The actress, who recently welcomed baby son Carter into the world with partner Lewis Devine, took to social media to share a photo of the family alongside her daughter Sienna, who she shares with ex husband Alan.

Lucy-Jo said: "I had literally just given birth to Carter when he posted that so I didn’t see it and my head was elsewhere. He quickly deleted it so he must have regretted it.
"I didn’t bother bringing it up with him. Lew and I were both too focused on Carter so it just didn’t get our attention.
Lewis said: "We didn’t actually have a fall out about it – that was just press speculation."
Lucy-Jo continued to add: "No, but the thing is, everybody who has a blended family knows it’s not easy. You can’t pretend that it is. And me and Alan sometimes have different views on raising Sienna so trying to co-parent can be challenging. It’s probably like that for a lot of blended families.
"But Lewis and I try to keep things like that very private. Sienna isn’t aware of what happened and all that matters is that she has loving parents on both sides."
