Pregnant Lucy Mecklenburgh uses mum hack to squeeze into skinny jeans as she ignores Tina O’Brien drama
LUCY Mecklenburgh used a mum hack to squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans before heading to dinner last night – as she ignored the ongoing drama with Ryan Thomas's ex Tina O'Brien.
The 28-year-old used a hair band to extend the waist size of her jeans as she gave fans an insight into life with her growing bump.

Sharing a picture of her trick on Instagram, she thanked her sister-in-law to be by writing: “Thanks Caroline Thomas for this trick! I’m taking a spare hair band it’s quite tight.”
Caroline is married to Ryan’s brother Adam and is a mum of two so has been showing Lucy the tricks of the trade.
Lucy and fiance Ryan shared their exciting baby news over the weekend and they were inundated with well wishes from friends and family.
However Ryan’s ex Tina - who he shares daughter Scarlett with - has posted a series of cryptic posts after the news.

The actress, 36, uploaded a picture on to her instagram account of a woman on a beach staring out to sea with the quote: "Don't waste your time with explanations. People will hear what they want to hear."
The quote is from author Paulo Coelho, who penned spiritual bestseller The Alchemist.
Many of her fans believe the quote was a response to the reaction her previous cryptic post received about "not trusting what you see on social media".

The ten-year-old broke down in tears as she was filmed being surprised with a box that said "open me" at a family party this weekend.
Breaking her silence for the first time since on social media on Tuesday, Tina posted the message: "Don't always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar."
Her followers quickly jumped to the conclusion she was making a dig at Ryan and Lucy publicly sharing the emotional moment, and she quickly deleted the post.

The latest cryptic post has also seen lots of reactions from her followers, who raced to comment on her instagram.
"These posts don't coincide with the news of the ex’s baby at all 🤣🙄," wrote one sarcastically.
"Last quote been deleted 🤔 gotta get over it love," added another.
"Have you been hacked 🧐 or are you bitter towards the new announcement?" asked a third.
A fourth said: "All attention seeking nonsense. Why be cryptic?? Who actually cares? Get over yourself love!!"

Others were quick to jump to Tina's defence.
"People are so quick to judge on social media. It’s beyond weird.. this post could literally be about anything ever thought of that??" said one fan.
Another added: "Just because she puts up a quote does not mean it’s directly correlated to her ex! She is happily married and I’m sure she’s doing just fine."
Former Coronation Street star Ryan dated Tina for six years up until 2003 but split a year after Scarlett was born.

The pair insist they're still on good terms after finding love with other people - and maintain their focus is on co-parenting their daughter.
Tina remarried in 2018 after meeting Adam Crofts back in 2011 and the couple had a son called Beau in 2014.
CBB winner Ryan has always approved of Tina’s romance with Adam and has sang his praises as a stepfather.
