In one cheeky video, Amy filmed her fiance Billy Delbosq, 42, splashing around in the water shirtless, revealing his heavily-tattooed physique.
Captioning the clip, Amy joked: 'And he is in @billydelbosq8,' adding a laughing emoji.
Taking to her grid, she also shared a sizzling swimsuit snap from her recent getaway to Portugal.
The TV personality wrote: "Wish I was back round the beach club drinking cocktails in the sun, currently on the nursery run, next holiday pending with the family @billydelbosq8 where shall we go ??
"Swimwear @milkandhoneyswim. Hat @madelyndesigns_."
Amy recently sparked concern after revealing her latest home renovation plans.
It came off the back of a tough week for the star, who revealed her wedding to fiance Billy had been cancelled - and the reason why.
Mum of four Amy has also been fighting the comments on body-shamers and confessed the real reason she has lost so much weight.
Yet now she was bombarded with comments from Instagram followers fearing for her security.
Amy has posted a video of her outdoor swimming pool being created in the grounds of her stunning Essex home.
Billy and her eldest daughter Polly, eight, could be seen carefully clambering down the concrete levels as they explored the space, which is yet to be filled with water.
In her caption, the ITVBe star wrote: "Moments like this is everything.
"We are counting down the days. Thank you for making our dream turn into a reality."
Yet some were more concerned about the apparent depth of the pool - and this posing a threat for her offspring.
One took to the comments to bluntly write: "No need be so deep with 3 kids."
A second put: "Please get security around it like a gated area etc x"
A third quizzed: "That pool looks so deep? It's taller then Billy, why so deep? Will be lovely for you all in summer months, asl ong as you are happy, is what matters."
Another then wrote: "I wouldn't have a pool with young kids."
Yet others were quick to share in her happiness, and one wrote: "Living the absolute dream."
A second posted: "Going to be amazing Amy."
WEDDING WOE
Amy pushed back her plans to get married due to "last minute changes", it was revealed this month.
She is said to have been left "gutted" at the recent turn of events.
Sources told Closer Magazine: "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."
The news came just weeks after The Sun previously reported how her "perfect" wedding plans were under threat.
Amy shares two of her four children with Billy, who she first met in 2000.

HUGE CONCERN

Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "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.
'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."
Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections."
