She wrote on her story: ‘Monday was tough, boiler went off, gate broken and as grateful as I am I have a beautiful home sometimes with a move the never ending lists can seem overwhelming.
‘Yesterday was worse, I ended up in A&E with Loretta, she hit her head while climbing. I still want to cry when I think about it. Thankfully there were no stitches but he had to clean and stitch up the wound.
‘Last night, I stayed with my parents and left early this morning as I am having a minor operation between my eyes and nose today.
‘I really shouldn’t be as concerned as I am but I think everything is amplified at the moment. Sorry to offload, but I just wanted to point out that this is why you might notice a small scar on my face for a while.
‘Anyway, they say bad luck comes in threes so hopefully, this is the last worry of the week.’
Loretta is Lydia’s only child and she shares with ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin.
Lydia has been single since the end of 2020 of her relationship with Lee.

In the clip, Lydia cries as she lovingly holds her daughter for the first time, while her mother Debbie says: ‘Congratulations!’
She captioned the post: ‘Three years ago, you were born and so was I. You made me strong, you filled my world with so many colors, you made me complete.
‘I will love you till my heart stops beating. Happy birthday Loretta Rose.
Family is extremely important to Lydia, and she recently vowed to use a ‘sperm donor’ to achieve her ‘number one goal’ of a large family.
Lydia said she dreams of having four children and dreams of having the same “hectic and chaotic household” – with three biological siblings, two adopted siblings and several foster brothers and sisters.
Lydia insists she hopes to meet Mr Wright in the next five years, she is happy to give her daughter Loretta, two, siblings ‘the non-traditional way of adoption or the sperm donor route’.
The single mum isn’t focusing on dating as she said ‘it’s not the answer’ to having more children.
Speaking in an interview with Closer magazine, Lydia said: ‘I really want more kids, maybe three, whether she meets someone or does it myself.
‘If it got to a point where love didn’t happen, I would consider a non-traditional way like adoption or the sperm donor route.
‘The number one goal for me is to have more kids. I come from such a big family… I want a home like my parents. I love busyness and chaos!’
It comes as she has recently spoken out about the cost of living crisis and how children in care may be turning away ‘families willing to follow up’.
She stated that she would not be ‘the person I am today’ if she had not spent her childhood as part of a foster family; Their mother, Debbie, has spent the past 30 years fostering more than 200 children.
