The star has since revealed that she turned to the Celebrity Dating Agency to help her find love after admitting Gogglebox had a serious impact on her love life.

Speaking to , she explained, "It can be a hindrance - I think you get a bit like ‘are they (lads) actually interested in me?’ or do they actually want to see what it's like to be in the public eye?'

"It all depends really. In my early teenage years, I didn't want to get a boyfriend but now I've grown up a bit more and finding myself a bit more.

"In knowing what I want though, I just want a bit of help, so I came to the agency."

While Amy has undoubtedly been on several dates, The Sun previously reported that she had "fallen head over heels" for Love Island star Eyal Booker.

But Amy is likely to have some competition for the 22-year-old, with Eyal reportedly very popular among his co-stars, which include fellow Love Island export Olivia Attwood and TOWIE mainstay Chloe Sims.

An insider revealed, "Everyone in the cast and crew has fallen head over heels for Eyal's charm. Everyone from Chloe to Olivia think he's so fit and such a nice guy.

"Amy is really taken with him. He's the talk of the show - he's so intense when he speaks to you, it's hard not to fall for him.

"Bosses are actually worried that the celebs will want to date him, not the people lined up by the dating agency.

"But if any of the girls do make a move, they're set to have their heartbroken. Eyal's taking it very seriously and has his heart set on meeting someone special.

"The show's actually had loads of people apply to date him - they're overwhelmed with applications!"
