AMY Childs has opened up and revealed the shocking real reason for her huge weight loss, after concerned fans reached out amid her wedding heartbreak.
Towie legend Amy, 34, has pushed back her plans to get married due to "last minute changes", it was revealed this week.
Over the last few months, the reality star's shrinking frame has caused some concern amongst fans.
In a bid to put rumours of "fat jabs" to bed, Amy has finally opened up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone.
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."
However, she did add: "I did try the jab, but just once about 18 months ago.
“It made me so, so ill. I injected myself and literally a few hours later I threw up three, four times. I’ve never had sickness like it. The nausea stayed with me for three days.
"And it scared me so I stopped immediately.
"It doesn’t agree with everybody and it obviously didn’t agree with me at all.”

WEDDING 'CANCELLED'
This week it was revealed Amy had "cancelled" her wedding to fiance Billy.
The ITVBe personality 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, 42, who she first met in 2000.
She referred to him as her "Prince Charming" after they set eyes on each other during lockdown.
In 2023, the pair welcomed twins, Amelia and Billy, into the world after a "long and exhausting" labour - yet their marriage plans have taken a back seat.
LONG ENGAGEMENT
In April, Amy admitted they didn't have an exact date in the diary for their nuptials.
She said: "In my head we will have an end of summer wedding, but I have nothing planned yet!
"This is the worrying thing - I still don't know if it will be this year.
"But there's still time to make it work."
She teased there was trouble in store and told Closer Magazine how the pair might run out of time to plan a 2025 ceremony.
Amy added to the publication: "It's so much pressure.
"I don't want to be stressed. It's my big day.
"I want everything to be perfect, and at the minute we don't know what is going on."
