The room boasts marble flooring, white walls and a cream sofa with a statement drop chandelier.
Amy was keen to give her fans a tour and shared a video on her social media page.
But some concerned followers have reminded Amy to be vigilant when it comes to oversharing details of their property.
One fan quickly warned: " You're just giving home intruders maps of your home, why?? You have children yes, you have a lush house, yes. Keep your family home private please, I don't want anything horrible to happen to your beautiful family.'
While some were more confused about the decor which made it feel like a showroom.
This person said: "Feels cold and not lived."
A third wrote: "The marble tiles give me so much anxiety with the small kids running up and down."
"Beautiful room…but play room it definitely is not," a fourth said.
Amy Childs slammed for taking daughter, 7, to Sabrina Carpenter concert, as people say it's way too 'raunchy' for kids
Amy moved into "dream home" with her family last May.
But as Amy took to social media to show off her lavish five-bedroom mansion, she found herself at the centre of controversy.
The Only Way Is Essex star has moved to the home with fiance Billy Delbosq, their twins Milly and Billy, and Amy's kids Polly and Ritchie.
As they find their feet in the property, Amy has been sharing snaps and videos of their new house on her social media pages.
In a recent TikTok, Amy took the camera down the stairs, at the bottom of which was a glass panel blocking off the floor below.
"I will never get bored of this…" Amy captioned the video.
And while countless fans were quick to congratulate Amy on her new abode, others had something to say about raising children in the house.
"Beautiful but all I can see is someone falling down the stairs and through the glass," one wrote.
"Such a beautiful home but gives me pure mum anxiety of the kids climbing over the glass," another added.
"Oh it's beautiful but my anxiety would be too much for the stairs and glass!" a third commented.
"Stunning, lucky girl.. although I'd be having visions of falling through the glass," someone else sighed, adding "I'm clumsy!"
"First thing i thought when i saw it...dangerous," another commented.
"The anxiety of stairs and falling," someone else wrote.
In other videos, Amy showed off her huge open plan kitchen and dining room, as well as a cinema room and massive garden.

Denis Villeneuve: Director of next James Bond film announced - and says he's a 'diehard 007 fan'

The director of the next James Bond film has been announced. - a four-time Academy Award nominee who earned critical acclaim for the Dune Franchise and Blade Runner 2049 - said the role is a "massive responsibility". The Canadian filmmaker described himself as a "diehard" fan since childhood, adding that it is a "huge honour" to come on board. "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery," Villeneuve said. Reassuring fans, the director continued: "To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come." His appointment comes as the British spy franchise experiences a major overhaul, with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson handing over creative control to Amazon MGM Studios. The Broccoli family have long been the force behind the Bond films, and now co-own the intellectual property. Two recently appointed producers - Spider-Man's Amy Pascal and Harry Potter's David Heyman - said securing a director and developing a screenplay were top priorities before deciding who would succeed Daniel Craig in the role. The head of Amazon MGM Studios, Mike Hopkins, described Villeneuve as a "cinematic master whose filmography speaks for itself". He added: "Denis has delivered compelling worlds, dynamic visuals, complex characters, and - most importantly - the immersive storytelling that global audiences yearn to experience in theatres. "James Bond is in the hands of one of today's greatest filmmakers and we cannot wait to get started on 007's next adventure."

