Amy Childs told her fans she won't be breastfeeding her twins, who are due in April.

The mum-of-two, 32, is expecting a boy and a girl with her partner Billy Delbosq, 39, who stars in TOWIE.

Amy regularly updates her followers with her pregnancy progress and recently told them she has no plans to breastfeed.

During an Instagram Q&A, she said: "Breastfeeding never worked for me unfortunately. Polly and Ritchie were both bottle fed and the happiest babies! They were in a routine so quickly.

"I think there's so much pressure to breastfeed now. I put so much pressure on myself to breastfeed but at the end of the day it never worked for me. I always say it's whatever works for you and your baby."
