Amy Childs declares she’s on a mission to ‘get toned’ for her wedding as she pleads with her followers ‘not to hate’ after slipping into a grey sports bra to kick off 2026 with a gym session

Amy Childs has declared she’s on a mission ‘to get toned’ for her upcoming wedding to Billy Delbosq, as she kicked off 2026 with a trip to the gym on Thursday.

The former TOWIE star, 35, urged her followers ‘not to hate’ as she took to Instagram to share snaps and a video of herself dressed in a plunging grey sports bra and matching leggings.

In a post on social media, Amy said she plans to spend this year ‘working on herself’ and ‘training the right way,’ and said she’d enlisted the help of health coach Jon Kirk.

Amy had previously shared the results of her tummy toning treatment after she was left feeling self conscious with her body after welcoming four children and her recent stress-related weight loss. 

She captioned her post: ‘Happy new year guys! I can’t believe I have started the new year already doing a gym session (can’t believe it).

‘Also no hate please on this post. it’s the new year and I’m going to be making changes.’

Ok so I’ve got some work to do on myself, training the right way, eating the correct foods… after all I am getting married this year and need to look my absolute best. future Mrs Delbosq pending.’

‘Soooo Let’s do this @jon_jkphysique we have some work to do.’

Echoing her sentiment, Jon then commented: ‘Operation- toned for wedding.’ 

It comes after Amy said she is ‘starting to love [herself] again’ as she gave an update on her weight gain journey in an Instagram post earlier this month.

The Only Way Is Essex star sparked concern with her extreme weight loss earlier this year after battling stress and has vowed to put on at least a stone. 

The mother-of-four revealed that training incorrectly and dropping two stone has left her losing muscle, which she is now trying to build back up without having to worry about ‘managing her food’ over the Christmas holidays.

Amy posed for a mirror selfie in a grey sports bra and gym leggings as she updated her followers on her goals and said she’s feeling ‘more in control’.  

She wrote: ‘Starting to love myself again. I’m feeling happier and more in control of my nutrition thanks to this guy @jon_jkphysique.

‘So basically I realised I was losing muscle weight and not just fat!! Jon is coaching me to understand how to lose fat and grow muscle the right way.

‘I always worry or struggle around managing my food during a festive period! (A lot of Prosecco) but Jon is helping me navigate around this time,

‘How to enjoy the food! But still support my goals! I am so grateful for the support and expert guidance around the one thing I always struggled with – nutrition!’

Amy’s post comes after she revealed to Weekend Magazine the unexpected side effects of her weight loss.

She said: ‘I now have a nutrition plan and I train three times a week. I go to padel and Pilates.

‘When I lost so much weight, my skin was completely saggy, but I’ve been having 3D Refirm treatments every week (I’m on my tenth now).

‘My belly is terrible, but this treatment is unbelievable, and whereas before I’d never wear a bikini, next year when I go on holiday I’ll wear one.’

It’s been a tough time for Amy after her brother Billy was rushed to hospital when he was involved in a major car accident earlier this month. 

The TOWIE star said ‘someone was looking over her brother’ after his car was ‘written off’ as a result of the collision.

Amy admitted she has been ‘going through it’ and has lost weight as she worries about her mother’s health after she suffered a heart attack and juggles parenting her four children, Polly, eight, Ritchie, seven, and twins Billy and Millie, two. 

Addressing her weight loss and cruel trolling she’s received as a result 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.

‘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.’
