Amy Childs said she and her fiancé, Billy Delbosq, have begun preparations for a “2026” wedding after sharing a loved-up photograph on Instagram on Saturday.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 35, posted a snap of the pair gazing at one another and captioned the image: "Time to organise our wedding.. 2026 wedding let’s do this." She also added: "Future Mrs Delbosq pending ♥️."

Childs and Delbosq had been due to marry earlier, but the couple postponed the nuptials after Childs revealed her mother had been unwell. In a separate update last month, Childs said she planned an "even bigger and better" celebration than the one originally scheduled.

Childs, who rose to prominence on reality series The Only Way Is Essex, has combined a television career with business ventures and a frequent social media presence. Delbosq is identified in the couple's posts and coverage as a business owner. The Instagram message on Saturday was the latest public confirmation that the pair are moving forward with formal wedding planning for next year.

The announcement follows months of public attention on the couple's engagement and the earlier postponement linked to Childs's family health issues. Neither Childs nor Delbosq provided further details in the Saturday post about suppliers, location or a date for the 2026 ceremony. Media queries sent to representatives for comment were not immediately answered.

Childs's social posts typically draw attention from fans and tabloid outlets, where developments in her private life, business projects and television appearances are closely followed. The latest image and caption reiterate the couple's intention to hold a sizeable celebration after the delay, while offering few specifics beyond the planned year.

Further updates on the wedding plans are likely to emerge through Childs's social accounts or official statements from her team as arrangements progress.
