Be reem: Amy Childs was pictured arriving at the ITV studios today

Having recently returned from a romantic getaway to Las Vegas with her new boyfriend David Peters, it was back to the day job today for Amy Childs.

She was pictured today as she arrived in London for an appearance on Let's Do Lunch With Gino & Mel.

Looking as reem as ever, Amy made her way into the ITV studio wearing a pair of nude heel-less spiked wedges.

In good spirits: Amy, who recently returned from a trip to Las Vegas, wore a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt

Dressed down, the 22-year-old beautician teamed the bizarre wedges with a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt.

She accessorised with an over-sized beige handbag which was also embellished with studs.

Wearing her hair down in loose curls, the former TOWIE star looked like she was in good spirits as she posed for photographers before entering the building.

Excited to see his girlfriend showing off her culinary skills on the daytime show, her boyfriend David tweeted some support.

He wrote: 'Looking forward to seeing @MissAmyChilds cooking today, she is looking stunning again in one of her dresses.'

Following her appearance, Amy also took to Twitter to thank the show for having her.

Her message read: 'Had such a laugh on #letsdolunch, thank you to gino and Mel x x x'
On the show, Childs wore a pretty patterned pleated red dress.

The show host and chef Gino D'Acampo was seen getting very close to Amy as he tried to teach her how to cook.

Last night, the salon owner tweeted about jumping on a new healthy living plan, so hopefully she managed to pick up a few tips.

She tweeted: 'Need to get back into the gym and eating healthy , @Studio360_fit here I come xxx'

Last week, Childs and David were spotted as they holidayed in Las Vegas.

The young couple were seen publicly displaying their affection for one another by the pool, as they shared passionate kisses.

Looking more in love than ever, David showed off his strength as he lifted his girlfriend as they sat in the water.

Since finding fame on The Only Way Is Essex, Amy Childs hasn't exactly been known as the brain of Britain.

And today the reality TV star played up to her 'dumb Essex girl' image as she launched the new Samsung Smart camera.

The new product was billed as so easy even Amy could use it as she posed with the shiny new camera at the Westfield shopping centre in White City, West London.

Even I can use it: Reality TV star Amy Childs launches the new Samsung Smart camera at Westfield Shopping Centre in West London today

The Celebrity Big Brother star, who is an avid tweeter and has over 1million follower on the site, made sure the Samsung launch today would have maximum impact in a tight sequinned bandeau dress and silver Kandee high heels.

The new camera, which comes in several colours, allows the user to connect to Facebook or another social-networking site via wi-fi so their photos can be transferred straight from the camera online.

Despite her ditzy image, Amy is a lot brighter than many people realise and was head girl at the £7,800-a-year private Raphael Independent School in Hornchurch, Essex.

Leggy: The 21-year-old reality star wore a tiny mini dress and towering heels for the launch

However, she admitted she struggled in many of her subjects due to her dyslexia and didn't get end up with good GCSE grades.

On Series 1 and 2 of TOWIE, she was portrayed as a lovable, but intellectually-challenged beautician.

Some of her famous quotes on the show included asking the name of the 'person who wrote the dictionary' and asking if a matador was a type of penguin.

Although Amy admitted her geography isn't good - she famously asked if Pakistan was the capital of India - she insists people underestimate her intelligence.

She said in an interview last year: 'The thing is on TOWIE, they are making a TV show so they edit stuff to make it funny.

'That’s what they did in series one when Kirk took me to the zoo for a date. It looked like I didn’t know what an elephant was. Or a giraffe. It made me look so thick! I do know what an elephant is. But I don’t know the capital of Pakistan.'

Black and white beauty: Amy Childs poses in a monochrome lingerie set part of a new Bra Queen range soon to be launched by Ultimo for Tesco

It's been quite a year for the Essex girl that we know and love, Amy Childs.

She's had her own reality TV show away from the one that shot her to fame, launched her own eyelashes range and her beauty salon is going from strength to strength.

And she is also a woman who knows how to work her enviable curves, which no doubt kept her as the Bra Queen.


And these stunning pictures prove why as Amy modelled the new underwear collection by Ultimo for Tesco.

The former TOWIE star looked sensational as she posed in the new range which will hit selected stores up and down the country very soon.

The summer range includes some very pretty sets including a black lace and white satin one, one with purple lace and a pink and white striped set.


Lady of leisure: Amy lazed on a shell-shaped leather sofa as she modelled a purple lace set

Naughty and nice: Amy looked stunning in the violet floral set and angelic in a plain white satin ensemble

Amy was named the face of Bra Queen last October created by Ultimo boss Michelle Mone off the back off her TOWIE success.

Amy was one of the original cast members of the series but left after the second series to pursue other interests.

