The 28-year-old star has revealed she's suffering from Braxton Hicks - which are also known as false labour pains - as she prepares to welcome her first child with fiance Matt Sarsfield.

Charlotte - who is the daughter of comedy star Les Dawson - said on Instagram: "I've had Braxton Hicks all day I think they are and a few pezza pains does that mean it’s soon.

"So nervy but so excited.

"How is all my beltin followers feeling? My last few weeks I’ve been drained and so hormonal. Love you all. (sic)"

Last month, meanwhile, Charlotte admitted to being "worried" about her unborn baby after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

The 'Ex On The Beach' star revealed she was "struggling mentally" after finding out she has high glucose levels, meaning she's had to change her diet.

Charlotte said: "I am struggling mentally with everything. It’s mentally draining, feeling like this.

"I think it’s probably getting to me as well, if I’m down I usually have chips and gravy … and I can’t! I’m just so worried about doing anything to the baby, that’s what I’m so worried about, of anything happening to him. Having a baby in a pandemic … it’s not easy."

Matthew, on the other hand, has insisted he can't wait to become a dad.

He said that having a baby felt like the "right" step for the couple.

He shared: "We're both ready for this next chapter. We've got a house and we've been together for four years. It feels right."
