How many kids does Lucy have?

Lucy is a mum to three daughters.

Eldest daughter Lola was born in 2005 and her twins, Missy and Betsy, were born in 2017.

That was a bit weird and inappropriate.

The producer revealed: “Cain and Chas is our most loved sibling pairing also have a lot going on as Faith’s secret from the big week will impact on them.

“We’re actually just about to start filming a really special episode that honestly made me cry just reading the script.

“It explores more of a rich history and how their upbringing hugely affects the decisions they make in the present.

“Beyond this we will certainly se that not all those decisions are good ones.”
