We’re all doing our best to stay positive through the third lockdown, but Amy Childs summed up how many of us are feeling last week when she opened up about her parenting struggles. The TOWIE star shared an emotional post telling of her tough time homeschooling daughter Polly, three, while also looking after son Ritchie, two.
Speaking about her meltdown, she said, “I was really low. I was feeling anxious. I was feeling on edge, I felt like a terrible mother. Then, I woke up the following day and I thought, ‘You know what? It was just one of those days.’”
But despite some challenges on the home front, Amy has cause for cheer. Her relationships with Polly’s father Bradley Wright and Ritchie’s dad Ritchie Snr may not have worked out, but the 30-year-old has found love again with businessman boyfriend Tim. And while she remains tight-lipped about him during our chat, she describes him as a “lovely, lovely, gorgeous man”.
Amy shot to fame in TOWIE in 2010, running her beauty salon in hometown Brentwood – but she left in 2011. Now, she tells new about her long-awaited recent return to the hit ITVBe show.
And as she opens up on her lockdown parenting struggles, she reveals she’ll be giving tips to her TOWIE co-stars Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet, who are expecting their first child together…
Hi, Amy! We saw you felt overwhelmed with lockdown last week. Tell us about how you’re doing now…
