Lucy Mecklenburgh admits she sleeps in separate bed to Ryan as she fumes over wedding planning
Lucy Mecklenburgh has spoken about her relationship with Ryan Thomas, including revealing their sleeping arrangements at home and an update on them planning their wedding Former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh has revealed that she is sleeping in a separate bed to fiancé Ryan Thomas, branding him a "nightmare". She has also spoken out about the real reason her wedding planning has stalled and admitted the situation had been "quite hard". Lucy, 33, and former Coronation Street cast member Ryan, 41, who have been in a relationship since 2017, now live in Manchester with their two children. The couple, who got engaged two years after they began dating, gave an insight into their relationship whilst on a podcast together recently. Ryan's fiancée was a guest on the latest episode of the At Homes with the Thomas Bro's podcast, which was released earlier today. Lucy spoke to Ryan and his twin brothers Scott Thomas and Adam Thomas, both 37, who co-host it. Asked about their sleeping arrangements at one point, Lucy said on the podcast: "Basically we sleep in separate bedrooms because Ryan is a nightmare sleeper." She went on to say that her fiancé snores and talks in his sleep. Scott teased: "He always wants a cuddle." Lucy responded: "I mean, that is annoying." Sharing her reasons for sleeping separatedly from her partner, she then shared: "Basically, Ryan snores, he sleep talks, he whacks me in his sleep." She added: "Just to get a good night sleep and that's just become normal now." Lucy later shared that she isn't always alone though, with her saying that she sometimes has the couple's five-year-old son in the bed with her. Earlier on the podcast, Lucy said that she considers the couple's sleeping arrangements to be "normal". Speaking about sleeping separately from her partner, she said: "I've spoken to other people and it's pretty normal in their house [too]." Later sharing his thoughts though, her brother-in-law Adam, who's been married to his wife Caroline Thomas for eight years, said: "I couldn't imagine not sleeping in the same bed as Caz. Like, I go to bed holding her hand sometimes." Elsewhere on the podcast, Lucy was also asked about her wedding plans after getting engaged to Ryan in 2019 whilst on holiday in Italy together. She that they "do talk about" getting married but that plans got "pushed aside" once she realised that she was pregnant with their eldest child. Lucy said: "Now we've got kids, it's valuing that money for other things more than a day. [...] I would love it but then, I don't know, I find it quite hard." Reflecting on their relationship, she said: "Well fell pregnant the night we got engaged." The reality TV star continued on the podcast: "I was planning the wedding from then." Lucy recalled looking at venues and dresses for the special occasion shortly after getting engaged to Ryan six years ago. She however said that it only last 10 days as she then halted her planning once she discovered she was pregnant. She shared that she had suspected she was pregnant on flight home from Italy, where they got engaged, after feeling nauseous. She said: "That was it. So then my dream ... planning my wedding lasted 10 days and then I knew that once I had a child it wouldn't mean as much as I was really upset about it. I kind of just knew that everything would revolve around the kids after that and that's kind of what happened."

26 At Home stores are closing in bankruptcy. What about Florida?
Warehouse home goods retailer At Homes is closing 26 "underperforming" stores as it joins the ranks of retailers filing bankruptcy to restructure. Texas-based At Home filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, June 16, as a result of "broader economic and retail-specific market pressures," court documents reveal. As a result, 26 stores, from California to New York, will close by Sept. 30. One of them is in Florida. The bankruptcy filing and store closures come after several other big box retailers have done the same this year, including Big Lots, Joann Fabrics, Kohl's, JCPenney, Macy's and Party City (although Big Lots is making a comeback). How will this impact you? Here's what to know. Court documents list the following locations to be closed in 2025: CALIFORNIA Chico: 1982 E. 20th St. Costa Mesa: 2200 Harbor Blvd. Foothill Ranch: 26532 Towne Center Drive Suites A-B Long Beach: 2900 N.

Mayfair Road The company is also closing six "non-operational" locations in Redding, California; St. Paul, Minnesota, Clackamas and Salem, Oregon; and Everett and Lacey, Washington. According to court documents, At Home will close its 26 initial stores by Sept. 30, 2025. "There are no changes to return policies, Insider Perks program, or gift cards, online and at all continuing stores," then company said on its restructuring webpage. Business is expected to continue as normal for customers, employees and vendors for the remaining stores. Court documents state that rising interest rates, "persistent inflation" and a growing concern over unsustainable customs costs resulting from increased tariffs, led At Home to file for bankruptcy. At Home has already closed six stores over the past year. "Given the expenses associated with brick-and-mortar operation and the issues affecting the retail industry, a number of the (At Home) remaining stores are operating at sub-optimal performance levels," court documents reveal. As part of the bankruptcy filing, ownership of At Home will be transferred to a group of hedge funds and investment firms based in New York City, New York and San Francisco, California, as outlined in a news release. The planned restructuring is expected to "eliminate substantially all of the Company's nearly $2 billion in funded debt" and provide a capital infusion of $200 million to get through the restructuring process. At Home currently lists 12 locations in Florida, not including the Miami location set to close.
