Amy Childs was cruelly mum-shamed as she shared sweet pictures of her recent luxury family holiday.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 33, jetted off to Tenerife with fiancé Billy Delbosq, their twin babies Billy and Amelia, and Amy’s daughter Polly, six, from a previous relationship and kept fans updated on their trip.
“Part 1 of our TENERIFE holiday. We are having the most amazing time making memories with the family,” she wrote alongside a montage of videos and photos from their sun-soaked trip on Instagram.
But she was soon trolled by followers who asked why her eldest son Ritchie, four, was missing from the snaps.

“Is little Ritchie there too? Feel so sad for him,” one troll wrote, as a follower chimed in: “I know this might seem a bit weird but I thought Amy had 4 children. The twins, her daughter and a son?”
Amy has previously spoken about her son being absent from her posts on social media, and said it was due to a decision between herself and his father, who preferred the TV star to keep their young son out of the spotlight for now.
She faced a barrage of criticism from online trolls (@amychilds1990/Instagram)The tot also doesn’t appear in any of Amy’s TV shows, and the mum-of-four said she was previously targeted by cruel trolls who accused her of loving her other children more than Ritchie.
“I must get about 20 messages a day about Ritchie, but basically me and Ritchie's dad agreed together not to put Ritchie on social media or TOWIE,” she explained to The Sun.
Amy and her ex want Ritchie to make up his own mind about being on social media, or on TV and, until then, she has vowed to keep him away from the public eye.
Amy's daughters Polly and Amelia featured heavily in the Instagram post (@amychilds1990/Instagram)
Amy has already explained why son Ritchie is missing from her posts (@amychilds1990/Instagram)However, she admitted daughter Polly is allowed on TV and in Amy’s social media posts because “Polly has a different dad and I made a different decision with Polly and it is that simple.”
The Essex-born star confessed it was a “hard decision” to make, but “having one in the public eye and one not doesn't reflect how much I love them.”
“At the end of the day it's nobody else's business,” she fumed.
