“So honeys I’m in Portugal this week and it’s been lovely. I’ve just been chilling out and spending time with my family. I was so gutted because I just missed my cousin Harry [Derbidge], as he flew home as I arrived.

“Obviously I put up a few holiday selfies and they started some speculation that Brad [Wright] and I are engaged – I can tell you we’re 100 per cent not engaged. The ring was on my right finger!

“I’ve got to talk about Kirk [Norcross, Amy’s ex-boyfriend] and his baby news. I think it’s so lovely. I haven’t seen him for so long and I don’t even think I have his number anymore, but I’m so happy for him.

“He’s always wanted to be a dad, and he’s very family focused, family always comes first with Kirk, so I think he’s going to be a really good dad.

“I read some comments his ex-fiancée Cami Li made about the news and I just think she made herself sound quite bitter and a bit jealous. I do feel for Cami, but she should’ve just congratulated him and moved on.

“Obviously Celebrity Big Brother has started and, although I’m holiday, I’ve managed to catch a few episodes. I’ve got to say, I love Chloe-Jasmine and I’ve met her a few times but her relationship with Stevi [Ritchie] just seems like a bit of an act.

“I really like her as a person but I find watching her with Stevi a bit cringe.

“Janice Dickinson is a bit of a wind up. I’ve always liked her but she’s gone too far now with her face, she looks bit like Caitlyn Jenner – but Caitlyn looks better than her!

“James [Hill] and Austin [Armacost] – their bromance is so sweet, but I think it’s a bit one sided. It looks like Austin might fall in love with James, but James is just having a bit of a laugh.

“I was on CBB in 2011 and I’d love to go back in – with Brad! But I don’t think he’d be up for it. He’s not fame hungry, he’s nothing like that, which is why I love him. He hates it. Obviously I love it so I’d definitely go back in the house if I had the chance.

“Something else I need to talk about is Ricky Rayment and Marnie Simpson. Have they split? Haven’t they? I don’t know, but I think if they have they’ll definitely get back together. They obviously love each other and I was quite shocked when I heard the rumours.

“They’re quite full on and I just think you wouldn’t be like that unless it was genuine.

“I heard about Ricky’s reported arrest and I just feel really bad for him. It can be awful when you go on personal appearances – girls want to start, boys want to start and someone could literally turn around and bottle you. I feel sorry for Ricky, obviously I don’t know the ins and outs, but it’s hard for us.

“While I’ve been in Portugal I’ve done a few photo shoots but it’s been nice just having some time off work. It’s my last day here tomorrow so I’m going to make the most of the sunshine!

“Make sure you keep an eye out for my next column, which will include the first of my beauty tips videos! Love, Amy xxx”
