Lucy Mecklenburgh has shared the heartwarming moment her son Roman first met his unborn little sister.
The former TOWIE star is expecting her second child with Ryan Thomas and the happy couple recently confirmed they will be welcoming their first daughter together into the world this spring.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Lucy, 30, shared some snaps from her latest 4D scan with her 1.7million followers.
In the adorable images, the pregnant star's son Roman, one, can be seen lovingly looking at his unborn sister on the monitor during his mum's scan.
"My baby girl [love heart emoji]. The first time Roman saw his little sister," Lucy captioned the sweet update to her fans.
"Oh hello little lady," former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tlydesley commented under the adorable snaps.
Lucy's former TOWIE co-star Lydia Bright gushed: "My heart [love heart emoji]. He is going to be the best big brother."
"She is gonna be Romans double," a fan added to the many comments on Tuesday.
Lucy's first experience of motherhood came just weeks before the first ever lockdown began in the U.K, giving birth to son Roman on 7 March 2020.
Roman was the first child together for the star and actor Ryan, who also shares a 13-year-old daughter with Corrie star Tina O'Brien.
Speaking about the pending arrival of her second child earlier this month, Lucy admitted she had a feeling she was carrying a girl this time around.
"I had an inkling that I was having a girl, but I was a bit more unsure than with Roman. With him I just knew – I don't know why but even before we found out, I said: 'I know, one hundred per cent, it's a boy'," she told HELLO!
In their joint interview, Ryan and Lucy - who met on the set of The Island with Bear Grylls - also revealed they have a list of 15 names for their unborn daughter, but will wait to meet her to pick out a moniker.
"Nothing in the world beats that moment when you hold your baby for the first time," the pregnant star added when chatting about giving birth later this year.
Lucy and Ryan announced the fitness fanatic's second pregnancy in November last year.
The happy couple got engaged in 2019, after the Jason Grimshaw actor popped the question during a pictureesque holiday in Italy.
Having organised a romantic meal for the pair, the Celebrity Big Brother winner proposed with a gorgeous gold engagement ring that Lucy went on to show off on her Instagram Stories.
"I said YES," the Essex native told her followers at the time - posting some snaps of her square yellow diamond, flanked by more diamonds on the shoulder of the white gold band.
Speaking last year, Lucy admitted wedding planning had taken a back seat, due to the ongoing pandemic.
The pregnant star revealed it 'wasn't the right time' to tie the knot, and wasn't a focus for her and Ryan.
"We're going to wait until everything calms down and we'll start planning. It's something exciting to look forward to," she confessed to OK! magazine in January 2021.
