The following month, Charlotte opened up to OK! about her childbirth experience and discussed how her relationship with her family has evolved since the birth of her daughter.
She stated: “We went through a real ‘hate’ phase when I first got pregnant but we’re friends again now and she’s been great, and my mum, well, she’s basically taken on the role of the father.
“She’ll get the bottles sterilised for me, she’ll take the baby when I need it, she’ll make sure I eat dinner, because it’s so easy to get through the day without eating anything. It’s the best diet in the world, looking after a newborn. The weight has come off me.”
