But while she seems more confident than ever, Amy mentioned she was being trolled over her weight as young as age 13.
She said: "When I was younger - I was 13 when I first started filming - I cared a lot about what people thought. I used to search my own name on Twitter.
"But people don't tag you in the them. When I was younger, they used to say horrible things. I don't understand it.
"As I got older, I realised they don't know me. People see me and they think I sit on the coach watching telly, eating crisps, when in reality that's not how I live my life."

Amy first appeared on Channel 4's Gogglebox in 2013 alongside parents Nikki and Jonathan, and brother Josh.
She credited going to the gym with shedding three stone and dropping three dress sizes.
The star said she tried diets but the only thing keeping off the weight was lifestyle changes.
She said: "I want it to be a long term thing and I want it to be forever. I feel a lot better, my energy levels a lot higher, I can do more things."
Amy added: "The gym has been the best thing for me mentally. If I hadn't been to the gym, I don't know where I would have been mentally."

The Celebs Go Dating star followed her dad Jonathan Tapper's lead and took part in and fitness programme.
Her dad shed nearly three stone earlier this year after being diagnosed with diabetes.
Before her new diet, Amy would eat two meals a day - usually scrambled eggs on toast for brunch and then homemade dinner cooked by mum Nikki in the evening.
But on Amy's new diet she is eating up to six times a day.
