Ryan Thomas supported by Coronation Street cast after emotional post

Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has been offered support by his ex-colleagues as he shared some family news.

The 37-year-old, best known for his portrayal of Jason Grimshaw on the cobbles, is engaged to former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh. She has just given birth to their second child.

The pair have son Roman, two, together. Ryan also shares daughter Scarlett, 13, with his ex and fellow Corrie star Tina O'Brien.

Lucy revealed she had given birth to a baby girl on Tuesday. At the time, she also revealed she and Ryan hadn't chosen a name for the new arrival "just yet".

On Friday, Ryan shared a photo of himself cuddling his new baby daughter with his arm around Scarlett's shoulder. Sitting beside them is Lucy holding Roman.

Captioning the snap on Instagram, he said: "Lucky is a understatement [heart emoji]". He also shared the post to his Instagram story, adding: "All I ever need" and "3 kids?!! When did that happen?"

Corrie stars rushed to offer their support and well-wishes.

Cath Tyldesley, who played Eva Price in the soap until 2018, said: "Gorgeous, so much love xxx". Maria Connor actress Samia Longchambon simply posted a series of love emojis.

Influencer and former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood, who appeared alongside Ryan on The Games last month, said: "The best."
