Amy Childs breaks down in tears and sobs as she reveals moment baby ‘nearly died’

AMY Childs is seen breaking down in tears, as she reveals the moment her baby “nearly died”.

The Towie star, 32, talks about the “traumatic birth” on her new ITVBe show The Twin Life.

In a first look at the brand new series Amy is seen welling up as gives details about her twins babies’ delivery.

Sobbing, the popular reality star says: “It was awful, it was just tragic.

“And I just looked at Bill thinking, ‘What is going on? Is the baby alright?'”

She tearfully went on: “Then the midwife was running me to theatre with her hand still inside me so that the cord doesn’t come out, cause the minute that comes out, the baby would’ve died.”

Meanwhile episode one of The Twin Life, which airs tomorrow night, will see the family preparing for the twins in the lead-up to  their arrival, while the second episode sees them embark on the early days after the birth.

Living up to her reputation, Amy prepares to welcome the twins in true Essex style with a new spray tan and eyebrows with best friend and cousin Harry.

Whilst Amy adjusts to her new life at home with the twins, Billy pops the most exciting question and asks Amy to marry him, leading Amy and Billy into their new adventure as a soon to be Mr and Mrs.  

However, this series is not all glitz and glamour, as we see Amy deal with a very turbulent and traumatic birth which leads her to undergo an emergency c-section.  

The arrival of the twins puts pressure on Amy and Billy as she struggles with Polly being needier and Billy out partying.

After the cameras filmed her around the clock, Amy takes fans behind the scenes of her pregnancy journey with the twins and her now family of six.  

The series will reveal the couple’s relationship being put to the ultimate test – but fans will have to wait to see if it brings the pair closer together or create new challenges.

On the series, Amy says: “I am very excited to bring viewers in on this crazy journey with twins, as I  become a mum to four under five!

“Bill and I eagerly anticipate sharing every moment, from the  bustling nesting phase, birth via emergency c-section, to the raw reality of the days following the  twins’ arrival, and finally a very exciting proposal!

“We are thrilled to have the cameras come along  for the ride capturing all those special moments.” 

Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Director of Programming said: “We look forward to bringing this fresh and  exciting series to screens, as it’s our first-ever follow on with twins.

“As Amy and Billy navigate the highs and lows that come with raising twins, viewers can expect some heart-warming moments in  this feel-good family docuseries.”
