Late last month, Charlotte took her son Noah to see her father’s bronze statue in Lancashire. The statue was erected in 2008 to honour his legacy.
The television personality documented the emotional moment on Instagram as she held her baby boy up beside his Grandfather Les’s face.
She captioned the Instagram post: ‘What a special day today has been… when Noah met his grandad Les ✨ (well his statue obvs) but this is the start of Noah’s traditions..

‘As you all know I go to my dads statue for special celebrations & I have our beautiful little baba boyo joining us now. How amazing…
‘I wish he was here so badly, he would of been the best grandad to you… but we are so lucky Noah has so much incredible footage for him to get to know his bloody belter of grandad ❤️
‘Thank you @tracydawsonx for being the best mum in the world… Noah’s lucky to have his glam nanny trace around ✨ ‘.
Resemblance: In a sweet video also posted on her Instagram page, Charlotte held her son next to the statue as her mum Tracey commented: ‘They’ve got the same nose’
And Charlotte vowed to teach her baby boy about her late father Les’ memory in a moving clip from MTV’s Celebrity Bumps.
During the video, the reality star broke down in tears as she realised her son will never meet his late grandfather.
In the clip – filmed while Charlotte was still pregnant with her first child – the Ex On The Beach star spoke to her mum Tracy about her life with the late comic, who died in 1993.

In the clip, Charlotte, who was 27 weeks pregnant at the time, paid a visit to her mum Tracy to look at photos of her dad Les, so she can replicate them with her baby son.
The star also revealed she was going to tell Tracy the name she’d chosen for her baby boy as she counted down to the arrival of her bundle of joy with fiancé Matthew.
She announced: ‘We’re going to call him Noah Dawson Sarsfield. The reason why we’re calling him Noah, me and Matthew were drunk four years ago, put the Notebook on you know that really romantic film. And he cried and I thought, “Matthew’s The One”.
‘And then the guy was called Noah on it, and I said ‘I love that name,’ and he said ”me too.” And he said ”if we ever have a little boy let’s call him Noah.” We’ve never gone off it.’
Charlotte’s mum said her dad Les would be ‘so proud’ of his daughter, with the reality star adding in a candid confessional: ‘I am so grateful for my mum because she’s just kept his memory alive so much.’
