What’s next for Amy Childs?

When The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs left the Celebrity Big Brother house last year, it looked like she had the world at her stiletto-clad feet.

But now, after her reality show It's All About Amy failed to attract the ratings that Channel 5 bosses hoped for, it looks like the 21-year-old is back at square one.

It's All About Amy has reportedly been cancelled after just one series and PA News reported that a Channel 5 spokesperson said:

"The show was commissioned as an eight-part series looking at Amy Childs' life in the period immediately after her successful stint in the Big Brother house. We are currently talking to Amy about other opportunities on the channel."

While this news is likely to be a blow for the television star, Amy isn't giving up on the fame-game that easily - The Sun recently reported that she "begged" ITV bosses to let her star on next year's Dancing On Ice and she's also starring on Let's Dance For Sport Relief with her cousin TOWIE star Harry Derbidge.

But, is Amy just clutching at straws in hope of remaining in the television spotlight or does she have some kind of genius master plan up her sleeve? We take a look at what Amy could do next...

Create a rival show to The Only Way Is Essex

They say you should never bite the hand that feeds you and by leaving TOWIE last year, Amy Childs is likely to have rubbed ITV bosses up the wrong way. So, it's unlikely that Amy will ever go back on TOWIE, but that's not to say she can't make her own Essex-inspired reality show to rival it.

Yes, rumour has it that Amy's younger cousin Harry Derbidge is set on creating his own version of TOWIE with an all new cast and he even told The Sun:

"No one can take away the vajazzles, the honeys, the professionals, the 100 percents, well-jels, the shut-ups. I'd 100% love to set up a rival show with the others that have left."

Could Amy come and be the queen bee of Harry's rival show? Well, you know what they say - if you can't beat them... then make a cheap copy.

Go on a dating show

These days it seems that we can't get enough of television dating shows - from Take Me Out to Playing It Straight we're hooked. So, Amy could jump on the heart-shaped bandwagon and star or present her very own dating show.

Former TOWIE star Mark Wright has spotted the opportunity and is now the presenter of Take Me Out's sister show Take Me Out The Gossip, so Amy could take a leaf out of his book and do something similar.

What's more, with rumours that Amy may be lined up to feature in the dating show The Bachelorette, she could do one better than Mark Wright and have a show that's all about her. Oh hang on, hasn't she done that before?

Become a television presenter

The most natural transition for Amy would be to go into television presenting and the 21-year-old has already given it a go on her beauty slot on This Morning, which was actually really good.

With her beautician background, we imagine that she'd actually be great at hosting her own beauty-themed show.

We're thinking Gok Won with more vajazzle. Failing that, she could always try flogging her beauty products on a shopping channel...

Marry Peter Andre

With the constant comparisons between Amy and her idol Katie Price, she might as well follow in the glamour model's footsteps and just marry Peter Andre.

Not only does Amy Andre have a great ring to it, but the pair would make reality TV gold - we can imagine their show (which could be called something like Amy and Peter- The First Chapter) would attract viewers by the millions especially if Katie Price made the odd cameo appearance. Awkward.

Go on Dancing On Ice

If the reports of Amy "begging" for a place on next year's Dancing On Ice, ITV bosses are likely to cave-in eventually and let her on the show. After all, they even let Kerry Katona do it!

Kerry used Dancing On Her Ice to re-launch her television career and the stint opened all sorts of TV jobs for her, including Celebrity Wedding Planner. If Amy gets on the ice, maybe she can follow in Kerry's footsteps.

Do a fitness show

Like any self-respecting television star, Amy Childs has recorded her own fitness DVD, so why shouldn't she go one step further and have a whole series focused on her fitness?

She could do a Jodie Marsh and become a body builder, or she could do a Claire from Steps and go to the other extreme... The fact is that, people love watching diet telly, so she might as well cash in on it.
