Amy Childs wows in black swimsuit in Cape Verde

She is said to have been ‘horrified’ this week by the leak of nude pictures taken when she was feeling ‘under-confident’ about her body.

But Amy Childs put on a brave face at the poolside on Friday as she posed on her sun-drenched getaway to Cape Verde.

The 27-year-old former TOWIE star took her mind off the dream as she enjoyed a relaxing swim in a plunging black swimsuit.

Her getaway comes after the reality starlet was left ‘horrified’ after naked pictures of her were allegedly leaked on to an X-rated website.

The former TOWIE beauty reportedly shared the nude images with her friends some time ago.

She is said to have discovered the pictures on Wednesday morning, and has since been trying to get them taken down.

Privacy breach: Amy has been left ‘horrified’ after naked pictures of her were allegedly leaked on to an X-rated website

A friend of the star told The Sun: ‘Amy is horrified and feels the leak is a real invasion of privacy.

‘They were private snaps sent to her girlfriends two years ago and they were meant to stay private. 

‘She was lacking confidence at the time and wanted to tell her friends she was planning to tighten up her body. They were certainly not aimed at any male admirers.’

MailOnline has contacted the star’s representative for comment.

Taking care of herself: The Essex beauty has been documenting her fitness journey on Instagram, and has often posted pictures of herself in swimwear or tight fitting clothing

Amy has been documenting her fitness journey on Instagram, and has often posted pictures of herself in swimwear or tight fitting clothing. 

Since giving birth to her daughter Polly in April Amy has been using a waist trainer to tone her abs, she revealed to her fans on the social media site.

She also went on a 28-day weight loss programme as a way to trim down her figure.

The red-haired beauty has spoken openly about her struggles of being a single mother, after she split with her ex-convict boyfriend Bradley Wright just six weeks after the birth of their daughter.

Talking with OK! Magazine about the break-up, Amy said: ‘There are times when it’s really tough. Polly usually sleeps through the night, but she’s teething at the moment so she’s been waking up every hour.

‘It’s times like that when I’d love to have a partner who could help me out or look after her while I have a bath.

‘I get a lot of help from my parents as they live just down the road, but it doesn’t replace what I’m missing in a partner.’
