Lucy Mecklenburgh gives birth to baby girl with Ryan Thomas as she reveals adorable first picture

LUCY Mecklenburgh has given birth to her second baby with Ryan Thomas as she revealed their adorable first picture.

The ex Towie star and former Coronation Street actor have welcomed a baby girl into the world.

The delighted couple, who are engaged and already share two-year-old son Roman, shared the news on Instagram.

Posting a black and white photo of their daughter's tiny hand, Lucy, 30, simply wrote: "💕".

Fans reacted to their snap with sweet messages congratulating the pair, as EastEnders star Dean Gaffney commented with a string of red hearts.

Ex Corrie star Lucy Fallon penned: "Congratulations guys!" and Lisa Snowdon said: "Huge congratulations!!"

It comes after Lucy posted a sweet video of her baby moving around in her stomach, as she told fans she felt "exhausted".

Her active tot pressed against the inside of her belly, prompting Lucy to write: "So exhausted, but this little one wants to party!"

Lucy and her Coronation Street star beau Ryan, 37, said they suspected they were having a baby girl.

The Towie favourite recently told Hello: "I had an inkling that I was having a girl, but I was a bit more unsure than with Roman.

“With him, I just knew - I don't know why, but even before we found out, I said: 'I know, one hundred per cent, it's a boy.'"

Ryan previously admitted he feared she would give birth while he was taking part in the ITV competition The Games after recently going on their babymoon.

Lucy and Ryan met when they were both starring in Channel 4 reality series, The Island with Bear Grylls.

The couple got engaged two years later while on holiday in Italy.

Their nuptials have been put on the back burner since welcoming their son, with Lucy joking they don't have time to organise it.
