Worried Amy Childs has revealed that her mum Julie was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after suffering a heart attack.

The TOWIE star, 34, took to Instagram on Tuesday and said her mother, 59,  collapsed from the health scare leaving her terrified.

Amy revealed Julie is now ‘doing OK’ but needs rest and is currently in hospital waiting a stent to be fitted. 

A heart attack can lead to a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart, and a stent is a medical device used to open that blockage and restore blood flow. 

Alongside a picture of Julie beaming while holding her twins, Amy penned: ‘We had very worrying news last Friday. My mum had a heart attack Friday evening. 

‘I’ve been having loads of messages from close friends (sorry I haven’t got back to some of you)

‘Mum is doing OK. She is going to hopefully be having a stent put in this week!

Julie will be known to fans as she starred in her daughter’s 2011 reality show, It’s All About Amy.

It comes after Amy showcased her two-stone weight loss as she filmed a new episode of TOWIE alongside Sophie Kasaei and Dan Edgar last month. 

The reality star looked incredible as she slipped into a black long-sleeved jumpsuit with leopard print sleeves.

The figure-hugging garment also featured a plunging neckline while Amy added height to her frame with a pair of black heels.

Sophie, 35, displayed her curves in a bright red latex jumpsuit with a high collar which she paired with matching heels. 

The pair enjoyed a drink at the bar at Array Restaurant in Romford which came after Amy filmed a scene with Dan and her fiancé Billy Delbosq earlier that day.

Mother-of-four Amy said she struggled to slim down and get back to her pre-baby weight following the birth of her twins Milly and Billy, 18 months.

Amy also shares daughter Polly, seven, with builder Bradley Wright, and Ritchie, five, with her ex of the same name.

Sharing a swimsuit post of herself, she wrote: ‘Feeling proud. Nearly 2 stone down and WOW I feel the best I have ever felt since having the twins!!

‘I really struggled with losing weight after the babies, I was in a complete baby bubble, no energy, and the last thing I wanted to do was “diet”

’10 months ago I decided to follow a meal plan @freya.potentiacoaching and train up to 3 times a week with MY PT! as well as taking up reformer Pilates (which I absolutely love) great for toning.

‘I still very much enjoy weekends with a few glᴀsses of Prosecco or a bottle BUT this is basically a post to say if you was in the same boat as me 9months ago struggling to lose your weight!

‘Then if I can do it you 1000 percent can do it too! It’s not a quick fix and it’s taken me months but I’m starting to feel good in my self again!

‘I never thought I would feel confident uploading pictures of me especially in swimwear still a lot of toning up to do, but I have too remember that I have had 4 children so I should be very proud how far I’ve come ♥️

‘PS just realised still have moisturiser on my leg!!’

The reality star rose to fame on the first series of the ITVBe reality show in 2010 and stayed until 2012 but returned almost a decade later in 2020.

Amy and Billy have been an item since October 2021, two months after Amy split from her ex-boyfriend Tim following 14 months together.
