Ryan Thomas picks his nose on romantic date with Lucy Mecklenburgh amid rumours he’s set to join I’m A Celebrity
RYAN Thomas enjoyed a meal for one in Australia yesterday - he was seen picking his nose and then licking his finger during a romantic stroll with girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh.
The former Coronation Street actor is rumoured to be replacing Jack Maynard in I'm a Celeb - so he's presumably getting in practise for those Bushtucker Trials, which often involve having to eat something deeply unpleasant.
Ryan - who recently joined the cast of long-running Aussie soap Neighbours - showed off his bulging biceps in a dark green pocket T-shirt, paired with some grey denim shorts and caramel coloured trainers.
Lucy looked chic in double denim, rocking a denim coat, skirt and a white t-shirt that had "eternal optimist" written across the front.
The couple - who started dating earlier this year after meeting while filming for The Island - were later seen enjoying a cheeky glass of wine together at a nearby restaurant.
The duo looked deep in conversation as they drank their drinks and ate their nibbles... hopefully Lucy told Ryan that a 33-year-old man should not be picking his nose in public.
Ryan was hotly tipped to be heading to the I'm A Celeb jungle after YouTuber Jack was booted off the show.
The star shared a shot of himself with a number of his Neighbours co-stars, suggesting he had finished filming.
He wrote: "Everybody needs good neighbours" #familygoals thank you guys nothing but absolute love ❤️”
Lucy also appeared in the image after spending the last couple of weeks Down Under with him.

The former Towie star had also been rumoured to heading into the jungle – and while the ten campmates are already settled, there is now an extra space available after Jack's shock exit.
When she first arrived in Australia fans speculated about them entering as a couple.
One person wrote: “So you and @ryanthomas84 are in Oz, oh and I'm a celeb is coming up, go figure!”
While another commented: “Good luck in the jungle!!! reason I’m watching.”
Jack was booted out of the jungle after The Sun revealed a series of derogatory comments he had made on social media in the past, and it emerged that he had been accused of sending inappropriate messages to a female fan.
Ryan moved to Australia to play Rafael Humphreys on the show - a loner with "dark secrets" who comes to Ramsay Street to confront a difficult chapter from his past.
Fans will see him on screen early 2018 in Neighbours.
