but they know they will
be. Apart from Lucy and
Scarlett, they’re the most
important people in my life
- Scott and Adam are my
backbone, they’re there for
me no matter what. I don’t
want a stag do, though.
I’ve been on enough to
know that there is too
much humiliation involved!
Will you invite any
of your former
Corrie co-stars to the
wedding?
Definitely. I have so
many friends from
Corrie. I’m close to
quite a few of them and
can’t imagine them not
being at our wedding.
It’ll be difficult to leave
any of them out!
The last time we met,
you were looking to buy a house together.
Have you found anywhere yet?
Lucy: We still haven’t found anywhere! Ryan
lives in an apartment in Manchester so we want
to find a family home, but it’s proving difficult.
We currently split our time between his place
and my house in Essex.
Ryan: We’ll never be able to have just one
home because Scarlett’s in Manchester and
Lucy has her Results With Lucy
business in London. People
find it weird that we split our
time between two places but it
works for us.Lucy, you recently admitted
you begged a surgeon to
make your face thinner when
you were unhappy. Why did
you speak out?
I want to highlight the
importance of not rushing
into a life-changing decision.
I’ve seen so many people get
work done and regret it. I want
people to think before going
under the knife. I was lucky
that I had a surgeon who could
see my decision was for the
wrong reasons. People have
messaged me saying they’ve
cancelled their surgery after
reading my story.Do you think you would have
considered surgery again if
you’d stayed in reality TV?
I’ve always been pretty level-headed, even
in my TOWIE days. Back then I was offered
free surgery every single day but I always felt
confident enough to say no. I’ve never even
had lip filler. Reality TV has sparked a trend in
excessive plastic surgery, which I think is sad.
But like all trends, it will come to an end and
what happens when big bums aren’t in fashionany more but you can’t
reverse the work you’ve
had done? It’s scary.Ryan, you posted a
picture with Michael
Douglas on social
media [right] and said
there was ‘exciting news coming’...
People should know by now that the Thomas
brothers love to wind people up! I was just
having a laugh! I bumped into him in London
and we got talking. He was lovely so I asked
him for a picture.Do you have any plans to return to acting?
I’ve lost the love for it a bit. I’m really content
in the direction my career is taking away from
acting. I found it hard going back to auditioning
after Corrie. I’d only ever had one audition in
my life and it landed me a role that lasted for 16
years. I find auditions really intimidating now.
That environment makes me feel a bit insecure
because I’m not used it. I was so comfortable at
Corrie, so it was daunting putting myself back
out there to be judged like that.
