Pregnant TOWIE star Amy Childs revealed she recently phoned the hospital at 3am after a health scare.
The mum-of-two, 32, is expecting twins with her partner Billy Delbosq, 39, in April, but worried the tots might be arriving early after suffering from stomach cramps.
Amy is already mum to Polly, five, and Ritchie, four and said she's used to cramping, but the experience she had recently "felt different".
Opening up about the scary time, she said: "A couple of nights ago I couldn’t sleep at all. I got up around 1am and my tummy was really cramping. I’ve had it before, it’s not like it’s my first baby, but I said to Bill that something felt different.
"I rang the hospital around 3:30am and said, ‘Look, I feel like I’ve really got a belly ache and bad belly pain’. I told them that the babies were moving and really active, which was good, because what I didn’t want to go to the hospital for them to check me, see that they were moving and tell me it's just Braxton Hicks."
