Dreams of Marriage

During the interview, Lucy confirmed that she was hoping to get hitched any day now, but that she had changed tactics on how to persaude her other half, Ryan, to pop the question...

The former Hodgson Academy and Blackpool Sixth Form College pupil told OK Magazine: “He hasn’t proposed yet, I’m still waiting.

 “I have dropped subtle hints but I don’t want him to feel the pressure. I want to be taken aback. And I want to be completely surprised.

“I don’t want to talk about it all the time and have a sense that he’s going to do it.

“I’m just not going to mention it again, ever, to him. So then I’m totally taken by surprise and I can go, ‘Oooooh... I was not expecting that!’ Whatever he does will be the right thing. And it’ll be perfect.”

Her love of motherhood

Lucy became a mum for the first time just under a year ago, and speaking about the experience, she said: “The first couple of months were like a blur and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, what is happening?

“But it just gets better and better. Sonny is the best thing that has ever happened to both of us. We just love it. We have so much fun the three of us. It’s made our relationship even better having him around. Everything is just really nice.”

Future baby plans

Despite loving motherhood, the soap star was confident that she was not going to be adding to her brood anytime soon, when she was asked so by OK.

Reportedly laughing, Lucy said: “Give me a minute!  “Definitely not yet. I’ve only just gone back to work and I want to enjoy Sonny and be the three of us for as long as possible. I would like to have more in the future, but definitely not anytime soon.”

When asked how many kids she does hope to have in the future, Lucy replied: “I’m one of three, so I can see three. But Ryan’s one of two, so he thinks two,” says Lucy.

“We’ll just have to see what happens. It’s either two or three.”
