LYDIA Bright has given her lush Essex pad its second makeover this year, this time with a festive theme.

Reality favourite Lydia, 30, starred in The Only Way is Essex for seven years and invested all of her wages on properties around Essex.

She shares her home with her 10-month-old daughter Loretta and spared no expense decorating the house for her bub's first Christmas.

The cream front door with stained windows is decorated with a huge snow white wreath complete with red baubles - some which read Merry Christmas-, a toy truck, red flowers and berries.

In the centre of the wreath is a wooden red love-heart with reindeer shapes carved into it.

As soon as you enter the home, you're greeted with a giant - and very cute - balloon installation complete with an inflatable ginger bread man, Santa Claus and candy cane.

Red and gold balloons complete the huge piece which sits alongside her dining table.

Her huge Christmas tree is positioned on the other side of the table, which Lydia has decorated with tasteful gold and red decorations.

Lydia also hung up two golden bauble balloons in her kitchen which Loretta stared at in wonder in a video her mum posted to Instagram.

In Lydia's living room which is normally decorated with neutral furnishings and fresh flowers, has been transformed into Yuletide wonderland.

The relaxing space, which features a cream textured rug, huge sofa and fluffy pillows, is the ideal space for Lydia to unwind with pals.

A massive balloon arch sits across the wall behind the couch and features red love hearts, candy canes, snow flakes and a couple of Santa Claus.

A huge Rudolph the Reindeer head sits in the middle of the arch giving it an adorable finish.

Lydia finished the renovations on her new home, which is kitted out with stunning bathroom, original fireplace and all white interior.

Her chic all-white bathroom features a huge bath tub, chic marble flooring and mirrored tiles on the walls.

She has added a feminine touch to the restroom with some beautiful flowers placed on top of her traditional bath room sink.

Lydia's stunning airy bedroom, which was once an empty loft area, has been completely transformed into a blissful haven with the help of white bedsheets and soft furnishings.

The room also features an overhead window, making it the perfect spot for Lydia to look up at the stars.

Elsewhere in the house, Lydia's en-suite bathroom boasts both modern and traditional elements.

The new shower system is the central focus in the room, while the black and white tiles and silver fittings give it a classic feel.

The star, who appeared on reality TV show Towie on and off from 2010 until 2017, announced her pregnancy in August while confirming her split from car garage owner Cronin, whom she had dated for two years.

However, she said that now things are good between the pair, and there is a chance they could be a family.

She said: “We’re getting on really well. Loretta was planned – this was always something we were going to do. So we decided to build up a relationship again.

“I didn’t want to be angry anymore – what’s happened has happened, I’m not going to hold a grudge.”

“Now we’re in a good place and I do love him, of course I do,” she said.
