Amy Childs steps out in plunging yellow dress during TOWIE filming in Portugal after she spoke out about her extreme weight loss
After flying to Portugal to film the upcoming series, which marks the 15 anniversary of the show, the reality star, 34, soaked up the sun as she posed in the very plunging dress.
Completing the look with a pair of dark shades and nude strappy sandals, Amy appeared in good spirits as she posed with her TOWIE pals Harry Derbidge and Lauren Goodger.
Amy later slipped into a racy brown cut out swimsuit and mesh green cover up as she prepared to enjoy some sunbathing by the pool.
The star has sparked concern in recent months with her new slimmed-down appearance after dropping an incredible two stone.

And last month she revealed the real reason behind her extreme weight loss after calling off her wedding to her fiancé Billy Delbosq.
Addressing the weight loss and cruel trolling she's received as a result of the weight loss in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine she said: 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me.
'I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack.'
'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. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.'
Amy added: 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.'
Amy also explained how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her 'so ill she threw up three or four times'.
However the star appeared in good spirits as she commenced filming and enjoyed lunch with the cast and her daughter Milly.
TOWIE - which is one of ITVX's most streamed titles with 66million streams in the last 12 months - is back with the brand new series airing on ITV2 and ITVX later this year.

Lauren Goodger also joined Amy as she opted for a summery red and orange beach dress and shades.
Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed put on a very loved-up display as they shared a passionate smooch in snaps.
Junaid made sure to catch eyes in a red and white checked polo shirt and matching shorts as he blew a kiss at the camera.
Meanwhile Elma Pazar wowed in a figure hugging shimmery maxi dress adorned with embroidered seashells and starfish.
She was joined by her boyfriend Sammy Root after the pair met in January on the second series of Love Island: All Stars.
Amy also recently called off her wedding to her fiancé Billy after a stressful period dealing with her mother's ill health and her own extreme weight loss.
The reality star, who is said to be 'gutted' over the decision, has reportedly decided to cancel their impending nuptials to focus on her personal life.

Saffron Lempriere looked stylish in a funky summer patterned short and shirt co-ord which she wore over a plunging blue swimsuit
Jordan kept it cool and casual in a white linen shirt, green shorts and sandals
Freddie Bentley opted for a bold black and white print shirt which he paired with some tiny black shorts and flip flops
It was previously claimed that Amy's 'perfect' day was under threat and it has now been reported by Closer magazine that the day is totally off for now.
According to the publication, the plans have been pushed back due to 'last minute changes', after she first delayed the wedding in 2023.
An insider said: 'Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted. There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day..
'But they've had to make some last-minute changes based on what's going on in their lives.'

Victoria Beckham sends olive branch to son Brooklyn as Sir Elton John intervenes to fix family feud
VICTORIA Beckham has sent an olive branch to son Brooklyn amid the family's bitter feud. The rift between Brooklyn, his American actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and the Beckhams has seemingly widened over the past few months. 5 But matriarch Victoria, 51, has liked Brooklyn's latest Instagram reel showing him rustling up pasta in the kitchen, suggesting tensions could be thawing. In the video, budding chef Brooklyn, 26, rustles up tomato pasta on a yacht, using a pan of seawater to cook his spaghetti. It follows an intervention from Sir Elton John, who is Brooklyn's godfather and also close pals with David, 50, and Victoria. The legendary singer, 78, has publicly praised Brooklyn and Nicola on social media while the feud has been making headlines, and he has even hung out with them in Cannes. The couple were seen with Elton's husband, David Furnish, at the La Guerite, with other guests including music producer Andrew Watt who worked with Elton on his latest album. We revealed Elton 'briefly' touched on the family feud before sticking to more neutral territory. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' said a source. 'He's utterly neutral in this row. 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. 'He just wants everyone to be happy. There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. "He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short — and to patch things up. 'They had a really fun long lunch in the South of France, where Elton and David have a beautiful villa, and besides a very brief chat on the subject that dare rear its name, they discussed loads of other, much more lighthearted matters. "Elton has said his bit - he is adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in and p*** off either party. He just wants peace.' Perhaps Victoria is making moves to smooth relations ahead of the October release of her Netflix documentary. It is understood she will not touch on the feud - although she has promised there will be 'tears' in the four-parter. Nicola and Brooklyn will not be in it — but that is because no scenes were filmed with them. A source added: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. 5 5 5 "This is very much a project focusing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer.' Younger Beckham boys Cruz and Romeo were recently accused of turning their backs on Brooklyn for good, sending the family deeper into crisis. It came after fans spotted the siblings had blocked their elder brother on social media. A source said: 'Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three. It's a sad new low. 'But the truth is, Brooklyn has cut out his parents David and Victoria from his life and it's the same with Romeo and Cruz. "Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored. 'He's not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn't want to make amends.' The feud, which The Sun understands started over money, has been bubbling for several months. The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.

