Despite the camera being focused on a mug of tea, her followers soon noticed that she'd already decked the halls.

Following a wave of DMs, Lucy addressed the frenzy in another post.

She said in a video: "I've never had so many DMs in my entire life about this situation.

"Yep, I have my Christmas tree up guys. I've got my stair garland up.

"Some people are loving this by the way. Some people have a really strong opinion that I shouldn't have them up yet."

Despite the mixed responses, Lucy explained her reasoning behind the early celebration, saying: "But I thought we're out the house, we've done bonfire night.

"Well, we haven't actually, that's tomorrow, but we've done like fireworks and Halloween out the way.

"And then to come back to all the decorations up, all the rest gone.

"And I am going to get little trees for the kids’ rooms," she shared, adding that she was in the process of ordering miniature trees for her children to decorate as they please.

"I like them done, no mess, and a really lovely festive house to come home from holiday to. So, I'm so excited.

"It is hilarious how many messages I've had about the decorations and there's a little sneak peek of the stair garland.

"Gone really simple, like big bells and velvet bows. It's gorgeous. Yeah, people are so like, 'Oh my God, where the hell have you got your decorations?' I've got it so early. And other people are like, 'Yay, you've inspired me to put mine up this week.'"

Lucy and her fiancé Ryan Thomas have just got back from a family holiday to Turkey, where they stayed at a plush £700-a-night resort with its own water park.

The family soaked up the sunshine at Cullinan Belek, a resort which promises "unique experiences filled with serenity and joy" in the country's Antalya district.

Former Coronation Street star Ryan, 40, captured the sun-soaked grounds of the resort in an Instagram video which showcased an array of loungers surrounded by palm trees.

He then panned a video of huge orange water slides twisting and turning in corkscrew fashion alongside a huge set of green steps and wrote: "A water park in the hotel," followed by a hand clap Emoji.

The dad of three then captured his youngest daughter Lilah, aged two, making full use of the facility as she pulled on her armbands and paddled in the pool.

Another slide saw her sharing a kiss with her mum, former TOWIE star Lucy, before she gave big brother Roman, aged four, a hug.

Fitness app founder Lucy was also quick to document the idyllic getaway in a video posted to her Instagram Stories.

Ryan hailed their gang the "half term crew" as they posed outside a set of palm trees.

Mum of two Lucy looked stunning in an oversized white linen shirt, worn unbuttoned to expose her blue bikini top, and matching wide-legged trousers.

She pulled on a pair of sunglasses and clutched an iced coffee as she posed for her snap.

Ryan, dressed in a nude shirt, blue shorts and sun hat, juggled one child in each arm as he posed for the sweet family clip.

Lucy set up the camera and then scooted back to the bunch.

They encouraged Lilah, in a green swimsuit, and Roman, in an all-black outfit, to give a big wave to the camera.

One fan was quick to comment on the heart-warming clip and wrote: "Lovely Vid, Hope Yous Are Having A Super Time Lucy xx"

A second simply put: "Beautiful family xx"

A third then quipped: "Look at those two cuties????? Kids are looking angelic too lol xxxxx"

Stays at the plush venue come in at around £700-a-night - with guests promised an experience that is "beyond a holiday."

It has been an exciting month for Ryan, who recently celebrated his eldest daughter Scarlett's 16th birthday.

Their latest trip came after Lucy threw her man a lavish 40th birthday bash in Portugal.

Yet the couple were promptly holiday-shamed by some internet trolls after it was revealed the UAE excursion was a freebie.
