The former star recently revealed what her scars look like after undergoing laparoscopy surgery for endometriosis in November.
She shared a video in a black bikini as she discussed the procedure and pointed out the faint scarring she has been left with.
Filming in a mirror, Lucy explained: 'For people asking about my laparoscopy surgery for endometriosis, my recovery and my scar - I thought I'd show you.

She revealed how her symptoms of 'fatigue, bloating, constipation and back pain' didn't feel as severe as other sufferers who are 'living with these awful, crippling period pains and fertility issues.'
But the star, who has two children with her fiancé Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, 41, admitted she had recently felt, 'I've had enough. It felt like time to do something for me.'
'I eat well, I exercise, I've tried to make changes to my lifestyle and yes it helps when I don't eat processed food,' she added.
'When I look after myself my symptoms are better and I have a slight relief but I'm at the point where I can't physically live like that every single moment of every day.'
Lucy received her endometriosis diagnosis in early 2024, revealing that her symptoms had 'really .
