In one cheeky video, Amy filmed her fiance Billy Delbosq, 42, splashing around in the water shirtless, revealing his heavily-tattooed physique.
Captioning the clip, Amy joked: 'And he is in @billydelbosq8,' adding a laughing emoji.
Taking to her grid, she also shared a sizzling swimsuit snap from her recent getaway to Portugal.
The TV personality wrote: "Wish I was back round the beach club drinking cocktails in the sun, currently on the nursery run, next holiday pending with the family @billydelbosq8 where shall we go ??
"Swimwear @milkandhoneyswim. Hat @madelyndesigns_."
Amy recently sparked concern after revealing her latest home renovation plans.
It came off the back of a tough week for the star, who revealed her wedding to fiance Billy had been cancelled - and the reason why.
Mum of four Amy has also been fighting the comments on body-shamers and confessed the real reason she has lost so much weight.
Yet now she was bombarded with comments from Instagram followers fearing for her security.
Amy has posted a video of her outdoor swimming pool being created in the grounds of her stunning Essex home.
Billy and her eldest daughter Polly, eight, could be seen carefully clambering down the concrete levels as they explored the space, which is yet to be filled with water.
In her caption, the ITVBe star wrote: "Moments like this is everything.
"We are counting down the days. Thank you for making our dream turn into a reality."
Yet some were more concerned about the apparent depth of the pool - and this posing a threat for her offspring.
One took to the comments to bluntly write: "No need be so deep with 3 kids."
A second put: "Please get security around it like a gated area etc x"
A third quizzed: "That pool looks so deep? It's taller then Billy, why so deep? Will be lovely for you all in summer months, asl ong as you are happy, is what matters."
Another then wrote: "I wouldn't have a pool with young kids."
Yet others were quick to share in her happiness, and one wrote: "Living the absolute dream."
A second posted: "Going to be amazing Amy."
WEDDING WOE
Amy pushed back her plans to get married due to "last minute changes", it was revealed this month.
She is said to have been left "gutted" at the recent turn of events.
Sources told Closer Magazine: "Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted.
"There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day, but they've had to make some last-minute changes based on what's going on in their lives."
The news came just weeks after The Sun previously reported how her "perfect" wedding plans were under threat.
Amy shares two of her four children with Billy, who she first met in 2000.
Who is Amy Childs?
Amy Childs was born June 7, 1990, and is a reality star, model, businesswoman and fashion designer.
She shot to fame in 2010 by appearing in ITV2's reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex.
She became known for her ditsy, likeable personality and briefly dated fellow cast member Kirk Norcoss.
A particularly memorable scene involved her "vajazzling" Sam Faiers in a barbie pink-coloured salon.
She left the show in 2011 and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing fourth.
She also took part in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, It's All About Amy on Channel 5.
Two years later she competed in Channel 4's daredevil show The Jump and was the second person to be eliminated.
She is now said to be worth around £5million through her fashion and beauty products.
She referred to him as her "Prince Charming" after they set eyes on each other during lockdown.
In 2023, the pair welcomed twins, Amelia and Billy, into the world after a "long and exhausting" labour - yet their marriage plans have taken a back seat.
HUGE CONCERN
Over the past few months, the reality star's shrinking frame has also caused some worry among fans.
In a bid to put rumours of "fat jabs" to bed, Amy finally opened up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors.
'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly.
'She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack.
'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment.
'There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress."
Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections."

Millions of Freeview watchers hit by big Channel 4 change and must re-scan TV boxes to keep popular channel
MILLIONS of Freeview watchers have been hit by a big channel change as viewers are urged to re-scan their TV boxes. Channel 4 has boosted Freeview coverage for one of its channels this month, meaning you'll need to retune to continue watching. As part of Freeview's monthly channel update, 4seven transitioned to a new frequency as of Wednesday 18 June. This is because of an important technical change to the way the Channel 4 offshoot channel is broadcast on Freeview. It will give more Freeview users access to the channel at a time when 4seven is increasingly used as an overspill for live events. 4seven has recently become the home of a selected number of men's European Championship U21 games, including Netherlands v Ukraine and Slovenia v Czechia. They have previously broadcast coverage of the Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies. But for the time being, 4seven is broadcasting on both new and old frequencies. At the end of this transition period, the old copy of 4seven will carry a retune caption. But you can retune today to ensure continued reception of 4seven on channel 49. Following your retune, you should see 4seven on channel 49 and the old copy of 4seven on channel 790. What's better is the channel now has universal coverage on Freeview. It's now available to all viewers in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man in addition to UK viewers who can only receive a reduce Freeview channel line-up. If you're a viewer who only receives around 20 basic Freeview channels at your address, you can retune to add 4seven to channel 49. It's a big bonus to some viewers as some remote locations with reduced access to Freeview are also affected by poor internet speeds meaning they can't stream TV either. This follows a reconfiguration of the frequency that carries the main Channel 4 service on Freeview, meaning the 4seven signal can now be aired alongside its parent channel. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News It's not the only Freeview change seen this month either. Just last week it was announced that Rewind TV is now on channel 81. It has swapped places with Blaze +1 and is now the next-door channel to the vintage Talking Pictures channel. There's also a new shopping channel with Must Have Ideas setting up shop on channel 96. The service was previously exclusive to satellite TV such as Sky and on YouTube but a retune will now add the channel to your service. Millions of Freeview watchers can also enjoy three new channels this month. Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into a number of channels including ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes.
