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.

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.

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.'

Sitting on a stage, wearing matching 'born for more' T-shirts, Matilda revealed she had been suffering with 'social anxiety', which was affecting her life before she 'put her trust in Jesus'. She said: 'When everything felt stuck or hopeless God showed up, a few years ago I had social anxiety which affected my relationships with friends and family, my job and affected the way I lived in general. 'I had to stop relying on myself and put my trust in Jesus and that's when everything changed because of him I wake up each day feeling more positive, confident, rounded and more grateful and more hopeful. 'The more challenges I face I know God is a constant. Here today to tell him I will follow him wholeheartedly'. The Love Islander, 25, and the TOWIE star, 23, who have been dating since December last year, shared a video from the religious ceremony where they were joined by their closest friends and family Following her speech, Matilda kissed Roman before a second clip showed the pair standing in a bath of water being baptised individually. Following the baptism, the pair looked happier than ever as they hugged celebrating their religion. She penned: 'The most special day of my life & a moment we'll cherish forever. Getting baptized together, surrounded by both of our families felt like the most beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness. 'So thankful to be walking in faith and love with my best friend by my side. Can't wait for this journey taking my next step on my walk with Christ ✨ Glory to God always!! 'Philippians 4:7 'And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.'' It comes after the couple confirmed their relationship by going Instagram official in December last year. Matilda turned heads in a glamorous red mini dress at Oh Polly's Christmas party, which she attended with Roman. They looked more than loved-up as they made their first public outing together. Following her speech, Matilda kissed Roman before a second clip showed the pair standing in a bath of water being baptised individually Showering his new flame with love, Matilda also shared snaps of a bouquet of flowers and a personalised card with photos of them that he gifted her.

He shared a picture of him getting close to a girl wearing the same trousers and black leather jacket.

'We are still good friends & I'm so grateful to have shared such an incredible experience with him.' 'We appreciate all of your support throughout our time together and all the love you have shown us. love you all [pink heart emoji].' Quickly after Matilda posted a statement, Sean shared the same message but added: 'We both believe this is the best step for us moving forward.'

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim
Kevin Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted a young actor at a party at The Savoy hotel and then told him 'Don't worry about it', court documents for the High Court legal claim suggest. Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production.

What do Grafties winners get? All the couples sit at individual tables in the garden as the winners are announced to the villa. Each victor will get their own trophy and a chance to make a speech, either to laugh, cringe, or apologise. Despite what could be a great moment in the villa, the contestants are forced to confront potential feelings and deal with unresolved issues. We all remember when the drama exploded in the villa when Messy Mitch was forced to accept the award for 'Mad Moves'. Who decides the winner?
