Corrie’s Lucy Jo-Hudson pictured at car boot sale selling off belongings for wedding fund – and reveals she made £305
CORONATION Street’s Lucy Jo-Hudson sold belongings at a car boot sale for her wedding fund – and made an impressive £305.
Back in April the actress, 43, revealed that she got engaged to her partner of eight years Lewis Devine as she showed off her diamond ring.
The couple, who met while working together on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, have been busy saving for their big day.
Lucy took to Instagram to share that they headed to a car boot sale in a bid to make some extra cash.
She shared some snaps from her day, including one of her smiling in front of all her unwanted items, as well as all the money she made out on the floor.
Lucy captioned the post: “Welcome to Wedding Wednesday.
“Last Sunday I went back to my childhood and did a car boot sale, and made £305, that’s now going towards our wedding fund…
“Ahhh it was actually so much fun… I sold so many random things, from old shoes, to baskets, to lamps, to bags, to plant pots…. that have literally just been sat in our garage, cluttering up space, for far too long.
“I nearly didn’t make it, as I set my alarm for 4.30am and it never went off and I woke up at 6.30am panicking that I’d missed my slot, but I flew in my car got there for 6.45am and managed to get myself set up… in the dark.
“Before I’d even got everything unpacked, I had people in my boot wanting to buy things, then my boys and our lovely neighbour Daphne turned up about 7.30am, god love them, to help me.
“Daphne even brought coffee and biscuits for us all, which I was buzzing about because I didn’t have time to make my own before I left that morning, being in such a panic
“We stayed until 1pm, sold pretty much everything and came home with £305!! Absolutely buzzing.
“Wedding planning is exciting, but let’s be honest it can get expensive VERY quickly. So i’m all for finding little ways to save money.
I’ve got bags full of clothes, so I’ll be back again to get them sold…. And I may do a Christmas one too…
“Ahhh I love a car boot sale (sadly so does @lewisdevineofficial, he kept going off and buying while I was trying to sell it he is not coming again!).”
Lucy, who played Katy Harris in Corrie, and Lewis share a son called Carter, who she gave birth to in 2020.
She is also mum to Sienna-Rae from her previous relationship with Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall.
The former couple were married between 2009 and 2018.
