Lucy Mecklenburgh admits she 'struggles' to let her hair down since becoming a mum

Lucy Mecklenburgh has admitted has been struggling to let her hair down since becoming a mum as she's constantly about getting enough sleep.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy and a couple of her girl pals shared some bubbles during the football last night as England faced Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.

But the TV star admitted she wondered whether all the alcohol was worth it as her 16-month son, whom she shares with former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, woke her up twice in the early hours of the morning.

“Had some drinks watching the football last night & thought Romans so tired I’ll get a nice sleep…” revealed Lucy to her 1.7 million Instagram followers.

She added with a crying emoji face for good measure: “I went to bed at 12.30pm. He woke up at 2 & 5.

“An accurate photo of me now =,” Lucy offered, with a screwed-up emoji face for comedy affect.

The 29-year-old reality star was quick to debate whether being a new mum meant never getting the chance to her hair down anymore.

“Any other mums struggle with the fact they can never really let their hair down anymore without worrying how much sleep u will get,” she asked.

She stressed: “Make sure you don’t drink too much as a hangover with a toddler is hell on earth.”

Lucy’s poll had two answers: “Agreed” or “No Not Me”.

Lucy and Ryan welcomed their first son into the world in March 2020 – and the star has proved how great she is at multitasking with a string of social media videos and snaps over the last year.

Dressed in one sweet snap shared by former Celebrity Big Brother star Ryan, Lucy works out with Roman sucking his thumb on her tummy.

Lucy does bicycle crunches and was dubbed “super mama” by one of her army of followers for coping so well with balancing motherhood and her own fitness.

"Mama multitasking at its best!! Bicycle crunches & breastfeeding," she wrote alongside the pic on Insta.

"So glad @ryanthomas84 got this photo! I love it."

Lucy has actively shared her breastfeeding journey with her fans during the past 16 months and opening admitted her struggles with being a new mum.

"I quit pumping around 7months & breast feeding also became easier, more manageable & actually quite enjoyable!!” admitted the TV personality.

Lucy recently left her fans swooning as she modelled a vibrant rose print dress, just one of many pieces from her latest New Look edit clothing collection which launched last week.

"I am SOOO EXCITED to announce that I have an edit launching with @newlook,” revealed Lucy.

“From colourful smock dresses to pretty prints, the edit is everything I love for the summer."
