A close source told The Sun: “They’re a match made in heaven — or at least in Southampton. They’re mad for each other.” However, this isn’t the only well-known star she’s dated.
The model turned TV personality Lucy also dated Captain America icon Chris Evans. In 2015, the beauty was spotted enjoying a date with the actor at Disneyworld. According to insiders, the pair were “smitten” with one another at the time but things soon fizzled out between them.
After the lads mags era came to a close, Lucy turned her taste to TV and appeared on shows such as The Weakest Link and Celebrity Big Brother. She also turned her talents to the film industry, as she landed a role in the comedy horror Strippers vs Werewolves.
She also ticked off Bollywood on her CV when starring in Waarrior Savitri. To top things off, she also landed a role in the TV movie Sharknado 5: Global Swarming in 2017.
In 2008, Daily Star named the bombshell as the ‘Best Page 3 girl of all time’. Commenting on her triumph at the time, Lucy said: “I can’t believe I won when I was up against so many legends like Linda Lusardi, who’s still gorgeous.“I even beat Michelle Marsh. But I’m not sure how – she’s great.”
As well as becoming a movie star, Lucy’s passion for helping animals has always shone through, as she has been linked to a variety of wildlife charities. This includes TigerTime, the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, International Animal Rescue, and Cats Protection.
