Amy Childs has divided opinion online after showing off her baby daughter’s pierced ears, having shared an ‘update’ on TikTok with fans.
Amy, 33, may have made herself a household name on The Only Way is Essex, but these days she’s also known for sharing her life as a mum on social media.
The reality TV star is a mum of four kids, having most recently welcomed twins Milly and Billy – her first children with fiance Billy Delbosq – who were born in April.

In a recent TikTok video, Amy shared an ‘update’ on little Milly, telling followers how she’s been particularly ‘clingy’ lately due to teething.
“Mily was my... I wanna say ‘dream’ baby!” she said.
“Not anymore - she’s clingy, she is quite whingy.”
Turning to Milly, Amy went on: “And you love a cuddle, don’t you?
“She absolutely loves a cuddle. She now is rolling over and I think she’s gonna be the first one to crawl out of Billy and Milly.
“She’s more advanced, however same again, she’s teething – really rosy cheeks, hand in her mouth, dribbling, crying.”
But while some fans shared their best teething tips in the comments, others were left a little distracted after spotting something about Milly’s look.
“Oh no the earrings [crying emoji],” one person wrote, having clocked the studs in Milly’s ears.
Someone else asked: “Why do people pierce the [baby's] ears?”
A third said: “You have Milly’s ears pierced [angry emoji].”
Referencing why Milly was being so ‘clingy’ and unsettled, a fourth added: “Because you have had her ears pierced, poor little sod.”
But many others defended Amy, arguing that they felt it was the best time to get ears pierced.
“Everyone saying about her ears pierced I’m glad my mum got mine does as a baby because I’d of s**t myself at 7,” one supporter explained.
Another agreed: “I wish I’d got my daughters ears pierced as a baby. She’s 12 now and not allowed due to being on aspirin and she’s so angry she’s diff from friends.”
Amy didn't seem too fussed by the debate, however, simply rising above it and thanking people for their comments.
"Thank you for all your lovely comments," she said.
"I love reading them all."
