Amy Childs says daughter Polly, 2, calls Amy’s father ‘dad’ as she doesn’t speak to jailbird ex Bradley Wright
AMY Childs has revealed her two-year-old daughter Polly calls her father “dad” as she doesn’t see her real one - because he's in jail.
The 29-year-old dated Bradley Wright on and off for years but split after the birth of Polly in 2017 and he is currently behind bars after being sent down for arson.
Amy – who also has a son with another ex Ritchie – revealed she is now looking for a “stable” situation.
While she praised Ritchie’s parenting, she admitted Polly never sees her dad, which is why she sees her grandfather Billy as her father.
She told The Sun Online: “I want a stable family unit. I'm not looking for someone to be my kids’ dads because they have dads but yes I'm looking for someone who will take them on as their own.
“It is hard. Polly's dad is in prison. She doesn't see him.”
The Towie original continued: “Polly calls my dad 'dad'.
“My dad is the only father figure Polly has known. I went to Turkey with my mum and dad and Polly kept calling me mum and my dad, dad.
“It was so strange. Everyone kept thinking me and my dad were together. It was weird. But at the same time my dad is an amazing dad.”
Amy added: “He would never let Polly down. My parents have been brilliant with both the kids.”
The reality star is currently looking for love on Celebs Go Dating because she finds it hard to date while being a single mum.
She explained: “The reality is I have two kids and they are my priority. We come as a package. I am family orientated. I need someone who loves kids. They would need to love my kids.
“It is a lot harder to meet guys as a single mum.
“I can't really go on many dates. That is one of the reasons I signed up to the show.”
