Speaking about her pregnancy, Lucy told OK! Magazine: “We’ve been keeping it a secret. I’m scared but excited.”
Lucy is currently 19 weeks pregnant, however she also revealed that she suffered a miscarriage back in March, finding out the devastating news when they went for an early seven week scan.
Describing it as a ‘traumatising’ and ‘horrendous’ time she told the publication “I had pregnancy symptoms and I was feeling really unwell and when they were doing all these scans my symptoms were getting worse and worse and there were no signs I had a miscarriage, so that made it more of a shock.”
Lucy then had to have surgery to remove the pregnancy tissue.

However the couple also revealed that the experience made them realise that they truly wanted to start a family together and it ultimately brought them closer together.
Lucy went to on to say she was surprised to fall pregnant again so soon after her miscarriage and feels ‘very fortunate.’
