Lucy Mecklenburgh welcomes baby girl with Ryan Thomas and shares first adorable picture

Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas have welcomed their second child together. The loved-up couple announced they were expecting again in November and in February they revealed they were awaiting the arrival of a baby girl.

And after a long wait for former Only Way Is Essex star Lucy who was overdue, she has safely delivered her baby girl. The proud mum, who already shares two-year-old son Roman with former Coronation Street star Ryan, shared the joyful news on Instagram.

She posted a black and white photo of their daughter wrapped in a blanket with her tiny hand. A plush bunny toy could also be seen with 'Baby Thomas' written in the ear.

Alongside the beautiful image, the 30-year-old mum-of-two simply posted a pink double heart emoji. On her Instagram Stories, Lucy shared the same sweet image, with a GIF reading: "She's here!"

And the congratulatory messages were soon flooding in. Former Love Island star Olivia Buckland, who is expecting her first child, wrote: "Congratulations Lucy." Felloe ex-TOWIE star Chloe Lewis commented: "Ohh congratulations Luc! She’s here." Samantha Faires, who recently gave birth to her third child, replied: "Aww she’s here.. congratulations."

Former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney, who is good pals with Ryan, commented with a string of heart emojis while TV star Lisa Snowdon added: "Huge congratulations @lucymeck1 & @ryanthomas84."

Ryan and Lucy welcomed their first child together, Roman Ravello Thomas, in March 2020 - just before the UK went into lockdown. The pair got engaged in summer 2019 in the Italian cliffside village of Positano on the Amalfi Coast during a romantic trip to Italy, with Roman's middle name a nod to the special time.

Last month Ryan, who also shares teen daughter Scarlett with his ex Tina O'Brien, who plays Sarah Barlow in Corrie, shared his worry about his and Lucy's impending arrival as he took part in ITV show The Games. The Jason Grimshaw actor joined several other famous faces as they competed in a series of sporting challenges after months of training.
