In May, the presenter posted another rare snap of her family as they all posed together for the VE Day celebrations.
In 2018, Charlotte, who gave birth to Ella when she was 39, described the process of trying to conceive with husband Mark as a ‘stressful time’.
The TV veteran spoke candidly about trying for a baby later in life, and how she was ‘amazed’ she brought her daughter into the world.

Charlotte – who married husband Mark in 2008 – explained to the Mirror: ‘We tried for a few years, and I’d got to the stage where I was worried because it just wasn’t happening.
‘It was a stressful time but I still look at her now and am amazed at the fact that we created this little being, but it still sometimes scares me thinking how different our life would have been if we hadn’t had her.’
In 2014, Charlotte confessed that she and husband Mark almost went down the route of IVF treatment when she found out she was pregnant.
‘It took a long while for it to sink in I was pregnant because we’d been trying for quite some time,’ she said.
