Former The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs welcomed her first child into world with Bradley Wright back in April, but just six weeks after little Polly arrived, the pair announced their split.

Now, Amy has opened up about her shock split and admitted she '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."

The new mum 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."

However despite this, Bradley has given his side of the story and revealed due to the nature of his work he's tired. He said, "I’m adjusting to the split from Amy; it’s hard. If Amy feels like I wasn’t helping with Polly it was because I’ve been very busy with work. I’m a tree surgeon and ground worker, so it’s dangerous if I’m tired."

Amy and Bradley announced their split earlier in the month via a statement from Amy's representative. It read, "Amy has not thrown Brad out, but they have split up amicably. Brad will of course see Polly whenever he likes and they will remain friends."

The pair welcomed their daughter Polly into the world on Sunday 30th April at 6.24am.

Since sharing the first snap of her little one on social media, the proud mum hasn't been able to resist showing off her bundle of joy to fans.

Amy first met Bradley back in 2014 during a night out in Brentford. After Bradley was jailed for handling stolen goods, the couple briefly split but after his release, Amy admitted she couldn’t live without him until the recent split.

It's understood the pair have remained friends.
