It’s not even a week since Amy Childs crashed her £140,000 Range Rover, causing it to flip onto its roof.

But she’s thrown herself back into work, attending the MOBO Awards last night, and she’s even getting back behind the wheel this week.

Speaking exclusively to heat on the MOBOs red carpet, Amy said: “I couldn't be at home feeling sorry for myself – I just had to get back out there. I'm lucky to be alive, I really am and it's just tragic what happened but I'm here.”

The 24-year-old star rolled the car near Napier Arms pub in South Woodford, east London. But she says she won’t let the ordeal stop her from driving again.

She told us: “This week I'm going to start getting back into a car. It feels a little bit scary and I just feel I'm not ready to at the minute, but I'm going to start driving again because If you leave it longer you never get over it, I am having flashbacks but that's just normal. I think I will get the same car again because if I was in any other car they would have had to cut me out the car but I was in a Range Rover.”
