Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas take their relationship to the next level as she meets his daughter Scarlett on cinema trip
LUCY Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas took their relationship to the next level as the stars enjoyed a cinema trip with Ryan's daughter Scarlett.
While the duo didn't tag each other in their Instagram posts on Sunday, they both shared posts from an outing to London's Backyard Cinema.
The trio watched nineties classic Mrs Doubtfire at the pop-up cinema and the date was of particular importance because they were joined by seven-year-old Scarlett.
In clips shared on Ryan's Instagram Stories, the young child was clearly excited for the cinema trip.
While Lucy admitted on her own account that Mrs Doubtfire was one of her favourite films.
The outing comes after Lucy finally declared her love for Ryan on social media.
The former Towie star, 26, met Corrie star Ryan while filming Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island together months ago and she's finally embraced the romance in a cute Instagram snap.
The TV couple had been out at Italy's Lake Como at a wedding, and Lucy decided to share a loved-up snap of her and Ryan by a window.
Making her first acknowledgement of the attachment, she captioned it: "With my favourite 💛."
Fans flocked to add their congratulatory comments, including "beautiful couple so well suited too 😍😍 xxx" and "Perfect couple!".
MECK'S MISSION Ex-Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh is battling it out on Celebrity Island 2017
Ryan, 33, invited Lucy to the Indian-style wedding, which his two lookalike brothers Adam and Scott were also attending.
So far he hasn't posted any snaps of his girlfriend on social media but the pair were making public appearances together since Wimbledon in June, and Lucy posted a pic of them together in July.
The fact Lucy decided to share a pic of them together at a wedding hints their romance is going from strength to strength - after her failed, high-profile romances with Mark Wright, Mario Falcone and Louis Smith.
And the pair have already packed in the air miles with holidays to California and Greece together.
They also recently hit Manchester alongside Ryan's brother Scott, who appeared on Love Island in 2016.
This is soap hunk Ryan's first major romance since splitting from Topshop worker Lana Martin in September 2016.
Ryan and Lucy may have kept their romance private but their very first kiss, lying on a beach, will be shown on Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls this month.
A teaser clip showed the pair puckering up as Ryan lay on his back - a raunchy moment that will nevertheless leave viewers less shocked than the amount of swearing on the show.
