Reality star Lydia Bright has revealed that she and her BFF Lucy Mecklenburgh discovered they were pregnant on the same day.

The 29-year-old is expecting a baby girl with former boyfriend Lee Cronin, while Lucy, 28, is set to welcome a son with fiancé Ryan Thomas.

Discussing the stroke of fate, Lydia said on 'The Brights' podcast that by chance the best friends were due to start filming Celebrity Hunted when they found out they were going to be mothers.

She said: "I'll never forget the day we both found out we were pregnant.

"Basically, we were both due to start filming on Celebrity Hunted, I thought it would be a good idea to do a pregnancy test a couple of days before because I was off birth control and it came back positive to my shock."

Adding: "Because I fell pregnant very quickly, I gave Lucy a call, and she guessed that I was pregnant. So, she ran out and got a pregnancy test and called me 6 hours later and said she was pregnant as well.

"I mean, it's crazy. You couldn't write it."

In August, former Towie star Lucy and fiancé Ryan, 35, announced that were expecting their first child in a sweet Instagram post.

The photo saw the couple, who got engaged in June, holding up a cream knitted baby grow, while Lucy wrote in the caption: "Best birthday present I've ever had love you @ryanthomas84."

Former Coronation Street actor Ryan is already dad to 10-year-old daughter Scarlett from his previous relationship with fellow Corrie star Tina O'Brien, 36.

Meanwhile, ITVBe star Lydia confirmed her pregnancy with a gender reveal party.

At the party, Lydia opened a box decorated with pink and blue flowers, which released lots of pink balloons in the air and confirmed she was expecting a daughter.

The Essex native confirmed to OK! Magazine in August that she's set to welcome her bundle of joy in February, 2020.
