Lucy Mecklenburgh defends decision to go for a walk with baby son Roman after urging people to self-isolate – OK! magazine

Lucy Mecklenburgh has hit back at claims that she’s a “hypocrite” for going for a walk with her baby son and fiance Ryan Thomas while urging people to self-isolate amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The new mum, who welcomed her first child into the world two weeks ago, took to her Instagram Story to urge people to distance themselves from each other after several members of the public were seen spending time in parks this weekend.

Lucy, 28, wrote: “Why are people finding this so difficult to understand?! STAY AT HOME! It will save so many lives!!! It’s really simple! Stop being selfish!”

The former TOWIE star then revealed that she had received messages saying she was being “hypocritical” after enjoying a stroll with newborn Roman and beau Ryan.

“For DM’s about me going for a walk being hypocritical… I was with Ryan & Roman for an hour a day. We don’t come into contact with anyone or touch anything.

“From a distance I could see big groups of people having coffees together on bench’s, shops full, groups of people chatting, coffee shops packed!!! I don’t understand,” she wrote.

It comes after Ryan shared an adorable photo of Lucy and their newborn son to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend.

In the photograph Roman takes centre stage as he’s cuddled by a smiling Lucy, who in-turn is being held by Ryan.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner, 35, captioned the picture: “Happy first Mother’s Day” and rounded it off with a red heart emoji.

The pair’s celebrity friends were quick to comment on how beautiful the shot is, with Samia Longchambon writing: “Absolutely beautiful Ry… Roman is adorable!”

Actor Charlie Condou wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day you beautiful beautiful people”.

Lucy’s best friend and new mum Lydia Bright also commented simply saying “Just so perfect”, with a blue heart emoji.