And it would seem that Amy thinks she was lucky to leave when she did because this week she bemoaned the show for being 'too bitchy'.

Sweet as candy: This pink and white striped set showed off Amy's curves to perfection

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said it had 'got too serious' and 'lost all it's comedy'.

She added: 'I had so much fun on 'TOWIE' but, when I saw it the other day, it had become so serious.

The way they are editing it makes it so bitchy and it's lost all its comedy.

'I saw Jess (Wright) recently and said I thought it was a shame her and Lauren )Goodger) have fallen out because they were always close.

'I think Lauren must have upset Jess a lot for the two of them to argue. Hopefully, they'll patch things up.'


Girl for all seasons: Amy, who became the face of the winter collection last year, is modelling the upcoming summer range

Showing some skin: Amy Childs pictured leaving her hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, wearing a tiny pair of denim shorts


Being one of the most iconic Hollywood strips, it takes a lot to get noticed on Sunset Boulevard.

So Amy Childs pulled out all the stops today as she competed with the real celebrities in Los Angeles.

The Brentwood beauty, who is currently filming scenes for her reality show It's All About Amy in the U.S., left her hotel in a tiny pair of Daisy Dukes which barely covered her behind.


The 21-year-old paired the denim shorts with a white T-shirt which she had tied at the front to reveal her toned stomach, and her favourite pair of aviator sunglasses.

Yesterday, Amy couldn't resist a little tourist indulgence as she hopped onto a tour bus and made a stop outside Simon Cowell's Beverly Hills mansion.

Perhaps she was hoping for an impromptu meeting with the Syco mogul.

Show-stopping: The reality star is in the U.S. to film her reality show, It's All About Amy


If that was the case it seems the redhead was disappointed- though she still seemed thrilled to be in such close proximity to the X Factor supremo's US abode

Unusually covered-up in a long black and white cardigan, Amy posed outside the house where some of this year's X Factor USA hopefuls auditioned.

True to form however she gave photographers a generous glimpse of her ample cleavage as she stepped gingerly off the bus.


Couldn't resist a spot of celebrity-spotting: Yesterday, Amy Childs made the stop during a guided tour of stars' houses in Los Angeles


Taking it seriously: Amy appeared to appreciate the gravitas of her surroundings more than her companion

Hop aboard! Amy was clearly throwing herself into the tourist spirit


Despite slowly acclimatising to the LA lifestyle, it appears there are a few Essex-born habits that will take a while for Amy Childs to shake.

Amy couldn't help but show off her enhanced assets as she stepped out for dinner at Eva Longoria's Hollywood restaurant Beso the night before.

Dining out in LA usually calls for laid-back chic, but it seems Amy couldn't resist her usual revealing look.


Following her every move: Amy was followed by her camera crew from her show


Local attraction: Amy made sure that she stood out from the crowd and was careful not to trip in her heeled boots as she disembarked

And back on the bus again: Amy pouts and poses for the cameras during the ride


The TOWIE star donned a form-fitting nude dress, which barely seemed able to contain her abundant chest.

She showed off her toned legs, displaying festive red toenails in silver heels.

Amy wore her long lair loose over her shoulders, and sported her usual heavy makeup.

You can take the girl out of Brentwood! Amy brought some Essex glamour to the evening


Despite being in sunny California, it appears Amy still gets her tan the old-fashioned way- in a spray booth.

She was spotted popping into a West Hollywood tanning salon earlier this week.

Characteristically, it appears Amy isn't allowing her busy schedule- filming scenes for her new reality show It's All About Amy- to get in the way of her beauty regime.

Confusing get-up: She expected Caliornian sunshine but Amy's fashion sense went awry when she was met with rain during her day out and opted for an overdose of tan clothing


She's jetted from a wintery Essex to the bright lights of Los Angeles so no wonder Amy Childs threw on a pair of barely-there hot pants as soon as she arrived.

The 21-year-old obviously wanted to make sure all eyes were on her as she hit the Californian city, and they certainly were.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star stepped out in tan-coloured suede shorts but seemed confused about how to dress them up for the weather as she was met with an unusually rainy L.A.


As she stepped out in the normally summery city, Amy opted for an odd combination of brown tights, cute hot pants, shawl and sunglasses after jetting in from the cold conditions in England.

And she attempted to keep her style while dressing appropriately for the weather on Monday, wearing an overdose of autumnal colours.

The reality star seemed delighted as she walked along in the high-waisted shorts, which she carefully matched to her suede skyhigh heels.

The otherwise summery ensemble was also added to with brown tights and a co-ordinating roll neck top with a shawl draped around her neck to keep her warm later in the day.

And she oddly opted also to wear sunglasses as she strode along Sunset Boulevard to have lunch at Mel's Drive-In, despite the dull conditions.

