It's only been a matter of weeks since their relationship was made public, but Lucy Mecklenburgh has wasted no time in letting the world know how she feels. Taking to her Instagram page on Sunday, the former TOWIE star appeared to declare her love for new boyfriend Ryan Thomas by sharing a picture of the couple together, alongside a heart-shaped emoticon. The snap, which was taken during the couple's recent romantic break to Ibiza, sees the ex-Coronation Street actor, 33, gaze adoringly at Lucy, who was unable to hide her smile.

The TV stars first sparked dating rumours earlier this month when fans noticed they were posting pictures of the same bathroom suite in Panama. Then a few days later, they shared snaps from the same swimming pool in Santorini. It has been widely reported that the stars hit it off during the filming for survival show Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island. Fashion designer Lucy was previously in a high-profile relationship with Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, whom she dated for 14 months before they split last year.
