Lucy Mecklenburgh has directly addressed rumors about an alleged ‘affair’ with her fiancé Ryan Thomas’ well-known brother. The former TOWIE star, aged 34, confronted the speculations head-on following swirling gossip linking her to Scott Thomas.
The speculation arose after Scott mentioned how much he and Lucy have in common and their frequent phone conversations. Just a month prior, Ryan and Lucy disclosed that they are now sleeping in separate rooms.
Nonetheless, the trio, including the couple and Scott, dismissed the rumors and added a touch of humor to the situation. They collaborated on a sketch where Lucy was seen playfully hugging Scott in her home hallway, with a large black coat hanging in the background. During the interaction, Lucy teased Scott about his workout routine, to which he humorously responded about his gym visits.
Suddenly, Ryan, the former Coronation Street star, made a surprise appearance by dropping his legs out of the coat. This led to a comical exchange between the brothers, with Scott jokingly saying he should leave the scene.
In a light-hearted caption accompanying the video, they wrote, “When your brother starts getting suspicious of all the rumors…” Scott and Adam further addressed the situation on their podcast, At Home With The Thomas Bros.
Scott mentioned, “The fact that we were so open with each other I would have thought it was a clear sign that it’s not anything untoward.” Ryan humorously added, “I’ll be honest, I was a bit uncomfortable with it.” He then commented, “I actually don’t care and don’t see any of this, I love how close we are as a family, but get a bird mate!” Scott also shared a past crush on Adam’s wife, Caroline Daly.
Recently, Lucy candidly discussed changes in her relationship with Ryan, revealing they now sleep in separate bedrooms after eight years together due to Ryan’s disruptive sleeping habits. This decision, although questioned by a couples’ counselor, has become a norm for the couple, with Lucy often seeking solace by cuddling up with their son for a peaceful sleep.
Despite potential criticisms, a source close to the couple mentioned that Lucy and Ryan are untroubled by others’ opinions regarding their sleeping arrangement. They prioritize what works best for them, ensuring a good night’s rest for Lucy, who handles most of the childcare responsibilities due to Ryan’s work commitments. The couple values their quality time together and believe their unconventional sleeping pattern does not diminish their bond. They remain content with their arrangement to avoid sleep disruptions post-quality time spent together.
