Amy, 21, is best known for her role as the red-headed beautician on reality show The Only Way Is Essex.
It has been widely reported that she would appear on the show after it emerged she had quit TOWIE because bosses apparently didn't want her appearing on a rival network.

The American called Brian 'Buttercup' before telling him he 'wouldn't know what it's like' to be entering the house, not realising his background.
Sally Bercow, 41, is likely to stir up trouble in the house, after telling Brian: 'I'll stick two fingers up to the establishment'.
She is the wife of the House of Commons Speaker John Bercow, and revealed he did not know she was entering the house until two days ago.
The stars were announced one-by-one by Brian before arriving on a lit-up stage in front of a live audience.

A short clip was shown of the celebrity before they entered the house through a smokey door and down a spiral staircase.
Meanwhile Irish pop twins Jedward, aka John and Edward Grimes, have vowed to 'fight for hairspray' with the girls in the house.
The 19-year-olds admitted to using up to a bottle a day on their heavily-coiffed hair.
Jedward have made millions since losing X Factor in 2006, after releasing a rendition of Vanilla Ice's Ice, Ice Baby and singing in this year's Eurovision contest.
They arrived in the house wearing tiger-print hooded jackets and trainers with panda soft toys on them.

There was an awkward moment earlier when just Kerry and Tara were in the house.
As the American walked down a spiral staircase into the house to see Kerry waiting, she couldn't understand what the Warrington girl said her name was.
The names have been secret until now but several stars have been rumoured to be entering the house.
Others rumoured to be entering included boxer Ricky Hatton and Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.
Claims that Charlie Sheen would appear have been denied by his representatives.
Katie Price put a stop to rumours she was entering when she was snapped on holiday in the Spanish resort of Marbella with her children and boyfriend Leandro Penna.
Pictures of the luxury pad were released last week showing modern furniture and a bright decor.

Guests arrived via a lit up spiral staircase and were greeted by the plush living room and kitchen area, which also includes a bar, no doubt fully stocked with booze to fuel the drama.
There is a pool in the back garden with an abstract seating area as well as a spacious bathroom, complete with a glass wall, state-of-the-art gym and sauna.
There are 11 beds, including 10 single and one double, meaning two lucky housemates will have to share.
