The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs looks mint on night out with new boyfriend Joe

She's known for wearing tight outfits to show off her toned figure.

But last night The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs went for a new look when she stepped out wearing an elegant and chic mint green dress for a date with her broker boyfriend Joe.

The 20-year-old redhead smiled for photographers as she and Joe arrived back at the May Fair hotel after a meal at the exclusive Nobu Berkeley restaurant.

And, clearly keen to show off her pretty dress, which she teamed with black heels and a matching clutch bag, Amy continued to pose sexily for photographers until she was pulled inside the hotel by Joe, who was clearly keen to call it a night.

Earlier in the evening, Amy had revealed she was excited about her evening out, tweeting fans: 'Having nice day off today.... Looking forward to tonight with joe xxx'

Talking recently about her relationship with Joe, whose surname is unknown, Amy said: 'Joe is so lovely and he treats me so well. I'm just really happy at the moment.'

In fact, she and Joe have been friends for years but nothing ever happened between them because she was dating Joe's friend Kirk Norcross - a relationship viewers of the ITV2 show were treated to glimpses of throughout the first series.

Amy added: 'I've known him for years - I used to give him massages. But nothing happened between us at first because of the Kirk thing. It's going really well. He's so sweet.'

However, as they've only been dating for a few weeks, Amy is still unsure whether Joe is 'The One', adding: 'It's so hard to say because it's all new and very early days.'

Meanwhile, Amy has denied claims she is the highest-paid star of The Only Way Is Essex - over co-stars including Sam Faiers and Mark Wright.

She tweeted earlier this week: 'All this rubbish about me being the most paid TOWIE star is a load of rubbish.

'We all get treated the same I am not a DIVA I'm still normal girl ha ... Sorry got to be said.'

Ashley Cole 'splits from Kayla Collins'

Ashley Cole has reportedly split from I'm A Celebrity... star Kayla Collins.

The pair ended their five-week relationship following an argument at the P Diddy playback party on Thursday, The Sun reports.

A source said: "Ashley and Kayla enjoyed their time together but knew a long-term future was unlikely. Kayla went back to the States over Christmas and Ashley was looking forward to meeting up with her afterwards but that was it - nothing more.

"Both have heavy work commitments and Ashley has just come out of a high-profile relationship so it just wasn't the right time to start getting serious."

The Playboy model apparently left London's Pigalle Club in tears after becoming unhappy that Cole was spending more time with his friends and flirting with female fans.

Pink defends controversial music video

Pink has defended the controversial music video for her latest single 'F**kin' Perfect'.

The singer took to her website to explain the clip, which features a sex scene and a girl cutting her wrists in a bath.

She said: "I'm sure my newest video for 'F**kin' Perfect' will be much like some of my other videos, which basically means I expect it will ruffle some feathers... I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may p*ss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion [and] that is my intention.

"Cutting, and suicide - two very different symptoms of the same problem - are gaining on us... A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favourite rehab.

"It's a problem, and it's something we should talk about. We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won't make it go away. I don't support or encourage suicide or cutting. I support the kids out there... I want them to know I'm aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that's all it takes."
