Lucy Mecklenburgh is treated to a roast lunch and ten hours sleep from fiancé Ryan Thomas for first Mother’s Day… but is forced to hit back at critics slamming family for going on a walk
She welcomed her baby boy Roman earlier this month and on Sunday Lucy Mecklenburgh celebrated her first Mother’s Day.
The ex TOWIE star admitted it wasn’t how she expected to be marking her first Mother’s Day amid the coronavirus crisis, but she was ”felt lucky to be spending every moment with my little family.’
Lucy’s fiancé Ryan Thomas documented the family day on Instagram as Lucy revealed he had treated her to the ultimate gift- ten hours sleep.

‘Theres know denying this isn’t exactly how I saw my first Mother’s Day… BUT we are trying to stay positive and I feel very lucky to be spending every moment with my new little family,’ Lucy wrote on Sunday morning, pointing out she’d get:
‘Unlimited cuddles and kisses for my little man and we have him all to ourselves.’
As well as a ‘Mum’ mug and card, the new mum revealed her ultimate present as the family headed out on a walk in the sunshine.
‘So Ryan gave me the best Mother’s Day present ever, ten hours sleep! He’s the best!’ she gleefully revealed.

‘I did the last feed, I expressed and fed in the middle of the night and did the first feed this morning so I got a full ten hours and I feel amazing. The best Mother’s Day present for a new mum you could ask for.’
Ryan also shared a sweet video of himself pushing Roman in his pram while Lucy carried a bag with takeaway roast lunch.
But Lucy and Ryan’s choice of Mother’s Day activity attracted some criticism as Lucy later shared on Instagram that she was getting messages saying the trio shouldn’t have gone out on a walk.
‘For DM’s about me going for a walk being hypocritical.. I walk with Ryan and Roman for an hour a day. We don’t come into contact with anyone or touch anything,’ she wrote.

Lucy added that during her walk she could see others not adhering to the social distancing rules.
‘From a distance I could see big groups of people having coffees together on bench’s, shops full, groups of people chatting, coffee shops packed!! I don’t understand!! Social distancing’.
The fitness guru, 28, announced her pregnancy last August, after fiancé Ryan, 35, proposed during a trip to Italy’s Amalfi Coast in June. Ryan is already dad to Scarlett, 11, with his ex Tina O’Brien.
The couple met on Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls in early 2017. They brushed off split rumours in December 2018 after Lucy was pictured looking cosy with a man in a Dubai nightclub, believed to be her friend and business associate Adam Rossiter.
At the time, Ryan was said to be ‘in pieces’ over the pictures but the couple quickly moved on after Lucy explained it was her pal.
