'They were five days we will never forget!'

Amy Childs had to face a challenging labour last month when giving birth to her twins -son Billy and daughter Amelia (known as Millie).

The ex-TOWIE favourite, 32, had to undergo an emergency C-section when her newborn son suffered a prolapsed umbilical cord after Amy's waters broke.

"Billy had wires all around him," the mum of four recalls. "It was so sad. We are giving him all the cuddles in the world."

But just over a month on, with her babies in the clear, she's finally adjusting to life at home as a family of six. And in true reality TV fashion, Amy caught the entire jaw-dropping, tear-jerking experience on camera, so fans can soon catch up with all the drama for themselves on her brand new ITVBe series, Amy Childs: The Twin Life.

The show will see Amy and partner Billy Delbosq, 40-as well as her two children Polly, five, and Ritchie, four, from previous relationships - relive the trauma of her double labour and attempt to navigate the haphazard sleeping and feeding schedules that come with twin tots.

Here, Amy gives new a glimpse into what they can expect...

Hi Amy. We’re sorry to hear about your emergency C-section, how are you doing now?

Obviously, I had a birth plan – but they don’t always go to plan. Two days after we came back home, Bill said, “That was traumatic.” They were definitely five days we are never going to forget. But we documented it all for the show and I really can’t wait for everyone to see it. It is an eye-opener. I was looking at Bill thinking, ‘Oh, my God, what have we been through?!’ Being a first-time dad he was not expecting this.
