Lucy Mecklenburgh has announced the gender of her second child with Ryan Thomas.
The couple, who are already parents to a son named Roman, shared their pregnancy news back in November.
In a new interview with HELLO!, Lucy said: “Our baby girl is due in late spring – we can’t wait.”
The former TOWIE star continued: “I had an inkling that I was having a girl, but I was a bit more unsure than with Roman. With him I just knew – I don’t know why but even before we found out, I said: ‘I know, one hundred per cent, it’s a boy.'”
When asked if she and Ryan had chosen a name for their daughter, Lucy replied: “With Roman we named him as soon as we found out we were having a boy. I remember we looked at a list and we both pointed to the same name.”
“But this time, we have a list of 15 names. We may just have to wait to meet her. Nothing in the world beats that moment when you hold your baby for the first time.”

The 30-year-old, who gave birth to her son Roman in March 2020, said of motherhood: “You experience this whole new kind of love, and they are your world. Nothing else really matters.”
“Being a new mum can be a very lonely place anyway, and then take away your mum popping in for a cup of coffee or going for a walk with a friend.”
“I’d put up Stories at 4am about feeding and I’d get mums messaging me back. It was a way to know you are not alone. That is how motherhood is: we are all in it together.”

Lucy and Ryan met back in 2017 on the TV show Survival Of The Fittest, and got engaged two years later while on a romantic Italian holiday.
Ryan is also the father of 11-year-old daughter Scarlett, who he shares with ex Tina O’Brien.
