Lucy Mecklenburgh is pregnant with her first child.
The 28-year-old TV star has revealed via social media that she’s expecting her first child with Ryan Thomas, posting a snap of her growing baby bump and some baby clothes on Instagram.
She wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Best birthday present I’ve ever had. love you @ryanthomas84. (sic)"
Lucy and Ryan’s happy news arrives shortly after the soap star proposed to the brunette beauty, who first found fame on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’.
And Ryan recently revealed that Lucy "threw up" everywhere after accepting his proposal.
He said: "For some reason we thought it would be a great idea to go to a nightclub. We got there and immediately regretted it so walked back out again and went to a beach bar. And then she threw up!"
Lucy added: "I don’t know if it was the excitement of the champagne but I threw up as soon as we got to the bar!
"Poor Ryan had to hold my hair back. I’d only had a couple of drinks so I think it was because I was feeling so overwhelmed!"
Ryan also revealed that his wife-to-be kept him "waiting for ages" because she was in "total shock" with the proposal.
He recalled: "She kept me waiting for ages before she said yes! I kept having to repeat the question as she wasn’t answering me.
"She was just sat there with her hands over her mouth squealing, ‘Oh my God. You’re kidding me? Oh my God.’"
