Amy added: "We start filming for the new series in two or three weeks time.
"I think we’ll be doing Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and I’ll be around 27 weeks then – so it’ll be tough for me.
"I’m looking forward to it though, I’m excited to be back filming because I love it. I really do."
As for whether she will let cameras film her impending birth, the beauty expert admitted she hasn't decided yet.
Amy explained: "There’s a few talks here and there about filming the run-up to my birth, but I’m not sure yet.
"I don’t want to commit to anything that might not be possible, but that’s all I can probably say for the minute…"
