Completing the look with a pair of dark shades and nude strappy sandals, Amy appeared in good spirits as she posed with her TOWIE pals Harry Derbidge and Lauren Goodger.

And last month she revealed the real reason behind her extreme weight loss after calling off her wedding to her fiancé Billy Delbosq.
Addressing the weight loss and cruel trolling she's received as a result of the weight loss in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine she said: 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me.
'I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack.'
'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.'
Amy added: 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.'
Amy also explained how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her 'so ill she threw up three or four times'.
However the star appeared in good spirits as she commenced filming and enjoyed lunch with the cast and her daughter Milly.
TOWIE - which is one of ITVX's most streamed titles with 66million streams in the last 12 months - is back with the brand new series airing on ITV2 and ITVX later this year.

Meanwhile Elma Pazar wowed in a figure hugging shimmery maxi dress adorned with embroidered seashells and starfish.
She was joined by her boyfriend Sammy Root after the pair met in January on the second series of Love Island: All Stars.
Amy also recently called off her wedding to her fiancé Billy after a stressful period dealing with her mother's ill health and her own extreme weight loss.
The reality star, who is said to be 'gutted' over the decision, has reportedly decided to cancel their impending nuptials to focus on her personal life.

Jordan kept it cool and casual in a white linen shirt, green shorts and sandals
Freddie Bentley opted for a bold black and white print shirt which he paired with some tiny black shorts and flip flops
It was previously claimed that Amy's 'perfect' day was under threat and it has now been reported by Closer magazine that the day is totally off for now.
According to the publication, the plans have been pushed back due to 'last minute changes', after she first delayed the wedding in 2023.
An insider said: 'Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted. There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day..
'But they've had to make some last-minute changes based on what's going on in their lives.'

Warhammer maker Games Workshop to reward staff with £20MILLION payout
Games Workshop is handing its employees £20million following another bumper year for the beloved tabletop games maker. The Warhammer creator, which has struck a deal to have its creations star in potential TV and film blockbusters for Amazon, said the cash payments would be given on 'an equal basis' to every staff member. Games Workshop's shares have soared in recent years and it joined the UK's leading FTSE 100 stock market index for the first time last December. The £20million payout represents an increase on the £18million awarded last year and £11million the year before that. It comes as Games Workshop forecast sales to soar to at least £560million for the year ending 1 June, up from £494.7million in the previous 12 months. British actor and Superman star Henry Cavill, a self-declared lifelong fan of the figures, will star in and produce a Warhammer 40,000 series with Amazon Prime and Games Workshop. Last December, Cavill posted on Instagram: 'To celebrate some Warhammer news, I decided to make a pilgrimage to the very first place I bought Warhammer models over 30 years Little Shop, on my home island of Jersey! 'My incredible team and I, alongside the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, have been working away in concept rooms, breaking down approaches to the enormity and magnificence of the Warhammer world. 'Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. 'Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret.' Games Workshop said today that it expects to achieve record licensing sales of about £50million, although the company does not envision repeating that figure in the next financial year. Alongside this, the business believes its core operating profits and pre-tax profits will total no less than £210million and £255million, respectively. Two months ago, Games Workshop upgraded its earnings forecast thanks to strong trading across licensing and its core operations. This followed the firm's best-ever first-half result, with sales buoyed by record retail sales in the UK, North America and Continental Europe. Revenues were further boosted by the release of video game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which sold two million copies on the opening day of its launch and five million by the end of November. During the half-year period, Games Workshop agreed 'creative guidelines' with Amazon to adapt Warhammer 40,000 into films and television shows. In addition, the company entered the blue-chip FTSE 100 after enjoying nearly a decade of consistent growth under its chief executive, Kevin Rountree. During his tenure, Games Workshop has improved its relationship with fans and introduced games with more simplified rules, including Blood Bowl, a parody of American football. Its revenues benefited considerably from the Covid-19 pandemic, when consumers sought new indoor hobbies to occupy their time. Although lockdown curbs eventually ended, the firm's trade has continued expanding, and its market value now stands at almost £5billion. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: 'Games Workshop has a rock-solid core business, underpinned by an army of fans emerged in its fantasy worlds who collect miniature figures and play its board games. 'This success has enabled the company to build a rich library of intellectual property that is now the platform for additional revenue generation. 'Licencing the rights to certain brands and characters is easy money, but Games Workshop is fiercely protective of its assets and won't let anyone come along and milk them.' Despite the optimistic forecasts, Games Workshop shares were 4.5 per cent lower at 15,150p on Friday morning, making them the Footsie's biggest faller.

