when they can self regulate.”
“I shared a room with my mum and sister until I was 12 and I didn’t get my own room till I was 18,” another added.
“Now I share a bed with my mum cause we’ve only got a 2 bed and it too expensive to rent.
“I also didn’t want her sleeping on the sofa and she didn’t want her kids to sleep on the sofa.”
“I love this,” Levi replied.
“This is normal for a lot of people and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.
“Who cares, everybody has a place to sleep in family home and everyone is comfortable!”
“It depends on his development, usually sometime between 6-10 would be the right period to give him his own room,” a third said.
“I agree,” Levi said.
“I feel around age 6-10 I may start to see the signs of needing privacy or just seeming that little bit older.”
But others disagreed, with one person insisting: “That is a bit weird!”
“No no no, you need to let go,” another wrote.
As a third admitted: “As someone who’s always shared a room it does affect us.
“I struggle to fall asleep on my own and have anxiety around it.
“When my partner works away I don’t sleep.”
FORMER Miss Universe Ireland Aishah Akorede has revealed how doing Dancing With The Stars could be helping her lifelong battle with sickle cell disease.
The 25-year-old previously revealed how she needed permission from her doctors to sign up for the dance show because of an undisclosed illness but finally spoke out after Sunday’s show to name the condition.
Aishah told The Irish Sun: “Opening up on national TV is not an easy thing to do.
“I didn’t expect to do it but I’m happy that sharing my story is going to help people and it has already.
“Sickle cell disease is not something I speak about and there are a few reasons why.
“Number one, I don’t want people to look at me as my illness. I want people to look at me as Aishah, who has done this, done that, who has helped these people, supported these people.
“The second reason is, I’ll be honest, I don’t have the exact same experience other people with sickle cell have.”
The Kildare woman underwent treatment in hospital for her condition as recently as last November.
And she explained: “I am lucky to have a high haemoglobin F, I’m getting a bit scientific right now, but this kind of sickle cell usually presents in people from the Middle East, but obviously I’m African, so it’s quite rare.
“There are a lot of people who have passed away that I know or who have had to get bone marrow surgery because of how serious their health disorder has become but I have been lucky all these years.”
While the former beauty queen had been worried taking part in the RTE show could worsen her condition, she added: “There’s no way in hell I was going to turn that down”.
She said she was thrilled to find out that her hectic dance schedule had her “levels being through the roof” and was impressing doctors”.
Law graduate Aishah, who was diagnosed with sickle cell disease at birth, dedicated her dance last Sunday night to her mum Kemi who she said was a pillar of support throughout her life.
She said: “She cares a lot, and makes sure I am doing okay. She has a lot of knowledge about the condition”.
Aishah and dance partner Robert Rowiński scored a total of 31 points on Sunday’s show for an African-inspired Samba.
Judge Loraine Barry told them: “When you take on the Samba you take on all the rhythms. That wasn’t enough for you, you added in your Nigerian roots.

SERIES TWO – 2018: Singer Jake Carter – the younger brother of country crooner Nathan – was just 19 when he nabbed the Glitterball in 2018 with pro dancer Karen Byrne. And the dance partnership later blossomed into love for the popular pair, who confirmed they were dating months after their big win.
SERIES THREE – 2019: Popular presenter Mairead Ronan became the first female winner, landing the Glitterball with Kilkenny dancer John Nolan in 2019. The mum-of-three said her victory was proof “you can do anything you put your mind to”.

Karen Byrne added: “The sass on that from the beginning. I think we all wanted to get up and join you. Well done!”
Dancing With The Stars continues on RTE One next Sunday with the first dance off.
However Olympian Jack Woolley, has immunity after topping the scoreboard with 38 points last Sunday.
CHELSEA are ready to stump up almost £2million in wages to give Ben Chilwell the chance of a fresh start.
The defender is on his way to Crystal Palace on loan with a medical scheduled for today.
And the Blues have agreed to pay half the player’s £190k a week wages until the contract expires on June 30.
That means Palace and his parent club will split his £95k a week pay.
Chilwell, 28, was told last summer that he has no future at Chelsea under incoming boss Enzo Maresca.
He has played only 45 minutes of football since – against League Two Barrow in the Carabao Cup back in September.
Palace want a left-sided player and Chilwell can play either full back or as a centre half.
Chelsea loaned centre half Trevoh Chalobah to Palace during last summer but recalled him two weeks ago to cover a defensive shortage.
Chilwell joined Chelsea from Leicester in a £45million deal in 2020.
He has since played 107 times for the Blues amid several injury lay-offs.
