Ryan Thomas and Lucy Mecklenburgh on first date night since welcoming baby boy

Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas and his fiancee Lucy Mecklenburgh enjoyed their first date night after welcoming their first child together in March.

Ryan and Lucy, who live between Manchester and Essex, headed into Mayfair, London for a meal following the reopening of restaurants, bars and pubs after lockdown was imposed.

Lucy, 28, looked stunning in an embroidered caramel-coloured midi dress.

Sharing a short clip from inside Roka restaurant Ryan wrote: "Feeling a little bit normal for once."

And the pair were on great form as they headed back to the car.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy shared a video clip of her laughing as Ryan happily sang the line 'when the night is young' from Ben E. King's Stand By Me, saying they were going home for their baby boy Roman's feed.

"Mum and dad rock n roll night out we're so boring haha," she captioned the clip.

Then as Ryan drove them home she revealed her favourite thing about hew new car - a fridge which she uses to store her breast milk.

She said: "So the best thing about my new car is my fridge.

"But you know most people have refreshing drinks, water, maybe some snacks, champagne, but I've just pumped breast milk.

"I'm genuinely very excited."

Last month Ryan, who played Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street, surprised Lucy with a brand new Range Rover Fifty which thought to be worth around £84,000.

"Never driven a big car in my life, but with a baby I really need more room for pram etc wish me luck," she told fans about her gift.

After their date night Lucy shared a video of her greeting Roman in the morning, asking: "Did you miss momma last night, did you miss me?"

The couple welcomed Roman Ravello Thomas on March 12, just days before the UK went into lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pair got engaged last summer during a trip to the Italian cliffside village of Positano on the Amalfi Coast.

Ryan, 36, also has an 11-year-old daughter Scarlett with his ex Tina O'Brien, who plays Sarah Barlow in Corrie.
