Lucy Mecklenburgh shows off huge baby bump and says she and Ryan Thomas are on standby

Lucy Mecklenburgh has shared a snap of her huge baby bump as she revealed they are on standby for their baby girl who is due any minute.

Lucy was glowing as she showed off her bump wearing a perfect-for-summer floral dress and black shades, while her partner looked cool in sunnies and shorts. The former TOWIE star and actor already have one little one Roman, two, and Ryan is also father to daughter Scarlett, 13, from his previous relationship with soap star Tina O'Brien.

The couple's second child is due in Spring, and back in February the smitten couple revealed they are expecting a daughter. At the time Lucy, 30, told Hello! magazine. "Our baby girl is due in late spring – we can't wait."

A few months ago the proud mum said that she and Ryan, 37, already had quite a lengthy list of names to chose from before the baby arrived.

She shared: "With Roman, we named him as soon as we found out we were having a boy. I remember we looked at a list and we both pointed to the same name.

"But this time, we have a list of 15 names.

"We may just have to wait to meet her. Nothing in the world beats that moment when you hold your baby for the first time."

Lucy was said to be thrilled to be welcoming a little girl into the world, as a source previously revealed she would love to have a "mini-me" as she's grown to develop a strong bond with her stepdaughter Scarlett.

Back in November, Lucy announced her pregnancy as she posted an adorable photograph alongside Roman.

She raised her T-shirt to reveal her bump, and little Roman mimicked her by pulling up his jumper too. She wrote: "Here we go again," as she shared the cute snap with her followers.

She also recently shared an adorable video of the "party" in her tummy, as she recorded a clip which showed her baby moving around. The video captured her unborn daughter kicking and wriggling around, and she shared it with her social media followers.

As the former Towie star gets closer to her due date, the mum opted to celebrate her pregnancy by sharing the intimate clip, which fans totally adored. Posting on her Instagram Stories, Lucy captioned the clip of her baby moving in her tummy: "So exhausted but this little one wants to party!"
