Amy Childs displays her extreme weight loss in a lace minidress as she films TOWIE with fiancé Billy Delbosq after 'calling off their wedding'
Amy Childs displayed her extreme weight loss in a black lace minidress as she filmed TOWIE with fiancé Billy Delbosq at the Brentwood Padel Club on Monday. The reality star, 35, looked in good spirits as she spent time with her fiancé after reportedly calling off their wedding to focus on her personal life. Amy made sure to turn heads at the Padel court as she arrived in the glamorous lace short sleeved number which she teamed with a green clutch. The TV personality, who previously revealed she'd been going through a tough time causing her extreme weight loss, put on a leggy display in a pair of towering suede heels and accessorised with black sunglasses. The couple looked in good spirits as they cosied up for photos before Billy, who was dressed in all white, took to the court to play with their co-stars. The TOWIE stars were also joined by former co-star James Argent as they showed their support towards him after his ex Nicoline Arthursson broke her silence following his suspended jail sentence. Arg, 37, was recently handed a suspended sentence and ordered to attend a domestic violence course after pleading guilty to 'mistreatment' for pushing Nicoline down steps at their home in Spain. But despite Nicoline's powerful statement addressing the incident last month, James seemed unfazed as he enjoyed a game of Padel with the TOWIE boys. Billy and Arg went up against fellow co-stars Dan Edgar, Diags, Roman Hackett and Sammy Root and Jordan Brook while filming the reality show. Meanwhile Sophie Kasaei cut a trendy figure in a jeweled denim crop top and matching shorts as she joined Amy on the side lines supporting her boyfriend Jordan. However, Sophie soon kicked off her white heels and picked up a Padel to have a go at the game too. Meanwhile the other TOWIE girls, Amber Turner and Chloe Meadows dressed to impress as they headed for lunch in Loughton. Amber showed off her incredible figure in a black and pink halterneck number which she paired with a beige Chanel handbag and matching sandals. Meanwhile Chloe flashed her midriff in a black and white striped strapless crop top and matching trousers as she picked up a matcha ahead of the meal.

It comes after Amy was said to be 'gutted' after reportedly calling off the couple's impending nuptials following a difficult few months. According to Closer magazine, Amy pushed back plans to walk down the aisle with Billy due to 'last minute changes', following previous claims her 'perfect' day was under threat. 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.' Amy and Billy welcomed three-year-old twins Milly and Billy, in April 2022, while she is also mum to daughter Polly, eight, with builder Bradley Wright, and Ritchie, five, with her ex of the same name. And last month, the mother-of-four also explained that she'd been going through a stressful period with her mother's ill health, as she revealed the real reason for her recent weight loss. She had previously sparked concern from fans with her new slimmed-down appearance after dropping an incredible two stone. But last month, she addressed the weight loss and resulting cruel trolling in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine, saying: '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.' However, Sophie soon kicked off her white heels and picked up a Padel to have a go at the game too Meanwhile the other TOWIE girls, Amber Turner (L) and Chloe Meadows (R) dressed to impress as they headed for lunch in Loughton Meanwhile Chloe flashed her midriff in a black and white striped strapless crop top and matching trousers as she picked up a matcha ahead of the meal Meanwhile Roman Hackett looked focus during the Padel game Love Island's Sammy Root was pictured playing a game He was all smiles as he arrived at the venue '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.' She 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'. Her mother Julie, 59, was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after suffering a heart attack in April Amy took to Instagram at the time to admit her mum's health scare had left her terrified, and that Julie was 'doing OK' but needed rest and was in hospital waiting for a stent to be fitted. A heart attack can lead to a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart, and a stent is a medical device used to open that blockage and restore blood flow.
