Sad times: Heartbroken Amy Childs revealed an employee in her salon stole thousands of pounds from under her nose by swiping cash from the tills

Amy soared to fame on the ITVBe show in its 2010 inauguration, where she was one of the stand-out stars with her ditzy one-liners yet as she left the programme after two series - after which she kicked off a blooming business.

She opened her Brentwood salon in 2012 hot on the heels on the success of her own boutique, which kick-started the trend of TOWIE cast members opening shops.

Despite the roaring success of her business, Amy has been left heartbroken after her boutique was swindled by an employee who was swiping cash from the till.

Speaking to the magazine, she said: 'She’s nicked thousands from under our noses. A customer told Mum she’d paid cash for something, but there was no record of it, so we looked at CCTV which confirmed our fears.

'I’ve spent most of the week at the police station. She’s admitted it so she’ll have a criminal record. We won’t get the money back, but that’s not what has hurt. It’s that we trusted her and treated her well and she did this.

'It’s that we trusted her and treated her well and she did this. It’s not what I’ve needed being heavily pregnant, it’s caused me lots of stress.'

In October, Amy confirmed to OK! magazine that she is expecting a baby with her jailbird boyfriend Bradley Wright after trying to get pregnant before he served his five-month spell in prison for handling stolen goods last year.

Just days before the big reveal, Amy was forced to defend her self when she was snapped sipping a glass of prosecco.

Not true: It transpired the drink was non-alcoholic, leading to her comment: 'So it seems I’ve been criticised following a set of photos which surfaced yesterday. I’m pretty hurt that people would think I am the sort of person who would put my baby at risk

It transpired the drink was non-alcoholic, leading to her comment: 'So it seems I’ve been criticised following a set of photos which surfaced yesterday. I’m pretty hurt that people would think I am the sort of person who would put my baby at risk.

'Under no circumstances would I ever do that. Being a mum is something I’ve dreamt of for so long and I wouldn’t ruin it for an act of selfishness. The pictures you are all referring to have been taken way out of context.

'I’m a girl that loves a glass of fizz, but since finding out I was pregnant I’ve not gone near a drop of alcohol.

'Instead, I've found a non-alcholic version of my favourite drink (prosecco) @scavirayuk which means I can still enjoy myself and have a chat with my friends over a drink! I hope this clears it up for anyone that was doubting me. I will always put my baby first'.
