Reality star Amy Childs is mum to daughter Polly, 7, who she shares with ex Bradley Wright, son Ritchie, 6, and twins Billy and Millie, 16 months, who she shares with fiancé Billy Delbosq
The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs has sparked concern as she showcased her staggering weight loss.
The 34-year-old took to Instagram to share pictures of her in a swimsuit on her latest family holiday in the Spanish resort of La Caleta, as she explained how she’d shifted the pounds. “Feeling proud,” Amy began, “Nearly 2 stone down and WOW I feel the best I have ever felt since having the twins!!” The reality star is mum to four children – daughter Polly, 7, son Ritchie, 6, and twins Billy and Millie, 16 months – and she admitted it was hard to find motivation to lose weight.
“I really struggled with losing weight after the babies, I was in a complete baby bubble, no energy, and the last thing I wanted to do was “diet” 10 months ago I decided to follow a meal plan @freya.potentiacoaching and train up to 3 times a week with MY PT! as well as taking up reformer Pilates (which I absolutely love) great for toning,” Amy explained. She assured fans that she was still letting her hair down, as she confessed she “very much enjoys weekends with a few glasses of Prosecco… or a bottle.”
Amy encouraged her followers to start their health journey as soon as possible, and assured them that she felt unmotivated and sluggish until she began to focus on her wellbeing. “BUT this is basically a post to say if you was in the same boat as me 9months ago struggling to lose your weight! Then if I can do it you 1000 percent can do it too! It’s not a quick fix and it’s taken me months but I’m starting to feel good in myself again!”
Amy admitted it was a big step for her to share pictures of herself wearing swimwear, and said she had a serious wobble before making the leap. “I never thought I would feel confident uploading pictures of me especially in swimwear still a lot of toning up to do, but I have too remember that I have had 4 children so I should be very proud how far I’ve come,” she shared.
However, some fans were concerned about her staggering weight loss, with one suggesting she had taken her diet “too far”, as another added: “Sorry but doesn’t look great them arms look fragile someone gone overboard.”
“Look beautiful well done you, personally you look a little too thin…but if your happy that’s all that matters,” one fan wrote, as another follower chimed in: “Absolutely well done but don’t lose anymore.” Her famous pals showed their support for Amy in the comments, with former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips writing: “You look sensational, hard work is definitely showing.” Another Love Island alum, Cara de la Hoyde, also praised Amy’s new outlook, while Charlotte Dawson – who herself is no stranger to weight loss – left a string of love heart eye emojis in the comments. The Mirror has approached Amy’s rep for comment.
