Amy Childs has revealed she is looking for a new wedding date after postponing her upcoming nuptials with fiancé Billy Delbosq due to her mother's ill health.
The former TOWIE star, 35, shared a major update on Tuesday as she revealed she is planning an 'even bigger and better' wedding than originally organised next month.
Amy's mum Julie, 59, sadly suffered from a heart attack in May, which seems to have pushed back their desired wedding date in September.
Despite no longer tying the knot this year, Amy and Billy, who have been together since 2021, said they will get hitched in 2026 and have insisted it will be 'amazing' as they are hoping for a two-day event or week abroad.
Speaking about her plans to new!, an optimistic Amy said: 'We'll get a new date set. We'll get the summer out the way and in September we'll get organised.
'The wedding I want needs to be amazing. It will definitely be next year.'
Meanwhile, her future husband added: 'We'll delay it for a year and it will be bigger and better. I'd love to do a two-day event in England or a week abroad.'
Despite the 'pressure being off' as the couple have loads of time to plan for a wedding next year, Amy was very much sorted for the original date - apart from the main event - her dress.
She explained that she did start hunting for the perfect wedding dress for her nuptials, even looking up designers and on boarding a stylist for extra help.
The reality star added: 'We got everything sorted. The only thing I didn't sort out was the dress. I was looking at designers – I had a stylist. In the end, my life was turned upside down with my mum and that was really tough.'
The mum-of-four said Julie was rushed to hospital despite not having any symptoms before the heart attack, which is what shocked her the most.
Sharing an update on her health, she explained that Julie has since had a stent put in and that she is with her every day.
Amy - whose youngest kids are eight-month-old twins Billie and Millie - said it was hard to juggle looking after them as well as making sure her mum was fine.
The TV personality is also mum to daughter Polly, eight, with builder Bradley Wright, and Ritchie, five, with her ex of the same name.
She shared how they were in Tenerife at the time, and Amy flew straight home to be with her mum.
Thankfully, she said her mum is now fine and will likely speak about it on upcoming scenes on TOWIE.
Julie will be known to fans as she starred in her daughter's 2011 reality show, It's All About Amy.
It comes after Amy shared a gushing appreciation post for fiancé Billy, as she admitted the couple had gone through 'a very stressful six months'.
Taking to her Instagram, she posted a glowing tribute to her partner for getting through the stressful time together - juggling house renovations, their careers and raising four children.
Amy shared a snap of the couple together as Billy wrapped a loving arm around her waist.
Captioning the loved-up shot, she gushed: 'Appreciation post for this one ♥️ A very stressful 6 months with the house renovations but we are finally there.
'Passing ships, 4 kids, house renovation, work, if we can get through this we can get through anything babe♥️ I love you babe @billydelbosq8.'
Billy was quick to take to the comments to voice his own appreciation for Amy, penning: 'The last 6 months has been an absolute rollercoaster of ups and downs.. Renovations, Family life, work life and everything else in between..
'But we've come through the other side stronger… Life always throws curve balls but no matter what we have us ❤️ I love you xxx'.
