Amy Childs shows off daughter Polly’s room in new £1.7 million mansion and the seven-year-old even has her own en suite
THERE are very few seven-year-olds who can boast that they’ve got their own en suite.
But Amy Childs‘ lucky daughter Polly is one of them.
The Only Way Is Essex star has been regularly sharing pictures and videos since she and fiance Billy Delbosq moved into their new £1.7 million mansion earlier this year.
And her latest video showed Polly’s room, as Amy admitted it was a “blank canvas” for an interior designer to work with.
But it was the addition of the en suite that fans were really interested in.
Amy took the camera around the bare room, with a sole Squishmallow toy the only sign that it belonged to a little girl.
She showed off the wardrobe, which featured an interesting trellis mirror design, and teased Polly’s balcony – as it could only just be seen in the shot.
She then ventured into the bathroom, which had a shower, toilet and sink, along with a cute fluffy pink bath mat.
“So this is Polly’s room,” Amy wrote on the post on her Instagram Stories.
“We have an interior designer on board starting soon.
“I can’t wait to see what Polly’s room is going to look like.
“Right now it’s a blank canvas. I love her en suite!”
Amy previously called her sprawling Essex house her “dream home”, and insisted she would “never get bored” of it.
But since sharing footage of the property on her social media pages, she has faced criticism that the house is not suitable for kids.
And she has four of them – Polly, Ritchie and twins Milly and Billy.
In the comments section on a video of her incredible staircase, one person wrote: “Beautiful but all I can see is someone falling down the stairs and through the glass.”
“Such a beautiful home but gives me pure mum anxiety of the kids climbing over the glass,” another added.
How to child-proof your home
AS Amy Childs faces criticism that her lavish new home may not be suitable for kids, here's some quick and easy ways you can child-proof your house.
One thing that Amy will have to do pretty quickly is to install stair gates and the top and bottom of the staircase. This is vital, especially once children are on the move – either walking or crawling.
She will also have to child-proof her kitchen. Kitchen cupboards are a thing of wonder for babies, as they seem to be full of things to play with, and delicious things to eat. So make sure you install locks on all the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen – particularly the ones containing cleaning products, or anything sharp and dangerous.
Slipping could be a real issue in a house like Amy and Billy’s, with so much marble flooring. Socks with grippers on them could be a good idea, while it will also be important for them to put protectors on sharp corners of furniture to prevent any unfortunate head bumps.
And pulling electrical cords out of the way is also an important child-proofing step. Once again, if children see loose cords, their natural instinct is to pull them, which could potentially result in serious accidents.

“Oh it’s beautiful but my anxiety would be too much for the stairs and glass!” a third commented.
“It’s nice home but just couldn’t with children – not a home for kids,” someone else wrote.
But others defended Amy, with one writing: “That glass is probably as thick as a window to be fair!”
“She’s got 4 kids so no doubt she’s gonna have stair gates up,” another added.
“Absolutely stunning,” a third said.
“I’m a tad jel I can’t lie but congratulations you both worked hard for this. ignore the hate.”
