Amy Childs marked the start of filming for her The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) wedding special wearing a striking pink halterneck gown. The reality star, 36, began filming for the event at Point House in Essex on Friday.
Childs and her partner, Billy Delbosq, 43, previously had a low-key civil ceremony in London in April. They are now preparing for a more elaborate second wedding ceremony in Spain later this month, which will be documented for her ITV show.
For her hen do, Childs was joined by friends and family, including her cousin Harry Derbidge, 32, who is serving as her Man of Honour. The bride-to-be complemented her pink gown with towering nude heels and an ivory clutch inscribed with 'Wifey for Lifey'. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, accessorized with statement earrings and sunglasses.
Among the guests were TOWIE co-stars Lauren Goodger, 39, and Saffron Lempriere, 34, who adhered to an all-black dress code. Goodger wore a black minidress with sheer panels and a lace trim, while Lempriere chose a sheer black lace co-ord set.
Childs' mother, Julie, and other friends were also present. Reports suggest the group enjoyed food and champagne at the venue. Childs has previously mentioned plans for four different wedding dresses for the upcoming Spanish ceremony, emphasizing her desire for a glamorous and 'over the top' celebration.
The couple first tied the knot at Marylebone Town Hall in April. Following their initial wedding, they took their children on a mini-moon. Childs has four children: twins Billy and Millie, aged three, daughter Polly, nine, and son Ritchie, eight.
Her mother Julie's ill health, specifically a heart attack, had previously led to the postponement of the wedding ceremony last year. At the time, Childs stated they would reschedule for the following year, aiming for a more elaborate event.
Childs announced her engagement to Delbosq in 2023, and they have been together since 2021.
