'We don't have time to get married yet

Mum-of-four Amy Childs talks festive plans, why a wedding isn’t on the cards for now and why Christmas is so emotional

When we catch up with TOWIE legend Amy Childs, she can barely contain her excitement as she opens up about her fabulous festive plans.

Amy, 33, will be hosting dinner for a whopping 18 members of her family, and, as it’s her eight-month-old twins’ first Christmas, it’s fair to say she’s going to have her hands full.

The star – who is also mum to Polly, six, and five-year-old Ritchie from previous relationships – welcomed babies Amelia and Billy in April. She got engaged to their father, Billy Delbosq just weeks later.

Billy, who once appeared on First Dates, even enlisted the help of the twins when popping the question, dressing them in matching sleepsuits with the words, ‘Mummy will you marry my Daddy?’.

Here, the ever-bubbly Essex girl exclusively tells new about her festive family traditions, why this time of year always makes her emotional, and why it’ll take a lot to top 2023.

Hi, Amy! How will you be celebrating Christmas this year? It’s a busy one for us this year as Bill and I are hosting 18 people for dinner. We’ve got all the family coming round, so things might get a little hectic. But, truthfully, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Christmas is all about family. Although, I’ve never cooked for 18 people before. Bill is taking me and the kids away for the night on Boxing Day for some chilled time.

This will be the twins’ first Christmas. Does that make it even more special?