Marketing pro reveals ‘decoy' trick cinemas use to make you spend more – it's the same with restaurant wine & phones
DO you find going to the cinema an expensive time out as you always spend more than you had intended? A marketing expert has revealed the clever psychological 'decoy' trick brands do to make you part with more cash, and it explains why you want the large popcorn. 3 They shared how cinemas often offer three sizes of popcorn - small, medium and large - but offer strategic pricing. They shared how if a small popcorn is $3.50, a medium is $6 and a large is $6.50, you are likely to go for a large. They explained on the @curatedtips account: 'Most people go for a large. Why pay $6 when $6.50 gets you more? 'But here's the trick, medium isn't meant to be picked. 'It's a decoy. Its only job? Make the large look like a no-brainer. 'You think you are choosing freely, but your choice was framed.' They added that this trick isn't just used in the cinema, and claimed restaurants do it too with wine. They also said that you can see it with phone deals too, where companies sometimes upsell you on a pricey phone as it seems like a better deal than the 'middle' one. The marketing expert added: 'It's not about value. It's about contrast. 'We choose what feels smart next to the dumb one.' What you see first in this mind-bending optical illusion reveals if you are an optimist or a pessimist They added that nobody wants to select the decoy, but it is there to 'push' you to spend more. SOCIAL REACTION Over 106,000 people liked the video and were quick to give their views in the comments. One said: "I will admit i have fallen for this trick many times.' A second added: 'I mean I totally believe this is true, but I honestly picked the medium popcorn for the amount it had.' 3 3 And one commented: 'I'm sneaking my snacks in lol.' Meanwhile, one person chimed in: 'I worked at a theater, and sometimes a family would come in and order 4 Small popcorns. 'I'd tell them to just get a Large because it comes with a free refill. Then just divide it in boxes. 'I'm not a good business man, but I do like to help people.' Five secret branding messages you may have missed LOTS of brands have secret messages on their logos - so which ones have you spotted? Amazon Most people either have Amazon Prime and/or regularly order from the site, so are used to seeing the logo. But have you ever noticed the little arrow underneath the word Amazon? It starts at the 'A' and finishes at the 'Z' - showing that they sell everything from A to Z! Toblerone It caused a stir a few years ago when people realised the Toblerone logo - which they'd thought was a mountain - is actually the image of a bear. The reason for this is that a bear is the official symbol of the Swiss town of Bern, the original home of Toblerone. Ray-Ban The brand is arguably one of the most famous sunglasses companies in the world. But have you ever spotted the sunglasses image in the logo? If you look carefully at the letter 'B' in Ray-Ban and tilt your head to the side, you will see it looks like a pair of sunnies. Hyundai You'd be forgiven for thinking the 'H' logo for Hyundai is just meant to be a jazzy letter. In fact, if you look again, you might see that the vertical lines of the H are actually meant to show two people shaking hands - a salesperson and a satisfied customer. Apple Again, one of the most familiar logos in the world. But why does Apple's apple logo have a bite taken out of it? Apparently, it's down to the fact that when the logo is made smaller, they didn't want it to look like a cherry. So having the bite taken out of it means it is always identifiable as an apple.

Ozzy Osbourne's immense net worth revealed as Black Sabbath star dies
OZZY Osbourne died "surrounded by family" at home with his wife Sharon after a battle with Parkinson's. Since shooting to fame as part of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne built a staggering career in the entertainment industry spanning almost 60 years. 5 The Prince of Darkness said goodbye to his adoring fans in early July 2025 at a farewell gig in Aston Villa Park, marking the final time he was seen performing. Throughout his career, Ozzy has never shied away from the out of the ordinary, performing insane tours and becoming synonymous with biting the head of a bat. Across his six-decade career, The Prince of Darkness cemented himself as a worldwide rock legend. What was his net worth? At the time of his death, Ozzy Osbourne's net worth stood at $220 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. 5 This was a combined net worth with his wife, Sharon Osbourne. Sharon was an integral part of Ozzy's success, having managed his career for multiple decades and together they built an empire. As a consequence, Sharon established herself as a mogul in the music industry, appearing as a judge on the X Factor and, most recently, a visit to the Celebrity Big Brother House, only furthering their combined net worth. 5 As a result of his long-running career in the industry, Ozzy's success has also afforded his family opportunities in the industry. Ozzy had six children; two, Kelly and Jack, appeared on the now iconic reality TV Show The Osbournes along with their parents. The show became an overnight success and became MTV's most-watched show ever. Wife Sharon and children, Jack and Kelly, were all thrown into the spotlight. As a result, Kelly and Jack have both carved out careers in the entertainment industry and have been able to amass a huge financial portfolio. What was Ozzy's early life like? Born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, the star dropped out of school aged 15 then took up a number of roles as a labourer, plumber - and even an abattoir worker. But Ozzy became entangled with petty crime and served two months in prison for burglary. 5 The singer then pursued his love of music after hearing The Beatles hit She Loves You in 1963. Ozzy joined Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler to form their first band, Rare Breed in 1967. How did Ozzy accumulate his wealth? It wasn't long before the band gained international stardom. In 1970, the group gained a cult following in both the US and UK after releasing their eponymous first album. While he had a long career as the Prince of Darkness and Black Sabbath frontman, he also enjoyed a career as a solo artist, with his seminal first album Blizzard of Ozz, released in 1980, becoming a multi-platinum success, due to his hit Crazy Train. 5 In 1992 Ozzy announced his retirement. However, after a seven-year hiatus, he later returned to Black Sabbath and, only one year later, released the Grammy award-winning song Iron Man.
