Lucy split with fellow TOWIE cast mate Mario Falcone last year and exited the hit reality show at the end of series 10.
The new series kicked off with Mario turning on the charm with new girl Grace.
Showing no hint of jealousy, Lucy diplomatically said: ‘She’s hilarious and I have no doubt she’ll cause a bit of a stir.’
Lucy added: ‘She’s quite forward and doesn’t mince her words!’
The fitness fanatic also spoke out about her rift with old friend Ferne McCann.

Lucy said: ‘Ferne McCann said in an interview that she thinks I might be annoyed that she got a contract with By Caprice, who I used to model for.’
‘But I’m proud that she’s got that job, and besides, I’m working on another high-end lingerie line. I want to put our little disagreement – over the fact she said that I’m “naturally skinny” whereas I know I have to work hard for my body – behind us.’
Lucy has been making an effort to patch things up with her former castmate, telling New! Magazine: ‘I texted her to say things are fine between us and I’ll speak to her when I see her out next.’
Judging by Ferne’s recent man drama we bet she’ll appreciate a friendly text from her old friend.
