Amy Childs and her daughter Polly are full of Christmas cheer
2017 hasn't been an easy year for Amy Childs. Just months after giving birth to her first child - gorgeous little Polly - in April, she announced her split from Polly's father, Bradley Wright.
Suddenly Amy's perfect family unit had been ripped apart, and the new mum had to embark on the wonderful journey of motherhood alone.
But that wasn't the only love lost from the new mum's life. Heartbreakingly, she revealed she also had to give up her beloved dog Leo after he failed to bond with her baby.

But Amy Childs is a fighter, and since her separation she's made a wonderful life for herself and her gorgeous daughter, and we're so pleased to see that the pair are having a magical first Christmas together!
Taking time out from the special day to update her fans on Instagram, Amy shared a super-cute picture of eight-month-old Polly dressed up in a little Santa costume for the special day!
Proving just how much she's enjoying her first Christmas as a mumma, Amy wrote: 'Merry Christmas my darling polly .... love you more than anything, ❤️🎄 Cheers darling to our first Christmas together ❤"
So gorgeous!
And it's not just us who thought so. Amy's fans were quick to send their good wishes to mother and daughter.
One fan wrote: 'What a little love ❤️ merry Christmas Amy 🎄'
While another added: 'She’s your double Ams beautiful soul xx'
Of course, Amy isn't the only celebrity enjoying their first Christmas as a mum.
Fellow TOWIE star Ferne McCann will also be enjoying her first Christmas as a mother with her daughter, Sunday, and Made In Chelsea's Binky Felstead will be enjoying her first Christmas with her daughter, India.
Talking exclusively to Closer Online earlier in the month, Binky opened up about her plans for India's first Christmas, saying: "Josh keeps buying her elf outfits – she will not be wearing one of those but she's got lots of little outfits to potentially wear."
