Speaking to The Sun recently Lucy revealed that they won't be living together full-time once they tie the knot. Ryan is based in Manchester where his daughter Scarlett lives, and Lucy lives nearer the capital. She explained: "We will always have two homes north and south. It works well for us right now and we don't see it changing anytime soon." Who knows whether the birth of their new little'un will change all that!
