Amy Childs has revealed she is already in training to run the London Marathon next year.

The former star of The Only Way Is Essex - who went head-to-head with Made In Chelsea's Millie Mackintosh in the Nature Valley Games - is taking her ambition to run the marathon seriously and is positive about her fitness levels.

Amy said: "I love my fitness. I love running, and I'm running the marathon next year so I do enjoy my fitness."

The 22-year-old, who recently released her own fitness DVD, also confessed: "I am really competitive."

Amy, who revealed she is working on her own TV show, It's All About Amy, admitted she would love to go to Hollywood like fellow former TOWIE star Mark Wright, but is focusing on conquering Britain first.

She said: "I'd love to go to Hollywood. I'd love to hit LA, but at the minute I've got to proper hit England, and then I'll hit LA after."
