Amy Childs - pictured last week leaving Nobu - has revealed how her life has been turned upside down since she shot to fame on the hit reality TV show, The Only Way Is Essex.

The former TOWIE star – who left the show last year – told OK! magazine:

“My life has changed so much and not all of it has been good. We’ve lived in Brentwood for ten years. We never had any problems until I went into TOWIE, but some things have started to go wrong.”

She then explained how her family home has been burgled, her dad’s flower shop has been raided and her brother’s Mercedes has been scratched.

Amy added, “This has all happened since I became famous. I feel so guilty for my family.

“My mum and dad have given me so much support. I understand what happened to Whitney Houston. People are like, ‘It must be great to be famous.’ It is, but they don't know how bad things can happen.”

Wait; what has Whitney got to do with this? Is anybody else confused?!
