AMY Childs has opened up about her relationship with fiance Billy Delbosq after being spotted without her engagement ring.
The Towie, 34, star was wasn’t wearing her sparkler when pictured out in Essex yesterday, following reports she’d cancelled the wedding.
But insiders have now insisted Amy and Billy, 42, are “more in love than ever”.
A source told The Sun: “Amy just took her ring off to go to the gym.
“She and Billy are are more in love and stronger than ever after what they’ve been through together recently.”
Amy sparked concern among fans recently after showing off her extreme weight loss.
But last week she opened up about the reason behind it, revealing mum Julie had suffered a heart attack.
The family has been left rocked by Julie’s ill-health – and Amy still has to work and run a home with four children.
Our insider continued: “Amy is busier than ever with brand deals and filming for Towie and Billy also works full time for his own flooring company.
“She and Billy are still having so much work done to their dream home and were in full blown wedding planning for their do at Cliveden Hotel in September.
“But then when Amy’s mum had a heart attack, their worlds were turned upside down and she became their main focus.
“It’s a juggling act now between having four children and a house that looks like a bomb site outside.”
But despite the pressure they’re under, we’re told the couple are doing their best to support each other – and Amy is focusing on putting on weight again.
The source added: “Bill and Amy make time for each other when the children are in bed. They are best friends and madly in love.
“Amy is concentrating putting weight on now after losing more than she would like because of stress.”
