Amy Childs is pregnant with her first child after reuniting with jailbird boyfriend

Oh Em Gee: Former TOWIE star Amy Childs has stunned fans with the news she is expecting her first child after recently reuniting with jailbird boyfriend Bradley Wright.

Amy, 26, split from Bradley, 25, after he was sentenced to 16 months in prison for handling stolen goods last year, but the pair rekindled their relationship in March as the Essex babe claimed she couldn’t live without him.

After confirming that she is now 12 weeks pregnant, the reality TV star admitted she had wanted to start a family with her man for a long time, but feared she wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally.

Speaking to OK! magazine, the mother-to-be revealed: “[I am feeling] shocked but happy. I feel so overwhelmed and I keep waking up smiling.

“We’ve wanted a baby for so long, so we’re happier than we’ve ever been. We wanted one before Bradley went to prison but it didn’t happen,” she added. “I didn’t think I could get pregnant.”

Bradley – who already has a daughter from a previous relationship – was released from prison early for good behaviour, serving five months of his service, so the couple decided to give their relationship another go.

Reflecting back on their relationship, the red-headed beauty who started dating Bradley in 2014 after meeting in a Brentwood pub, explained: “We wanted kids together soon after we met.

“I love kids, especially because Bradley has Lexi, and spending time with her made me want a baby more. I have a big family so I love having my nieces and nephews around.”

Soon after the exciting baby news came to light, Amy took to Twitter to reveal: “We are so excited” before retweeting a host of congratulatory messages from her friends, fans and management team.

Aww, so sweet. Huge congratulations to Amy and Brad on their beautiful baby news!
