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.

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.'
