Ryan Thomas celebrated his birthday in style in lockdown.
The former Corrie actor turned 36 while staying at home with his fiancee Lucy Mecklenburgh and their baby boy Roman - and the soap star said it was the 'best present' he could wish for.
Ryan received a lemon drizzle cake baked by Lucy's sister Lydia and their home was decorated with duck egg blue and gold balloons.
Sharing a snap of father of son on his special day Ryan wrote: "My first birthday with my little man is the best present I could wish for."
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy, 28, admitted the cake wasn't her own handiwork as she shared a photo on her Instagram stories.
And thanking Lydia for the treat, which they enjoyed with a brew, Ryan told her 'it's delicious.'
The couple enjoyed a slice of the cake while celebrating with Roman.
Lucy and Ryan have been together since May 2017, and announced their engagement two years later in June 2019, shortly before revealing they were expecting their first child.
Ryan, who played builder Jason Grimshaw in the soap from 2000 to 2016, met Lucy when they both appeared on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls in 2017.
The pair got engaged last summer during a picture perfect trip to the Italian cliffside village of Positano on the Amalfi Coast.
Lucy announced she had given birth to Roman on March 12, just days before the nation was put into lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
New mum Lucy recently told how her man came to her 'rescue' as she made an 'epic fail' going on a walk with Roman.
She got caught in a downpour as she carried their baby boy, expecting glorious weather, attached to her front in a new carrier.
She was delighted when former Coronation Street favourite Ryan turned up in his car to pick them up.
