She has been isolating at her family home.
Yet Lydia Bright has revealed she has had to cut short time with her mum and dad, as she and her daughter Loretta, two months, have relocated to her own home.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the former TOWIE star revealed her parents, who have been fostering for 30 years, had just taken in two new foster children so there was no room for the duo, before she shared a video of their first morning alone.
Hometime! Lydia Bright has revealed she has had to cut short time with her mum and dad, as she and her daughter Loretta, two months, have relocated to her own home
Lydia welcomed Loretta with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin in February and when lockdown was instated amid the coronvirus pandemic, she relocated from her own home to her mum and dad’s Brentwood pad.
Having decorated her home during her pregnancy to prepare for Loretta’s arrival, she revealed on Thursday that she is now on her way back.
Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote: ‘Yesterday two new members joined our foster family. They are absolutely adorable and I’m so excited for Loretta to have playmates when she visits nanny and granddad’s…
‘However it does mean there is no more room at the inn. So me and Loretta have finally moved home to our house. Going to miss being with my family all day, every day but I am going to walk past the house daily for chats through the window.’
Sweet: Lydia is famously close to her family – sisters Georgia and Roma, mum Debbie, dad Dave and brother Freddie – along with the many foster children in their lives

Lydia then wrote: ‘Here is how we coped. Day one of isolation just mummy and Loretta’, before sharing a timelapse video of their first day together.
In the video she showed the ins and outs of her morning, including changing Loretta’s nappy, baby sensory time, making breakfast and eating biscuits.
In 2018, Debbie confessed she adores the chaos of life as a carer, while also juggling her own four children, yet admitted the devastation of giving up babies she has looked after since they were just days old.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the reality favourite candidly discussed her life as a foster parent and the highs and lows of the tough yet rewarding job.
Debbie burst on to TV screens nearly eight years ago in a supporting role on The Only Way Is Essex in support of her reality star daughter Lydia, before garnering huge praise from fans as one of the loving mums of the show.
While she has kept her fostering off screens, Debbie has always spoken with passion about the work yet admits there are difficulties with the job.

She told MailOnline: ‘The hardest thing is when you have to give up babies, when you take a baby from a week old, a year or 18 months have to move on, that’s heartbreaking. You have to remember you are just part of their journey…
‘Some of the behaviours are so difficult to deal with. It’s much harder to unlearn behaviours than to learn them. If you don’t get a child until they’re 10, sometimes you can break through but sometimes you can’t…
‘You know that child is going to have a difficult life, but they have to go through that journey to become that person they’ll become in later life’.
Cheeky! She rewarded herself with some chocolate biscuits
