You can take the girl out of Essex... Amy Childs struts around town in the tiniest of dresses

t was observed earlier this week that Amy Childs had been surprisingly demure compared to the skimpy bikinis of her co-stars.

But The Only Way Is Essex star turned it around today by stepping out in Marbella in the shortest of mini dresses.

Amy paraded around town in a floral number that would be considered a top by most people.

Amy added heels for extra Essex-style glamour, and wore a bright yellow bikini beneath.

Her hair was twisted into a Heidi-style braided up 'do, perhaps from the photoshoot she took part in today.