Too much co-ordination! The former TOWIE star wore an overload of brown and tan as she stepped out in hot pants, tights, roll neck and sunglasses


The star even matched her red bow belt to her hair to make the ensemble clash even more.

And it wasn't the only odd choice for the reality TV star, who also decided to take the weight off her feet in an unconventional way as she travelled around the city.

Amy proved her new role as a reality star extraordinaire is tiring work when she used a mobility scooter to navigate her way around a store.

Start your engines: Amy Childs drives a scooter around a drugstore yesterday in Los Angeles


The star, who is in Los Angeles filming scenes for her Channel 5 show, covered up and wore a long black shawl as she drove herself through the discount pharmacy store.

Sitting on the red scooter Amy seemed to be having a good time and even picked up some shopping which she dropped in her trusty basket.


Feeling old? Amy chose to do some shopping on the bizarre scooter and wrapped up in a shawl

Head and shoulders: Amy plays with a mannequin in a Beverly Hills wig store


Amy may have needed the scooter after having spent the day walking round L.A in a pair of high heels.

The redhead paid a visit to a Beverly Hills wig store and found some of the mannequin heads hilarious - Amy picked up one of the heads and couldn't help laughing at it.


Matching it up: After putting the dummy down Amy picked up a hair piece similar to her own locks

Time to top up: Amy visits a tanning salon to maintain her tanned appearance


The Essex girl was then seen holding a hair piece that looked to be the exact same shade that she sports.

And thanks to the lack of Californian sunshine to bask in during her visit, the reality star decided to top up her tan - the Essex way.

Amy was spotted waiting in a West Hollywood tanning salon where she wanted to make sure her skin stayed sun-kissed.


The waiting game: The reality star stands in reception before she is called in for her tanning session


The tagline: Amy forgot to remove the stickers from the bottom of her new shoes

Check it out: A newly tanned Amy pays for her treatment at the salon before heading out again


The former beautician paid for her tanning session and exposed the soles of her shoes, which were obviously brand new as the shopaholic had forgotten to take off some of the labels from her new footwear.

A sticker could be seen on both shoes that read 'soyoushoes'.

Don't rain on my parade: Amy gets caught in a downpour after leaving the salon


After spending some of her hard earned cash on her appearance Amy then got caught in a sudden downpour, proving she needed some extra layers in the normally sunny city.

As the heavens opened the young Brit ran from the salon to her car trying not to get too wet.

The rain didn't put a damper on her day though as Amy tweeted: 'Missing Essex but love LA how is everyone ?'

She emerged later in the day dressed in black leggings and a black hoody to film rehearsals for her new fitness DVD.

Wearing a pair of pink trainers she posted a message that said: 'Loving LA had some great meetings yesterday! Also about my fitness DVD cant wait to start X.'

Amy Childs falls prey to the perils of wearing a satin jumpsuit... an unflattering VPL

By Emily Sheridan


Unforgiving satin: Amy Childs' tight jumpsuit ends up showing off her VPL as she arrives at the Nu Bar in Essex


Arriving to cast models for her new clothing range in Essex today, Amy Childs looked quite the glamorous fashionista in her blue satin jumpsuit.

But as many women have experienced with the material, avoiding any visible panty lines is quite a feat to overcome.

Unfortunately the clingy material left onlookers with a clear outline of Childs' underwear as she arrived at the Nu Bar in Loughton.


Hoping to follow in the business footsteps of her TOWIE co-stars, who have opened shops and launched tanning product and hair extension ranges, Childs is preparing to release her own clothing range.

And while the beautician would be an obvious choice to showcase her designs, she has opted to host a casting session in her native Essex for models.

And with an upcoming reality show All About Amy on Channel 5, the casting was of course captured on cameras.


Feeling blue: Aside from her VPL mishap, the 21-year-old looked glam in her ensemble

She tweeted: 'Filming at @nubar_essex today to find my girls for my clothing range.

'Thank you to everyone who came today @nubar_essex you all was so good xxx.'

Accompanying her for the auditions were her father Billy Snr and brother Billy Jnr.

Childs is hoping her new show will be a success after leaving The Only Way Is Essex after the second series.


Hoping for success: Childs, pictured filming at a garden centre last week, has her own Channel 5 reality show

She admitted producers found her new celebrity lifestyle meant she was too far removed from the 'normal' life she used to leave before finding fame.

She told New! magazine last week: 'Apparently, they (the producers) said that my life wasn't real anymore, because I was doing Celebrity Big Brother. That's their rules and I have to accept that.

'Obviously, I miss the show, but it was my time [to go], and now I’ve been given the opportunity to have my own show. I’ve realised that, since filming, there are a lot of funny things that happen in my life, I don’t regret it at all.'

