Pregnant Amy Childs reveals she was forced to lay on the ground outside after almost fainting

Former TOWIE star Amy Childs has recalled a pregnancy scare she recently suffered while out at a restaurant with her family.

The reality star, 32, who is expecting twins with partner Billy Delbosq, revealed in her column with OK! magazine that she recently felt so ill at a restaurant she almost fainted. 

Amy said she went outside to get some fresh air and was forced to lie on the ground in the cold when she felt unwell.

‘I took a really funny turn’: Pregnant Amy Childs revealed this week the harrowing moment she was forced to lay on the ground outside a restaurant in the freezing cold after almost fainting while expecting twins

‘I took a really funny turn while out at a restaurant in Brentwood with my mum, dad and Polly. I’ve never fainted in my life, but this felt like I was going to pass out,’ she said.  

‘I left the table and went outside to get some fresh air, and then laid down on the freezing floor for about 10 minutes!’ 

Amy said her mother soon came to check on her and the next day she had a doctor’s appointment, who said one of the babies turning in her belly may have made her ill.

‘I took a really funny turn while out at a restaurant in Brentwood with my mum, dad and Polly. I’ve never fainted in my life, but this felt like I was going to pass out,’ she said

‘They think it may have been that one of the babies did some extreme movement like a somersault, and it took away my energy,’ she said. 

Amy said she is now doing better and has passed the 20-week mark. 

Just last month, Amy revealed she’s expecting a boy and a girl with her latest pregnancy. 

Taking to Instagram to share a sweet gender reveal video, the TOWIE star, 32, previously confessed it would be ‘her dream’ to have two girls, but added it would be ‘lovely’ to have one of each.

In the clip, Amy and her boyfriend Billy Delbosq struggled to hide their excitement as they popped two balloons to reveal their baby’s genders, despite both insisting beforehand they were sure it would be two boys.

Amy began dating businessman Billy, 38, in July last year and has previously praised him for acting as a father figure to her children Polly, four, and Ritchie Jr, two, from previous relationships.

In August, it was revealed the couple had temporarily split after Amy accused Billy of messaging another girl behind her back.

While Billy denied the claims, he did admit to taking the woman’s number – leading to a fractured time between the couple – yet the pregnancy news has made them stronger.

She added that she initially didn’t want to have any more children, but changed her mind after meeting Billy.

Amy explained: ‘I promise you now, I didn’t want any more children. When I met Bill I thought, ‘Do you know what, I’ll have one more.’ We are so excited – it’s going to be absolutely amazing.’
