The 26-year-old reality TV star is three months pregnant with her first child and, although she hasn't been struck down with the dreaded morning sickness like the majority of women just yet, she's not excluded from the usual pregnancy symptoms as she's battling with a fluffy face and thicker locks over the past few weeks.

She explained: "I've been off my food, my boobs have been so sore and I've got hairier - I've got a full on beard! Brad [Wright, her boyfriend] noticed it the other day. Although I don't want to eat, Brad is making me eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm just craving jelly tots."

The former 'The Only Way is Essex' beauty may have six months left until she's due to meet her little bundle of joy, but she's already decided she wants to give birth to the baby in hospital.

Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "I definitely don't want a home birth. I want a water birth. Brad will be amazing during the birth because he's really calm, but when I had a blood test he had to walk out of the room."

The couple - who have been together since 2014 but split briefly when Brad went to prison for five months after he was found guilty of handling stolen goods - are keen to find out what sex their little one is and are already convinced they're having a baby boy.

Amy said: "I'm 95 per cent sure it's a boy. It'd be nice to have a boy because we're surrounded by baby girls in our family. We might announce it at a spectacular baby shower, which is going to be in late February. I'm desperate for a Silver Cross pram like the Duchess of Cambridge's."
