The 39-year-old actress - who previously played Janine Butcher in 'EastEnders' - is to release a range of premium sex toys after setting up a new company called Crazy Curiosity Ltd.
A source explained: "Charlie feels there’s a real gap in the market for some sexy yet affordable toys. She’s signed a deal and is excited to branch out into a whole new area."
The actress - who first starred in 'EastEnders' back in 1999 - is keen to follow in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow, who owns a lifestyle brand called Goop.
Charlie has been approached by Ann Summers to design a range of vibrators, which are poised to launch in 2021.
The insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Gwyneth Paltrow has really made a name for herself Stateside, so Charlie would love to re-create something similar over here.
"Each toy will have a different name, and one option mooted was The Butcher after her 'EastEnders' character. But Charlie worries 'The Butcher' might not appeal to women hoping to find solo pleasure - it doesn’t really shout 'sexy'."
Charlie previously admitted she's relished working in theatre since leaving the BBC soap.
The actress - who last appeared in 'EastEnders' in 2014 - said: "I’ve always wanted to do more theatre and I couldn’t really do it when I was in 'EastEnders'.
"Being in control of your own fate on the stage is exhilarating because it’s live and it’s instant and I like exploring different things. I feel quite free on stage, weirdly.
"Even though on the first night, I would literally rather be run over by a bus than go out there. I’m terrified but it’s all right, you have to work with it."
