Amy Childs has hit back at cruel internet trolls who have sent her hurtful comments over her recent weight loss while sharing bikini pictures of herself in Portugal on Friday 

The TOWIE star, 34, has sparked concern with her new slimmed-down appearance after dropping two stone but has said she understands she needs to put weight back on 

Alongside the note, Amy shared a video of herself in a brown bikini as she displayed her slimmed down frame.

The star posed on a balcony in Portugal where she has been filming the latest series of TOWIE with her co-stars. 

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'.

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.

The reality star, who is said to be 'gutted' over the decision, has reportedly decided to cancel their impending nuptials to focus on her personal life.

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.'
