There was a buzz of excitement at the airport as the cast of The Only Way Is Essex prepared to fly out for the next season of filming in Portugal.
Among the familiar faces was Amy Childs, who turned heads not just for her outfit, but for some deeply personal reasons that have recently captured the public’s attention.
Amy’s Bold Look and Family in Tow
Amy Childs, 34, was spotted arriving for the flight dressed in a vibrant yellow tracksuit co-ord, exuding casual style.
She was accompanied by her fiancé Billy Delbosq and their adorable twins, Billy River and Amelia Mae.
Amy looked comfortable yet chic, sporting chunky beige sandals, a raffia Loewe bag, and Louis Vuitton sunglasses, with her hair styled in a voluminous blowout.
Notably, her older children weren’t on this trip, but Amy seemed determined to balance family life with her TV commitments.
As cameras clicked, it was clear that Amy was embracing her role as both a mother and a long-standing TOWIE personality.
Opening Up About Her Weight Loss and Stress
Over the past few weeks, fans have raised concerns about Amy’s noticeably slimmer frame.
She has now broken her silence, explaining the truth behind the sudden weight drop.
In a heartfelt interview with OK! Magazine, Amy shared that the transformation wasn’t planned—it was the byproduct of intense emotional stress.
“I’m dealing with a lot behind the scenes,” she admitted.
“My mum’s health has been worrying me, and I’m constantly afraid she might have another heart attack. The stress has just made the weight fall off.”
She also wanted to clear the air about speculation that she isn’t eating: “I am eating—just not as much.
Honestly, I usually feel better when I’m a bit heavier than this.
Right now, everything’s so overwhelming, especially with four kids and house renovations happening at the same time.”
Trolls, Rumors, and a Difficult Decision
Amy didn’t hold back about the cruel comments she’s received online.
“People are so quick to judge,” she said.
“But I’ve been in this industry for 15 years, and I know how to stay strong.”
She also mentioned that she once tried weight-loss injections about a year and a half ago, but it ended badly—making her violently ill.
Amid all this, Amy revealed that she and Billy have decided to postpone their wedding.
While she’s heartbroken over the decision, she emphasized that her focus right now needs to be on her family and her own well-being.
Lauren Goodger Makes a Confident Comeback
Joining the TOWIE gang at the airport was Amy’s longtime friend, Lauren Goodger.
The 38-year-old looked radiant and relaxed, dressed in a beige co-ord with chic Hermes sandals and a luxe brown Chanel bag.
Her suitcase, stamped with her initials “LG,” made a bold statement too.
Lauren’s return to travel was a significant moment—this was her first time flying in five years, and she’d been open about her fear of flying.
Despite the nerves, she looked upbeat and ready to dive back into filming, her bouncy blow-dry and glamorous makeup finishing off her airport look.
Ella Rae Wise Stuns Post-Breakup
Also heading to Portugal was Ella Rae Wise, 24, who recently split from Dan Edgar, 35, following their on-screen romance.
Although the pair had a romantic storyline that led to a relationship, Ella later admitted that “something was missing.”
Striding through the terminal in a striking red gym set, she seemed to radiate confidence and independence.
She paired the look with white trainers and a sweater, pulling along a luxe Louis Vuitton suitcase with a matching tote.
Becks and Livvy Bring the Heat
Rounding out the group were Becks Bloomberg and Livvy Jay—two newer faces introduced in Series 33.
Becks turned heads in a daring white crop top that showed off major underboob, pale blue joggers, and a matching jacket.
With minimal makeup and oversized sunglasses, she looked effortlessly stylish.
Her two large suitcases hinted at a wardrobe full of statement outfits for the days ahead.
What’s Next for the Cast?
As the TOWIE crew heads into another dramatic season under the Portuguese sun, there’s no doubt that relationships, rivalries, and revelations will unfold.
Whether it’s Amy navigating life’s curveballs, Lauren conquering old fears, or Ella embracing single life, the stage is set for another unforgettable ride.
Stay tuned—the next chapter of The Only Way Is Essex is just getting started.
