Amy Childs has given birth to twins, her representatives have confirmed.
The The Only Way is Essex star, 32, is said to have given birth to a baby boy and a baby girl with her First Dates boyfriend Billy Delbosq, 39.
Her labour was a ‘long and exhausting’ one, sources said, with her manager later telling Metro.co.uk she was now the mum of twins.
A close friend revealed: ‘Amy’s welcomed boy and girl twin babies.
‘She’s overjoyed, but exhausted after a long labour.’
The insider added to The Sun: ‘Amy and Billy are over the moon by their new arrivals.’
Amy is already mum to Polly, five, and Ritchie, four, from past relationships.
The happy news comes after Amy admitted she was ‘panicking’ over the twins birth after suffering from ‘belly ache’ and calling the hospital.
Despite having been through pregnancy and childbirth twice before, Amy previously wrote that she feels like she had gone ‘back to square one’ as she frets over the health of her babies.
Writing in her column for OK!, the reality star opened up about a recent incident in which she couldn’t get to sleep, and in the middle of the night her stomach began ‘cramping’.
‘I’ve had it before, it’s not like it’s my first baby, but I said to Bill that something felt different,’ she said.
After first feeling the cramping at around 1am, the expectant mother stuck it out until 3.30am, when she called the hospital and explained she had a ‘belly ache and bad belly pain’.
She added that she could feel her babies moving and being ‘really active’, and worried that she would go to the hospital only to be told she was having Braxton Hicks, or false labour pains.
‘I’m a worrier, so if the babies weren’t moving I’d have definitely gone down to hospital,’ she added.
The 32-year-old reality star revealed her pregnancy at the end of October, and she recently admitted she was expecting to be trolled over her decision not to breastfeed her twins.
She made the decision after her struggles with her daughter Polly, and she realised it ‘wasn’t for her’.
Metro.co.uk has approached Amy’s reps for comment.
