Former The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs has announced she's pregnant with her second child in a cute post on social media.

Amy, who shot to fame on the reality show back in 2010, revealed her exciting news on her Instagram page last night. Sharing a photo of herself with her daughter Polly, Amy showed off her tiny baby bump as she wrote, 'My partner and I are delighted to announce that polly will soon be welcoming a little brother or sister Into the world 👶🏼💙💗' sic

Fans and friends of the reality star were quick to congratulate her. Fellow mum Ferne McCann wrote, 'Congratulations xxx', with The Mummy Diaries star Billie Faiers adding, 'Congratulations my darling ❤️'.

A fan then added, 'Ahh lovely news. congratulations darling'. sic

Despite revealing her happy news, Amy has chosen not to identify her boyfriend whom she was spotted holidaying with back in January 2018.

Amy welcomed her first daughter on Sunday 30th April 2017, calling her Polly with her ex-boyfriend Bradley Wright. The proud mum held her daughter's little fingers as she wrote, 'Welcome to the world my beautiful daughter đź’ž'. sic

However, just six weeks later, the pair announced their shock split, with Amy admitting she'd 'fell out of love with him'.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Amy revealed she felt more like his mum than his partner. She said, "After Polly arrived, he was sleeping in a different room. Towards the end I became more like a friend and his mum."

She then added, "Even when he came home from work he'd have a cuddle with her and he did that a little bit but then he'd go upstairs. I think he was just so over it. When she was crying in the night, he wouldn't come in and say, 'Can I help?' It was always me."

Amy first shot to fame back in 2010 when she appeared as an original cast member on popular reality show The Only Way Is Essex. The reality star has undergone a dramatic image haul since then and looks very different compared to her old look.

As well as TOWIE, Amy has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, The Jump, Star Boot Sale and her own show It's All About Amy.

Amy's second child is expected to arrive later in the year.