Love Island fans convinced pair had SEX just three days into show as they sneak to hideaway
LOVE Island fans are convinced Harry and Helena had sex just three days into the show. The Sun revealed this week that air hostess Helena, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry, 30, spent the night together in the hidden suite on Monday. 4 4 And on tonight's show, the pair sneaked away to the Hideaway for some alone time and enjoyed multiple kisses. They struggled to keep their hands off each other and Harry then pulled the covers over their heads. The following morning, Harry and Helena told the rest of the Islanders that they just had a kiss and a cuddle. But viewers watching at home think the pair got up to a lot more than that. One wrote: "Having sex on international tv on day three???" The Sun have reached out to ITV for comment. On last night's show, Shakira, who is coupled up with Harry, visited the Hideaway with Blu, who is with Alima. Watch the awkward moment Love Island stars sneak out of the bedroom for steamy night in the Hideaway - leaving partners fuming The pair shocked fans as they shared a kiss just minutes into entering the cosy private area. Tonight Harry found out about their snog from fellow Islander Dejon, leaving him gobsmacked. Harry then suggested to Helena that they sneak off to the Hideaway in the middle of the night. But they were rumbled after their fellow Islanders spotted them running out of the bedroom together. A source said: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' Helena, who is pals with Piers Morgan's son Spencer and Gary Lineker's son George on the outside, had fans in stitches on Monday night's launch when she described her type as a 'four out of ten that is funny.' Harry, who is a commodities trader, has been described as The Surrey Zidane by fans of his team, Farnham Town. He's scored with Helena after his original coupling, Sophie Lee left the villa as part of a show twist. 4

Olivia Attwood shows off her eye-popping figure in a chic baby blue bikini as she enjoys a beach day in Miami with husband Bradley Dack
Olivia Attwood set pulses racing as she posed in a baby blue bikini during a beach day in Miami with her husband Bradley Dack. The former TOWIE star, 34, showed off her curves in the chic two-piece, which she teamed with blue-tinted shades and a lavish turquoise Hermes Birkin bag. The Love Island alum looked in joyful spirits as she snapped a selfie with her footballer husband Bradley, 31, during their daily outing in Florida. Olivia gave fans a sneak peek into her wardrobe as she also shared photographs of a pair of Miu Miu brown loafers and her expensive tote bag. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In another shot, she donned a navy polo zipped jacket and flaunted her behind in a pair of matching mini shorts which read 'Beach Bum'. The couple's romantic holiday in the US comes as Olivia admitted that it's 'difficult' finding the space for quality time with Bradley in her busy work schedule. She married the Gillingham midfielder in 2023 and has opened up on how she juggles her career and relationship. This year, Olivia has been busy filming the second series of her show Bad Boyfriends in Greece, appearing on Loose Women as a panellist and recording her hit podcast. She then spoke to Heat magazine candidly about how she makes her marriage work. She said: 'It's difficult I'm not going to lie. We've just had a nice few weeks - he came out to visit me on set. 'We'll have a little holiday together in a couple of weeks. 'When we are together we make that time valuable, which I think you end up doing when you have less time together because you know you can't take it for granted.' In the interview Olivia also spoke about how she is 'more careful' about having cosmetic surgery since filming The Price of Perfection. The TV personality has undergone a range of procedures since she was in her 20s, including breast augmentation and reduction, Botox and fillers. But doing her ITV1 beauty docuseries has given Olivia an 'awakening' in what she has put her body through over the years. In an interview with Heat magazine, the star explained: 'Being on the other side of things was an awakening because it made me understand these procedures are major surgeries.' The former Love Island contestant has ruled out becoming a cosmetic surgeon or an aesthetics provider because it is out of her 'intellectual remit'. Olivia admitted she was 'naïve' about how weight-loss injections can affect people, but she got an understanding of how the jabs work in the new series.