The Scott hotel, Edinburgh: a tranquil, trendy escape from the city

I'm sipping fizz in a grand baronial drawing room with original 1750s ruby-red velvet walls, gilded cornicing and a vast marble fireplace. I'm not sure what I was expecting from a hotel owned by Edinburgh University — let's not forget, it also owns some decidedly unplush student halls — but this elegant, low-lit, seductively grown-up spot sure ain't it. I have come to the Scott, a handsome, turreted 18th-century mansion less than 30 yards from Pollock Halls student accommodation — but a lifetime from the spartan vibe of undergrad living. Reopened in 2022 after a boutique makeover by its owner, the University of Edinburgh Hospitality Collection, the Scott is a just-right marriage of the traditional and the contemporary: think original oak-panelled halls with striking modern artworks from Glasgow's Artpistol gallery; lipstick-pink chaises longues in high lounges with corniced ceilings. The bedrooms feel more modern. There are 36 in all, each with a distinct design, though marble bathrooms, tall windows and the semi-obligatory 'boutique hotel' teals, greys and greens are a common theme, with colourful paintings, bright cushions and throws adding pleasing pops of colour. The bathtub in my room was enormous, coupled with a curiously low toilet seat. Cards with messages to be mindful, left on your pillow, were an unusual — and actually quite welcome — touch; the whiskies and complimentary salted caramel chocolates were a winner. • The 15 best restaurants in Edinburgh — our critic's guide Crucially, given its proximity to Pollock Halls, the hotel is wonderfully quiet. Despite staying on a Saturday night, we heard not a peep from our neighbours. No student raves, no loud teenagers fumbling in the dark for keys as they returned from Sneaky Pete's in the wee hours. • These are my favourite almost-secret beauty spots in Scotland The real star at the Scott is the dining room, Bonnar's. Dominated by a magnificent fresco by the 19th-century interior designer and architect Thomas Bonnar, the restaurant oozes an elegant, rococo vibe. Headed by Pier Berretta — the Italian chef has worked at Noma in Copenhagen as well as a galaxy of Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris — the restaurant's focus is local, seasonal and delicious, with seafood from Peterhead and many ingredients harvested from the hotel's kitchen garden. With mains starting at £20 and a five-course tasting menu for £65, Bonnar's feels like a pretty good deal considering the pedigree of its chef and the quality of its food. Spacing between tables and soft background jazz cultivates an intimate atmosphere too — though I could have done without the clank of cutlery towards the end of our meal as staff set up for breakfast. Still, it did mean we went through to the Velvet Lounge for a nightcap a bit earlier than we might otherwise have done, and for that I will be for ever grateful — not least because it was about to close for the evening. It was a shame, because this is a wonderfully moody speakeasy for a whisky cocktail or two — with original velvet walls, soft, seductive lighting and blue crushed-velvet armchairs that wouldn't look out of place in Soho House. Some music would have helped too, but that may just be me; guests coming for peace and calm away from Auld Reekie will feel considerably less aggrieved. Back in my room, a French 75 in one hand and an espresso martini in the other (when in doubt, double slainte), I found myself reflecting on what makes this place special. It's not the view — mine was of a driveway, not Arthur's Seat or Holyrood Park — nor do you get a sense that trendy interiors are king. It's the quiet, the attention to detail, the sense that every little thing has been considered to make you feel, if not at home, then at least somewhere maybe even better than your home. As I drained the last of the prosecco and sank into the oversized bed, I realised the Scott isn't trying to dazzle you. It's trying to soothe you. And in a city as lively as Edinburgh that's no small feat — even if the toilet was ridiculously Halford was a guest of the Scott (B&B doubles from £195,

Bindi Irwin shocks fans as she reveals unusual accent during interview

She might be an Aussie icon, but Bindi Irwin sounded remarkably different in a recent interview. The wildlife conservationist, who has been spending a lot of time in the US over the last few months, appeared on the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast where she discussed her four-year-old daughter Grace's love of kids show Bluey. In the interview, the 26-year-old debuted a notable American twang as she spoke about the children's show. 'How big is Bluey in your household?' US-based host Kylie asked her. 'Oh my goodness,' Bindi replied back, mimicking the interviewer with a thick American accent. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Bluey is life. Bluey is everything,' she added. Bindi's Australian accent slowly came back as the interview progressed, however her initial twang reflected just how much time Bindi has been spending in the States. The conservationist recently shared a heartwarming family picture as she visited Disney World in Florida with her husband Chandler Powell and their daughter Grace. Bindi could be seen posing with her brood in front of the theme park's iconic Cinderella castle in a sweet photo shared to Instagram. Chandler, 28, carried little Grace, who was dressed for the occasion in a sparkling frock and a Mickey Mouse hat, as Bindi held her husband's hand and smiled. 'May was an incredible month,' Chandler captioned the family photo. The former wake-board champion then listed some moments the family shared, including Bindi's shock medical emergency which emerged as a blessing in disguise. 'Visiting my family in Florida, Bindi getting life changing surgery, Oregon adventures, and Disney all together,' he wrote. 'Very grateful,' Chandler finished off the post, which has garnered over 33,000 likes. In May, Bindi was rushed to hospital just hours after touching down in Las Vegas for a gala honouring her late father Steve Irwin. She suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery, missing the prestigious event she was due to attend alongside brother Robert Irwin and mother Terri Irwin. In an Instagram post, Bindi revealed while her appendix was removed, doctors discovered another 14 lesions from her endometriosis. These were also successfully removed. She also had a large hernia repaired which had developed after giving birth to daughter Grace in 2021.
