The couple are currently living in Lucy’s native Essex with their son Roman while they work on doing up their new Cheshire pad.

Back in March, Lucy shocked her Instagram followers when she shared a snap of a set of keys, captioned: ‘New house, new project, new memories to be made.’

Although Ryan now has two homes in the UK, he recently confessed that he would love to live abroad.

He explained that won’t be able to happen in the near-future, however, as he wouldn’t want to leave daughter Scarlett, who remains in Manchester with actress mother Tina O’Brien.

Talking to brothers Adam and Scott for his Mancs on the Mic podcast, he said: ‘What it comes down to is the weather. The weather changes everything, if it’s not nice weather you stay indoors.

‘In California the weather is good all year round so what do people do? They spend their time outside. Playing basketball, on the beach, going for runs. I feel like that is a happy life when you have the good weather. It keeps people motivated …

‘The only thing that stops that happening, is Scarlett. She lives in two homes. I would like her to have a base, where she can feel it is her “other home”.

‘Otherwise for six months of the year I could live abroad and work from home.’

The actor has previously worked in Australia after scoring a short-lived role in long-running soap Neighbours, starring as Rafael Humphreys for two months between February and April 2018.
