She's arguably the Queen of TOWIE but Amy Childs has now opened up about her heartbreaking time at school.
Despite later on becoming head girl at her secondary school, life at school wasn't always easy for Amy.
In fact, on TOWIE's new spin-off show, Closer can exclusively reveal that the mum-of-two has opened up about her childhood and admitted she found school "hard".
"I was diagnosed with Dyslexia at four years of age.
"The teachers, they said I was very behind, I had a short memory loss and I was always bottom of the class," she explained.
Amy went on to say, "I didn’t get bullied, nothing like that, I had a lovely group of friends but day-to day life at school was very hard for me."
However things changed as she grew older and got to secondary school.
"When I got to secondary, I feel like I came out of myself. I started to get confident, I was good at speaking, I was good at sports, I was good at drama.
"Sometimes in life you don’t have to be the cleverest, I just had something very different."
And it sounds like talent ran in Amy's school because not only did her teacher think she'd become a celeb but Gemma Collins also went to there when she was younger.
"I remember my Science teacher telling me when I was 15, when I was going through my GCSE’s, he said to me, ‘You’re going to be famous when you’re older’."

She added, "Gemma Collins was at my secondary school, but Gemma was ten years older than me so I didn’t really know her at school.
"But what I did hear about Gemma though, she was head girl, as well as me. I was actually head girl."
Last year, after TOWIE celebrated its 10-year anniversary Amy returned to the ITVBe show full time.
However following her return there's been a bit of drama after her friend Bobby Norris hit out at her cousin Harry Derbidge who returned to the show full-time for series 28.
While Harry has insisted he didn't sleep with his ex-boyfriend seven years ago, Bobby has argued that he did and even posted a video of Harry's confession on TOWIE year ago.
Bobby has since announced he's taking a break from the show and he even branded the drama as "heartbreaking" and "disgusting".
There will be a new episode of TOWIE: The Story Of... every Tuesday and tonight's episode goes live at 5.30pm on both @TOWIE IGTV and The Only Way Is Essex YouTube.
