Lydia’s candid post comes days after she was attacked by a mum-shamer for drinking wine while looking after Loretta.
She had initially posed with a bottle of wine in hand and written: ‘Yes to the weekend’.
But it seems it had all been a little much for Lydia after not drinking while she was pregnant and she admitted to being hungover the next morning.
Sharing a picture of herself in bed with her hand clasped to her face, she wrote: ‘I didn’t put covers on my bed last night.

‘I’m drinking Coke at 5am. Don’t judge.’
Yet it seems as though people did judge and one person wrote: ‘You shouldn’t be drinking while looking after your baby. That’s abuse, you know.
‘Hungover? Wise to be getting drunk is it?’
Lydia had clapped back? ‘After a year of no alcohol, due to being pregnant, I had my first glass of wine this week.

‘Last night I had a couple of glasses. I wasn’t drunk, falling over and Loretta was in bed. I have a small hangover, which is already lifting because clearly my body isn’t used to alcohol after such a long time. Give a girl a break!’
Lydia welcomed Loretta in February – her first daughter with ex- boyfriend Lee Cronin.
She only had a few weeks of freedom with her little one before the nationwide lockdown was imposed due to the coronavirus.
