Ryan Thomas shares his 'worry' about appearing on ITV The Games alongside snap of pregnant fiancé Lucy

Ryan Thomas has shared his main 'worry' about appearing on The Games following the second live show. The former Coronation Street star has joined 11 other celebs in going out of their comfort zone to compete in a series of Olympic-style events.

The new ITV show, which started on Monday (May 9) and airs live every night until Friday (May 13), sees the group of famous faces racking up points every night by going head-to-head in events ranging from swimming to weight lifting.

Then, after 12 weeks of training and a week of live shows, a male and female winner will be crowned of The Games, which is being hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff.

Viewers saw Ryan get his first big win on Tuesday night (May 10) as he took part in the men's canoe slalom, Corrie's Colson Smith, The Wanted's Max George, former Love Island star Wes Nelson, wx-Strictly pro and leading man Kevin Clifton, and Harry Potter actor Josh Herdman.

But earlier in the episode, the 38-year-old was left mortified when he suffered a wardrobe malfunction after he and Chelcee Grimes took to the 7.5m springboard for their second synchronized dive of the competition.

However, the sporting challenges are the least of Ryan's worries if his latest Instagram post is anything to go by. The former soap star and Celebrity Big Brother winner shared a photo of his heavily pregnant fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh.

The picture showed Lucy back at their Essex home posing for a mirror selfie while showing off her blessing bump having rolled up her top. The former The Only Way is Essex star is due to give birth any day now.

Ryan wrote alongside the snap of his wife-to-be: "My biggest worry is this! Ticking time bomb @lucymeck1." He then added: "Will I make it to the end of @thegamestv."

Earlier this week while appearing on This Morning, host Phillip Schofield noticed Ryan was a bit distracted as he checked his smart watch during the interview alongside Colson and Christine McGuinness. "How close is Lucy actually to giving birth, mate?" Phillip asked to which Ryan replied: "Like this week close, Phil."

He added: "She sent me a picture this morning and I can't tell you how low this baby looks. If this little girl comes this week, I am out of the show. Fingers crossed I get to the end of it and I can finish it and complete it and then move on to the next chapter of our lives."

Lucy announced she was expecting again in November when she shared a photo on Instagram. The adorable post showed her cradling her baby bump while her and Ryan's son, Roman, looked at his own bare stomach.
