Fresh from his win, Dancing On Ice champion Ryan Thomas jetted off on a lads' holiday to Dubai last week -while fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh stayed at home with their two children.
Judging by their social media accounts, their experiences couldn't have been more different. As Ryan, 39, celebrated in the sunshine, Lucy, 32, revealed she was having one of the "least favourite days of her life".
Taking to Instagram, the former TOWIE star explained she's been juggling feeling unwell while looking after their son Roman, four, and 22-month-old daughter, Lilah.
She told her followers, "Very little sleep for two nights, solo parenting and my endometriosis symptoms are at the worst they've ever been! Sending love to anyone else struggling today." While Lucy is extremely supportive of her other half, a source has said she's found it difficult while he's been away.
"Ryan felt like he needed a break after Dancing On Ice, so is holidaying in Dubai. The show was really gruelling and the training is intense - you have to put in a lot of work.
It's mentally and physically tough, so he's been letting his hair down and celebrating his win," our source claimed.
