Lucy, who got engaged to Ryan in 2019, admitted she struggles to get decent shut eye thanks to her partner being a “nightmare sleeper”.
She made the confession on the At Home With The Thomas Brothers podcast, joining her fiance and his two brothers for the latest episode.
Lucy explained: “Basically we sleep in separate bedrooms because Ryan is a nightmare sleeper.”
His brother Adam joked: “He’s always trying it on with me,” while their sibling and Love Island star Scott quipped: “He always wants a cuddle.”
They were all left in hysterics, with mum-of-two Lucy saying: “I mean that is annoying…”
She continued: “Basically Ryan snores, he sleep talks, he whacks me in his sleep.”
Ryan cheekily replied: “I weren’t asleep darling,” leaving them in fits of giggles.
TV personality Lucy then explained the reason behind their decision to sleep separately.
She said: “It’s just to get a good night’s sleep. And that’s just become normal now. But sometimes I do sleep with Roman.”
When they asked Adam if he and wife Caroline have ever slept apart, the ex Emmerdale star admitted he “couldn’t imagine” not sleeping in a bed with his wife.
Although some couples believe sleeping in the same bedroom is important for their relationship, a number of celebrities disagree.
Vicky Pattison and her new husband Ercan Ramadan revealed they don’t always sleep in the same bedroom together.
Joe Swash also confessed that he and Stacey Solomon sleep in different rooms thanks to his busy schedule.
Even Richard Madeley and wife Judy Finnigan sleep separately when he has to appear on Good Morning Britain the next day.
Speaking to Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast, he said: “When I’m doing Good Morning Britain I sleep in the spare room.
“I do probably sleep a little bit better in bed with Judy but I’m okay on my own.
On the notion of disrupting Judy’s rest, he quipped: “I wouldn’t think of doing that to Judy.
“Apart from anything else, Judy and her sleep, you do not mess with.”
While comedian Katherine Ryan revealed she doesn’t share a bed with her husband – and instead sleeps “like a dog’” at the foot of my kid’s bed.
EMOTIONAL MOVE
In February, Lucy said an emotional goodbye to her home of 11 years.
The star shared a video of her packing up her London home after moving to Manchester with Ryan and their children.
But as she packed away her things, Lucy shared that she struggled with the memories of the house, which was her first home after moving away from her parents and first renovation.
Calling the move “one of the most emotional weeks of her life” she told her followers: “I really didn’t expect to get so emotional, but I moved out of my home 11 years this week, that’s how we spent half term.”
“It was such mixed emotions, because we outgrew this house so long ago,” she continued. “We’ve made the big move to Manchester, and we’re really happy, but there’s so many memories I’ve hung on to in this house.
“I went from being single, it was my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out my parents, I guess, and I bought both my babies back from hospital here.”
