Amy Childs and Billy Delbosq have 'called off' their wedding as the reality star is said to be 'gutted' over the last-minute changes that mean cameras won't follow their journey down the aisle
Amy Childs has dramatically called off her wedding to fiancé Billy Delbosq after a number of setbacks left her feeling "overwhelmed" and under intense pressure, according to reports.
The TOWIE star, 34, had been planning a lavish big day for later this year - with cameras set to follow the build-up for a new show - but those plans have now reportedly been scrapped. "Amy's gutted," a source told Closer.
‌
"Everything was heading towards a September wedding, but real life got in the way - it's all been too much." Amy and Billy, 42, who share two-year-old twins Amelia and Billy, got engaged in April 2023 in a sweet family moment that saw Billy dress their newborns in matching suits, reading "Mummy, will you marry my Daddy?"
‌
The couple, who got together during lockdown, had even started dress shopping and discussing venues. But in recent weeks, the wedding has been thrown into chaos - and now, completely 'cancelled'
Back in February, Amy was full of excitement, saying she had the "wedding body" and was eyeing up a September or October date. But by April, she admitted the pressure was getting to her: "I still don't know if it will be this year... I feel overwhelmed!"
‌
"One week we're talking about it non-stop, the next we don't mention it at all," she said. Things took a darker turn earlier this month when Amy and Billy's £1.7million Essex home was targeted in an attempted break-in, leaving the couple shaken.
Days later, Amy's mum, Julie, suffered a heart attack and needed emergency surgery - something Amy said "tipped our world upside down." In April she took to Instagram and said her mother, 59, collapsed from the health scare leaving her terrified.
‌
Amy revealed at the time that Julie was "doing ok" but needed rest and was in hospital waiting for a stent to be fitted. "With everything that's gone on - the break-in, her mum nearly dying - Amy's decided it's just not the right time," the source added.
"She and Billy are still together, but the wedding is off. It's all just become too stressful." Back in 2023, Amy admitted to questioning her relationship after confessing she wasn't sure that Billy still wanted to marry her.
"Since he proposed, he hasn't mentioned it once," she told The Sun. "I actually asked him the other day if he still wanted to marry me!"
"There are no plans for a wedding at the moment," she admitted at the time. "I don't feel like I could even plan it right now. We don't need to get married to prove anything."
Amy also shares daughter Polly, eight, with builder Bradley Wright, and Ritchie, five, with her ex of the same name.
