She recently explained that due to changing her diet to adhere to her gestational diabetes diagnosis, she is missing comfort food and her usual treats.
The daughter of late comedian Les Dawson added that she is ‘just so worried’ about doing anything to her unborn child and of anything happening to him.
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that affects pregnant women, usually during the second or third trimester. It can affect people who didn’t have diabetes before their pregnancy and usually goes away after the birth.
It occurs when the hormones produced during pregnancy make it difficult for your body to use insulin properly, putting you at an increased risk of insulin resistance.
Charlotte told Dr Sophie Newton: ‘I am struggling mentally with everything. It’s mentally draining, feeling like this.’

‘I’m just so worried about doing anything to the baby, that’s what I’m so worried about, of anything happening to him.’
Charlotte added that having a baby during the global coronavirus pandemic hasn’t been easy.
