TOWIE star Amy Childs 'overjoyed' after giving birth to twins

The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) star Amy Childs has given birth to twins. The 32-year-old reality TV star welcomed a baby boy and girl with her partner Billy Delbosq.

She is already proud mum to Polly, five, and Ritchie, four, who no doubt can't wait to meet their baby brother and sister. Amy found out she was expecting a boy and a girl in November when she shared an adorable gender reveal video with Billy, reports the Mirror.

As the parents-to-be got ready to burst the balloons, Amy said she was convinced she was having two boys. But as pink and then blue confetti rained down on the excitable pair, the happy couple hugged each other in delight at the news.

Writing in her OK! column during the first week of January, Amy said that filming for new series would begin in two or three weeks time, which would be tough as she would be around 27 weeks pregnant. She wrote: "I'm looking forward to it, though - I'm excited to be back filming because I love it.

"I really do. TOWIE's a massive part of my life and Bill will be on it as a full-time cast member, which they want him to be." Amy went on: "There's a few talks here and there about filming the run-up to my birth, but I'm not sure yet.

"I don't want to commit to anything that might not be possible, but that's all I can probably say for the minute…"
