Ever since former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh and Coronation Street favourite Ryan Thomas announced they were dating way back in 2017, we have literally been obsessed with every aspect of their romance.

Whether it was Lucy's support for Ryan during his ordeal with Roxanne Pallett in the Celebrity Big Brother house, their stunning engagement, or the couple's recent baby news, there's no denying Lucy and Ryan are total GOALS.

The pair, who often keep fans updated with their lives on social media, have now teased their unborn baby's gender, as Lucy received the results on the same day as her pregnant BFF Lydia Bright.

Taking to her Instagram Story, Lucy posted a video of her baby gender results in an unopened envelope, telling fans, "OMG my gender results. I want to open it so bad. It's going to kill me this. I'm going to hide it somewhere. Can someone pick it up and hide it for me?"

She captioned the video with, 'Our bubbas gender is in here!!!!'. [sic]
