LUCY Mecklenburgh was taunted by cruel trolls as she said an emotional goodbye to her home of 11 years. The star shared a video of her packing up her London home after moving to Manchester with Ryan Thomas and their children. But as she packed away her things, Lucy shared that she struggled with the memories of the house, which was her first home after moving away from her parents and first renovation.

Calling the move “one of the most emotional weeks of her life” she told her followers: “I really didn't expect to get so emotional, but I moved out of my home 11 years this week, that's how we spent half term.”. “It was such mixed emotions, because we outgrew this house so long ago,” she continued. “We've made the big move to Manchester, and we're really happy, but there's so many memories I've hung on to in this house.

“I went from being single, it was my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out my parents, I guess, and I bought both my babies back from hospital here.”. Admitting she didn’t think the house was big enough for the family-of-four or had enough storage, Lucy continued: “It is time to go, definitely the right thing.”.

However, after posting the video on Instagram, trolls became critical of Lucy, taking swipes at her comments. One wrote: “Someone’s a bit entitled. Not enough room for 2 kids and 2 adults you could an entire street in that house. What goes through peoples mind when they’re editing this to post??”.

“Will defo be unfollowing after this,” said another. “I understand that she’s sad leaving her home when it has sentimental value with her children etc. But the post isn’t real life, she’s being filmed packing glasses with one hand while holding the baby and stating she is moving because she doesn’t have enough storage while she is packing 3 boxes of handbags with ample storage behind her 🤣🤣 insta at its finest 🙄”.

"House looks massive. Perhaps you have too much unnecessary stuff," said a third. But thankfully people jumped to her defence, with many commenting that the cruel comments were just “jealous” people envious of the home Lucy had created. “What the hell is with all the negative comments? She’s visibly upset on the video and people are still been cruel! Who wouldn’t move to a bigger house if they could afford to! Pure jealousy and bitter people!” said one defender.

“Why do people write mean comments ? Everything is relative . Good luck lovely Lucy x” said a second. "People are so judgmental and mean. Yeah Of course you would go to a bigger place for the family if you could. Also it’s a big thing moving… I was gutted leaving our first family home. The Thomas family are ace," wrote a third.
