The pair, who often keep fans updated with their lives on social media, have now teased their unborn baby's gender, as Lucy received the results on the same day as her pregnant best friend Lydia Bright.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Lucy posted a video of her baby gender results in an unopened envelope, telling fans, "OMG my gender results. I want to open it so bad. It's going to kill me this. I'm going to hide it somewhere. Can someone pick it up and hide it for me?"
She captioned the video with, 'Our bubbas gender is in here!!!!'. sic
After meeting on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls back in 2017, Lucy and Ryan's romance quickly blossomed, with Ryan introducing her to his daughter Scarlett, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend, Corrie actress Tina O'Brien.

After their cute announcement, Ryan shared an adorable video of his 10-year-old daughter discovering the news that she's going to be a big sister. He wrote, '....when Scarlett found out she was going to have a little brother or sister.' sic
