Lucy Mecklenburgh celebrated a low-key birthday as her and baby Lilah both fell "poorly" on her special day.

The TOWIE star thanked fans and followers for their birthday wishes on Instagram whilst explaining both Lucy and her daughter were not feeling well.

Lucy turned 31 years old on August 24 and was looked after by her fiance Ryan Thomas, who she thanked on Instagram and labelled him "amazing".

The Essex personality first uploaded a photo with Lilah on the bed next to flowers and presents captioned: "Not exactly how I planned to spend my bday. Me & Lilah are both poorly. Thank you for everyone's birthday messages", with loads of loved up emojis.

The sweet upload was followed by a picture of some birthday balloons that said: "Happy Birthday love Scarlett" and "Happy Birthday mummy love Roman & Lilah x x".

The birthday girl then posted a photo of her and Lilah, with Lucy holding the baby as they recovered together.

The ill duo were snuggled on the bed watching Austin Butler's new film Elvis.

Lucy uploaded a story dedicated to her loving partner Ryan Thomas who had been looking after both of his girls.

She wrote: "Ryan Thomas has been amazing looking after me and Lilah I really hope we feel better tomorrow and Roman doesn't catch it".

The smitten couple share two children together, Roman, two, and baby Lilah who was born in May.

Ryan Thomas also has a child from a previous relationship, Scarlett, 13 who wished Lucy a happy birthday on one of the balloons gifted to her.

On a previous Instagram Q&A Lucy answered some questions about being a mother.

Asked how she juggles having two young children, Lucy said that it can feel like a "military operation," though she assured that her and partner Ryan "work as a team".

Another follower asked if she was done having children Lucy told her 1.7million followers that she is "very likely" not to have any more.

Earlier this month, Lilah was diagnosed with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) which caused bronchiolitis, and had to be rushed to hospital.

Most people will make a full recovery from the respiratory virus, which infects the lungs and breathing passages, although it can be more of a struggle for infants or the elderly.

Thankfully a few days after admission Lucy confirmed that Lilah was home and doing well.
