The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star is hoping to find a man within the next five years to settle down and start a family with but she has admitted she may be left with no choice but to undergo the medical procedure to ensure she can have a baby later on in life if she hasn't found The One.

She explained: "I definitely would think about it [freezing her eggs]. I would consider it. I think 30 for me, that's when I would definitely go ahead with it because I've not met anyone now, I might not meet someone for another couple of years so I definitely would do it."

However, the feisty red-head - who previously dated her ex-co-star Kirk Norcross - is enjoying single life at the moment.

She said: "I'm really happy single. I've got Ibiza in a couple of weeks and yeah I do like being single.

"I'm just so unlucky in love. I'm really unlucky, I meet the wrong people. I'm very positive, I work seven days a week and I think the right man will come along."

But the 25-year-old beauty has set the bar quite high as she wants to find someone who has a personality like her father.

Speaking on 'Loose Women' on Monday (06.06.16), she said: "I just want to meet someone who's like my dad. My dad has been with my mum for 28 years now and my dad's a right funny guy, he loves my mum so much and yeah I want to meet someone like Dad.

"But I go out and I just get the not very nice people. I get the drunk mate, 'oh I'll go out with you Amy' that's what I get a lot of. It's really hard for me and obviously I've had previous relationships and they've just not been right for me."
