It's my (friend's) party and I'll cry if I want to: Amy Childs looks awkward around ex-TOWIE co-stars at Joey Essex's 21st

Golden girl: Amy Childs opts for metallic chic at Joey Essex's 21st birthday party at the Sugar Hut Club in Brentwood

It was meant to be a time for celebrating, but Amy Childs could barely manage a smile last night at Joey Essex's 21st birthday party.

While she clearly dazzled in her metallic chic attire, the This Morning presenter looked like she'd rather be tucked up in bed than socialising.

Dressed in a gold dress and heels to match, Amy gripped a silver clutch bag and polished off the outfit with a grimace.


Chin up: Camera-loving Amy didn't seem too happy to see the photographers


Despite her usual flair for posing, the 21-year-old seemed distracted and more interested in getting home than seducing the cameras.

Perhaps she was less than thrilled to see former co-star James Argent.

The chunky wedding singer bragged earlier this week that the third series of the ITV2 show will be just as successful following her departure.

The 23-year-old insists the next dose of action from the TOWIE crew will soar in the ratings stakes, with viewing figures set to 'hit the roof'.

He also branded Amy as little more than a fame-seeker, saying she 'aspires to be someone like a Kerry Katona or a Jordan.'

She obviously wasn't in the mood from the beginning, choosing to take the car instead of relying on a taxi following a night of indulging on alcohol.