Despite moving on from TOWIE, she's still in close contact with many of the show's stars and was disturbed to read of Sam and Billie Faiers' attacks over the weekend.

She tweeted today: 'What can I say, so many jealous girls out there. Sam and Billie, I love you so much xxxxx.'

Don't trip! Amy Childs was caught filming her upcoming reality show It's All About Amy at an Essex garden centre with her boots on the wrong feet


As a former beautician and denizen of famously fashion-conscious Brentwood, Amy Childs naturally puts a great deal of thought into her appearance.

However it seems that the 21-year-old has quite literally put a foot wrong on this occasion.

The TOWIE star stepped out to film for her upcoming reality show It's All About Amy with her (very high-heeled) boots on the wrong feet.

The boots Amy was wearing, which are from Topshop, are designed with the zip on the outside of the foot.

Miss Childs wore hers with the zips on the inside, meaning that they were clearly the wrong way round.

Tottering about an Essex garden centre with a camera crew capturing her every move, one hopes that Amy didn't trip over an errant plant pot.

The reality star at least looked stylish otherwise, with her long legs - looking more slender than ever since her time on Celebrity Big Brother- showcased in black leggings.

Amy completed her outfit with a long leopard print Yumi top and sunglasses.

This isn't the first time Amy has worn this pair of Topshop boots on the wrong feet.

Something afoot? Amy seemed oblivious to her misplaced shoes

The redhead made the same mistake - also while filming for It's All About Amy - while filming in Brentwood at the beginning of the month.

On that occasion she teamed her flexible footwear with a short beige dress.

Amy has said that she has no regrets about leaving the series that made her famous.

'Apparently, they (the producers) said that my life wasn't real any more, because I was doing Celebrity Big Brother. That's their rules and I have to accept that,' she said in an interview with New! magazine.

Fashion forward: Her foot faux pas aside, Amy looked stylish in a long leopard print top, with black leggings showcasing her slender pins

'Obviously, I miss the show, but it was my time [to go], and now I’ve been given the opportunity to have my own show,' she said.

'I’ve realised that, since filming, there are a lot of funny things that happen in my life, I don’t regret it at all.'

Amy divulged that she has had a mixed reaction from her old TOWIE cast mates on the news of her own show, It's All About Amy.

Off home: Doubtless uncomfortable after walking around filming all afternoon, Amy took the car

Some have said really nice things, saying they miss me,' she told the magazine. 'Some are saying there is no difference with me not being there, and some have said I've made a big mistake, but they don't know anything outside of TOWIE.'

She said that she hasn't had an opportunity to watch the new season of TOWIE yet, but will sit down and watch them all when she has some free time.

Wild thing: Amy Childs poses in a leopard print monoki as she talks about her figure, men and life post- Big Brother for new! magazine


She admitted she was apprehensive about posing in her bikini but Amy Childs needn’t have worried.

The Celebrity Big Brother babe has showed off her fabulous figure in a series of shots for new! Magazine showing the two-week stint inside the house clearly hasn’t done her any harm.

The 21-year-old has revealed her curves in a sparkling gold two-piece as well as showing off her wild side in a leopard print mono-kini ensemble.


Before heading into the house there were concerns over her recent weight loss but Amy says she wasn’t worried about putting weight on inside the house.

She told the magazine: ‘No, not at all. I’m the same weight. Although I ate so much Haribo thanks to Jedward!’

While the reality star might have been disappointed about coming fourth in the show, not that she has shown it, she was pleased with what she found waiting for her outside the house.

Golden girl: Amy showed off her curves in a gold two-piece as she revealed she still has a soft spot for ex-boyfriend Kirk and she has lots of plans in the pipeline


Reality star: Amy came fourth in Celebrity Big Brother last week and says she has lots of projects planned for the future


The former TOWIE star was greeted by her ex-boyfriend and former co-star Kirk Norcross and the Essex babe has revealed she wished he had been inside the house with her.

She said: ‘If Kirk was in the house… I wish he had been. We have always been on and off. There’s loads of chemistry.

And while the former beautician has admitted she is jealous when Kirk gets with other girls she said she wasn’t sure she could have him as a boyfriend.

After admitting it would be hard because of his ex-girlfriend and TOWIE co-star Lauren Pope she said: ‘And he needs to grow up. He gets bored quickly and doesn’t last with a girlfriend. We tried and it didn’t work, but I’ll be honest with you, I’ll always have a soft spot for him.’

But Amy also hasn't ruled anything out with her most recent beau, Joe Hurlock, 24, who had planned to propose before the couple split before she entered the house.

She said: 'Never say never with Joe.'

Amy also says she doesn't have any regrets about leaving the show that made her famous and has spoken of her plans post-Big Brother.

She said: 'My manager’s got so much to talk to me about, from clothes and make-up deals, to TV projects.'
