Amy Childs has shared a new picture of herself in a bikini, with followers commenting that she looks unrecognisable following her recent weight loss.
The TOWIE star is currently on holiday with fiancé Billy Delbosq and her four children. “O hey freckles,” she posted.
However, in the comments section, Amy was flooded with concerns over her weight. She recently revealed that she was losing weight for her wedding, which is taking place later this year. It was postponed due to her mother’s ill health last year.
However, despite admitting she’s a “work in progress” and is working on building muscle and gaining “healthy weight”, 35-year-old Amy faced criticism.
Amy Childs ‘unrecognisable’ after weight loss
One said: “Amy, you are so so beautiful but looking too malnourished. My concern is having just started following you from seeing you years ago,” said one. Another added: “Too thin! Too much Botox and fillers!”
A third commented: “It doesn’t look like her. What’s wrong?”
“There wasn’t anything wrong with you before, this is too extreme. Please get some help,” another urged.
However, other followers called out the comments, blasting them as “so rude.”.
ED! contacted Amy’s reps about fans’ concerns. They responded: “No comment.”
What has Amy Childs said about her weight loss?
Posting in January, Amy shared two dramatically different pictures of herself and revealed she has been on a pre-wedding health kick, but has lost more weight than she originally wanted.
She shared that she was being helped on her weight-loss journey, and gave her followers an update.
Amy said: “Can’t believe I’m uploading this picture but here goes. The journey so far. So I have to be honest with you all, I was overweight and unhappy. So I decided to lose weight.
“During that process, I battled with stress and lost a little more than I wanted. Now I am working with Jon [her personal trainer] to start phase 2!!”
She explained that the second phase will see her “increase muscle mass, gain healthy weight and become more toned”. She that she’s a “work in progress” and said: “Got to be honest I am finding this is harder than losing weight!”

‘Pure stress’
Speaking to OK! in May 2025, Amy addressed comments about her weight. She explained that stress due to her mum falling ill had led to her weight loss, and even caused the star to push back her wedding.
She shared: “People don’t know what is going on behind closed doors. I’m going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly.
“People think I’m not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I’m a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There’s so much going on at the minute – it’s the result of pure stress.”

Reality star Amy Childs has built a modern blended family with four gorgeous kids. And like many celebrity mums, her love life has had a few chapters along the way.
These days, Amy is happily engaged to businessman Billy Delbosq, whom she began dating in 2021. The couple welcomed twins – Billy River and Amelia Mae – in 2023, completing their busy household and cementing their future together.
But Amy’s family story started earlier.
How many kids does Amy Childs have?
Amy has four kids, including twins Billy and Amelia.
Her eldest daughter Polly, born in 2017, is from her relationship with builder Bradley Wright, with whom she had an on-off romance before they split shortly after Polly’s birth.
Amy’s second child, son Ritchie, arrived in 2018 with a partner she has kept largely out of the public eye – known only as a businessman also named Ritchie. The pair later separated but remain private about their past relationship.
Nappies, school run and wedding bells
Now a proud mum of four kids, Amy Childs often shares snippets of family life with fiancé Billy, balancing nappies, school runs and wedding plans.
She told OK! recently: “It is full-on. Four kids. Me and Bill went to Tenerife and I took a book with me, then I was like: ‘Really?’ I don’t know why I did that! But I wouldn’t change it for the world. And it does get easier.”
Despite ups and downs in love, the former The Only Way Is Essex favourite has said motherhood is her greatest joy. And her blended brood – who live in her sprawling BIllericay mansion – proves that families come in all shapes and sizes.
With a supportive partner and four little ones keeping her busy, Amy’s Essex fairy tale looks set to continue – complete with twins’ giggles, big-sister cuddles and a long-awaited walk down the aisle.
