Lucy Mecklenburgh revealed she has been 'struggling' and told fans she managed to get through her 'least favourite day'.

The 32-year-old TOWIE star, who has been feeling ill while looking after her and fiancé Ryan Thomas ' children, took to her Instagram to share a life update with her 1.7million followers. She posted snaps of her cuddling with her children - four-year-old Roman and 22-month-old Lilah - on the sofa.

"Very little sleep for two nights, solo parenting and my endometriosis symptoms are at the worst they have ever been! Sending love to anyone else struggling today," she told fans. She barely got any sleep in three nights and managed to lock herself out of the house while her children were inside enjoying a snack.

"So today's officially probably one of my least favourite days there has ever been in my life," she said in a video story. "It's just been hard work today, little sleep, very hard work, and then just to top off, I just went to put the bins out and the door slammed behind me - both the kids eating a snack inside.

"I can't see them. I was like, 'Oh my God'. I saw my neighbour's door slam of their car, I'm jumping up and down like 'help me! Oh, God!' It's good that we'd know and get on with them really well because it was very embarrassing." Her little boy ended up being the person unlocking the door for her.

Explaining how she got him to go it, she said: "I was like, right. Let's think about this logically - Roman, can you go upstairs and get your stool from the bathroom if you open this door for me, not anyone else ever but just for mummy? and he did it." Meanwhile, her fiancé Ryan has been enjoying the sunshine in Dubai with his brothers Scott and Adam following his stint on Dancing On Ice.

Soap actor Ryan, 39, was the winner of the latest series of Dancing On Ice alongside his dance partner Amani Fancy. Following his stint, he discussed when he'll be tying the knot with Lucy. He popped the question to ex-TOWIE star Lucy, 32, in June 2019.

But when the length of their engagement comes up, Ryan said: “Don’t remind her.” He joked he would set a date once they “stop having children” and their brood can walk down the aisle with them. He thinks Lucy may have been dropping hints by wearing white to the rink.

He said: “She turned up in a wedding outfit to DoI and I said, ‘Darling this isn’t your moment.’” He said: “The biggest hero in all of this is Lucy. She gave me the chance to do this, and looking after the children at home is probably a harder job. I am very lucky that she has given me this freedom to be able to do this job.”
