During the chat, Charlotte who said she wants to offer children an alternative to private schooling to help with their festive talents also spoke about the treatment of her when when she was a young singer.
She said: ‘There was a countdown to me losing my virginity. The Sun had done a countdown then Chris Moyles talked about it on Radio One. It was all a bit gross really.
‘We’ve come a certain way but there’s a long way to go in terms of feminism and equality but there’s bigots everywhere and hopefully we can heal them all. Maybe some of them will just have to die out.’

Speaking of her transition into pop music she also revealed: ‘I just wanted to be cool. I wanted to be an R NB superstar.
Charlotte also spoke fondly of working with Julie Andrews adding: ‘Julie Andrews is a much better version of the Queen. F the Queen the Queen can go. Let’s have Julie Andrews.’
Earlier, Charlotte was on This Morning talking from her home when Holly, 40, first revealed the news.
Holly said: ‘You’ve got three kids now!’ to Charlotte, who is already mum to two children Ruby, 12, and Dexter, 11, with former Wales rugby player Gavin Henson.
Holly appears to have left slip that Charlotte has given birth despite there being no prior announcement from the songstress.
She said: ‘You’ve got the three kids now. How is home schooling?’, as Charlotte replied: ‘I’ve been homeschooling my own children now for a few years now.’
Charlotte’s appearance was to plug her work with Comic Relief and the English National Opera, where she is training comics including Jennifer Saunders and Caroline Quentine to learn to sing opera ahead of a live performance.
Of the show, she said: ‘So we’ve got five amazing comedians who are going to extend their skills set to include opera singers, it’s a serious challenge, an epic challenge, so much fun.’
The big reveal? Earlier in the day, Holly appeared to confirm Charlotte has given birth to her third child during an appearance on This Morning
Charlotte announced she was pregnant to fans in a low-key tweet in March revealing she was pulling out of a charity concert because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The former opera singer and Jonathan married in a secret ceremony in October 2017 three months after she announced the couple had suffered a miscarriage.
Charlotte told fans on Twitter that she was not taking any chances with her health, after pulling out of the charity concert to raise money for flood victims in Wales.
She tweeted: ‘Gutted to have missed it. I’m preggers so I’m airing on the side of caution in terms of virus. It looks like it was a great success. X’.
There she is! Charlotte chatted fondly to the duo as Holly asked her the loaded question
In June 2017, Charlotte and Jonathan faced tragedy when she sadly suffered a miscarriage.
A statement posted to her Twitter account at the time read: ‘Charlotte and Jonny are very sad to announce that they lost their baby. Now is a time for grieving and being together as a family. We kindly ask everyone to respect that peace.’
The star had announced she was pregnant with her third child as she performed on stage at Birmingham Pride in late May of that year.

And the ‘Call My Name’ hitmaker previously admitted she had wanted another child for some time because she had really enjoyed being pregnant.
