Speaking about how this Christmas will be very different, Charlotte explained how she thinks her sister Samantha will be ‘sad’ as it’ll be the family’s first without Glen. 

Charlotte told New! magazine: ‘I think she’ll be a bit sad this year as she lost her husband to suicide back in June. 

‘That was an absolute nightmare and so traumatic. I just feel so awful for my niece and nephew, but all the more reason to be there for them.’

The mother-to-be explained how she usually visits a memorial statue for her dad, TV icon Les Dawson, on Christmas morning and then heads to her sister’s house.

As she’s pregnant this year, Charlotte said it’ll be noticeably quieter than previous ones where she’s popped Prosecco to open presents or been out partying.  

She also detailed how the last few weeks of pregnancy have been ’emotional’ and said that after her gestational diabetes diagnosis she’s been missing chips and gravy.

Charlotte said: ‘My little boy in my belly is keeping me sane. He’s keeping me going, because I know I’ve got to stay balanced and happy for him.’
