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.
