Charlotte Dawson's baby joy - TV celeb announces she is pregnant with first child with boyfriend Matthew Sarsfield

The reality TV celebrity, influencer and daughter of comedian Les Dawson, has also revealed their due date is within a week of what would be her late father’s birthday- the telly legend’s 90th - February 2.

The former make-up artist, who grew up on the Fylde coast, was just eight months old when her father died from a heart attack, aged 62.

In a big reveal on her Instagram to her 876,000 followers, the 27-year-old said: “The most special thing of all, our little angel is due exactly a week before my Dad’s 90th birthday.

“Which is so crazy and means so much. There’s every chance I could give birth on his birthday. What a tribute that would be!”

In an interview with OK Magazine Charlotte added:”My dad would have been the best grandad in the world - it breaks my heart, he would have been so hands on.”

Charlotte, and former Swinton Rugby League player Matthew, who have been together for four years, had parted ways earlier this year; the couple have been quite open with their relationship issues, even documenting their therapy for the TV cameras on hit show Celebs Go Dating.

Charlotte, who now lives in Manchester, is a regular visitor to Lytham where her mother Tracy still lives in the family home; often visiting her father’s memorial, a bronze statue, sculpted by

Graham Ibbeson and erected 15 years after his death, in the Sunken Gardens in North Promenade.

Charlotte posted one of her last visits with her mother Tracy in June to mark the 27th anniversary of her father’s death.
