When chatting about reality TV legends, Amy Childs is without doubt in the ranks of the most notable stars.
The celeb, famed for her stint on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), has graced our screens for 15 years.
Despite regularly dazzling us with her glamour on the telly, she's openly confessed that she had lost touch with loving her figure.
Now a mother to four, Amy's journey through the last decade-and-a-half has been significant, and recently she's been refreshingly honest about her struggle with body image. Acknowledging her tendency to consume "complete rubbish", she noticed distinct changes in her physique.
However, keen to boost her well-being and shed some weight, Amy embraced some straightforward lifestyle tweaks and now feels much happier with herself. Alongside enlisting a personal trainer, she stuck to one golden rule to aid weight loss progress.
On Instagram, Amy shared her thoughts: "Was contemplating putting this picture up! But here goes. Left picture Ritchie was seven-months-old, was eating complete rubbish, no exercise, really unhappy in myself.
"Right picture four kids, fittest I have ever been, eating the 'RIGHT' foods! Picture taken at the finale of TOWIE.
"I've been bombarded with messages asking how I've lost the weight after having twins, and in all truth, if there's one thing that's made the difference... It's absolutely not over-restricting myself.
"In the past, I've tried quick fixes to shift the weight but this time, with Freya's guidance, I've learnt that if I try to cut out the things that I enjoy it will never lead to results.
"One year ago I would've never felt confident enough to wear this outfit, but Freya has helped me realise that being a mum does not mean you have to settle with your body and how you want to look and feel. If you want the same for yourself, enquire with Freya through her bio @freyapotentiacoaching."
The commendations rolled in by the thousands as soon as Amy shared her journey, with user comments pouring in to congratulate her. One fan expressed: "You look amazing. Hard work pays off - you should of put one of your bikini pics up."
Another wrote: "Wow." Meanwhile, a third also said: "You look amazing."
Amy, who waved goodbye to The Only Way Is Essex after two years on the show, made a smashing return in 2020 and, since then, she's been serving continuous joy to viewers with her on-screen charm.
