Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas enjoy walk with family

Lucy Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas enjoyed some quality time with baby son Roman on Friday morning, four months after welcoming their first child as a couple.

The pair were joined by 11-year old Scarlett – Ryan’s daughter with former partner and Coronation Street co-star Tina O’Brien – as they ventured out for a walk close to the family home.

Sporting a vibrant pink co-ord with a belted waist, Lucy, 28, drew attention to her post-pregnancy physique as she walked alongside the youngster while sipping a takeaway coffee.

Consigned to buggy duty, Ryan looked equally relaxed in a black T-shirt and casual shorts while taking care of his baby son.

Joining the couple, Scarlett was dressed for climbing summer temperatures in a white vest top and denim skirt teamed with white trainers.

Their appearance comes after Lucy revealed she’s shed a whopping four stone since welcoming Roman in March.

The former TOWIE star took to Instagram on Wednesday to share how she’s managed to lose weight after giving birth.

Slamming meal replacement shakes, the fitness enthusiast credited her slimmed-down figure to a balanced diet and a light exercise regime.

Lucy wrote: ‘A lot of people are asking me about my diet after Roman, but the answer is I’m not on one.

He reasoned: ‘I was young and naive when I had Scarlett and I didn’t really appreciate it the way I do now. I have a different outlook now. But, you know, there’s no right or wrong time for parenthood.

‘I’m just at a very different place in my life compared to back then – it was 11 years ago, and so in a lot of ways this feels like the first time all over again.

‘I’m not working at the moment so I’m living and breathing what happens in our house and it’s just incredible what a woman can do’To go through the pregnancy, the birth, learning to feed, it’s really inspiring to see.’
