Lucy Mecklenburgh finally picks name for daughter three weeks after giving birth

Lucy Mecklenburgh and her partner Ryan Thomas have finally chosen a name for their baby daughter almost a month after she was born - although they are still holding off on sharing it with fans.

The Only Way is Essex alum, 30, gave birth to her second child with ex-Corrie actor, 38, three weeks ago, with the baby believed to have arrived in the world more than a week after her due date.

The couple already share a young son Roman Thomas, two, and Ryan has a daughter - Scarlett Thomas, 13 - from his previous relationship with fellow soap actor Tina O'Brien, 38, according to the Mirror.

Following the much-anticipated birth of her second child, Lucy has been open with her social media followers about the "difficulty" in choosing a name for the new addition to the family.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the pair deciding on a name but now, the reality TV star has provided an update - revealing that they have finally settled on one.

She revealed in a Q&A with her followers on Instagram earlier this afternoon that her and Ryan - best known for playing Jason Grimshaw on Coronation Street - had made their choice.

Lucy - who appeared on TOWIE from 2010 until 2013 - however didn't disclose the name to her fans, instead teasing that it will be announced in due course.

A follower asked in the recent Q&A: "Have you named her yet?" In response to the question, Lucy replied: "We have!" She however further commented: "I'll post her name later."

She's yet to share the name of her newborn daughter with fans on the social media platform, though it appears as though they don't have to wait much longer to find out.

Lucy previously opened up about the birth of her second child, telling fans that it was "really positive and calm," with her describing it as "quite quick and so special."

And asked how she juggles having two young children, Lucy said that it can feel like a "military operation," though she assured that her and partner Ryan "work as a team."

She explained that she breastfeeds and changes their newborn, whilst Ryan is often in charge of bathing, feeding and playing with Roman - who turned two last month.

Fans are going to have to wait to find out the name of the couple's newborn daughter, with their choice expected to be revealed by Lucy on her Instagram account sometime soon.
