“I had split up from Ritchie and I was a single mum of two kids under two,” she told The Sun Online. “I was depressed and didn't want to do anything.”
Amy continued: “It wasn't post natal depression or anything I just completely lost myself.
“I love my kids to bits and I am so lucky to have them but I just wasn't myself anymore.

“I am a fun person but I didn't want to do anything.”
