CHARLOTTE ANNOUNCES BABY NEWS ON STAGE

Singer Charlotte Church wowed fans at a gig by announcing she and boyfriend Jonathan are expecting their first child together

-

She stunned fans at a gig last week when she told the crowd she was pregnant with her third child, proudly cradling her baby bump on stage in a revealing metallic and sequinned outfit.

Charlotte Church, 31, received congratula­tory cheers from the excited crowd at Birmingham Pride about her newest arrival, which is due in November – and admits she feels “brilliant” being pregnant third time around.

COUNTRY LIVING

In a rare interview in 2012, Charlotte, who’s mum to Ruby, nine, and Dexter, eight, with her ex-fiancé, rugby ace Gavin Henson, revealed she’d like to have a “couple more” children with Jonathan, who is an old family friend.

A source says: “Charlotte’s thrilled to be pregnant again – she says she can’t wait to have a baby with Jonathan. She’s also excited that Ruby and Dexter will have a sibling to play with.”

Last year, when asked if she planned to add to the fourstrong family, she answered: “Maybe. I never rule anything out. I’ve got a bit of time. We’ll just see how it goes.”

Charlotte’s low-key life at her £1.5m country home in south Wales is a far cry from when she was dubbed a “wild child” for her partying and drinking days – and she now prefers a quiet home life, saying: “It’s great, it’s lovely… I don’t know if I’ll ever be a party girl again.”

WORKING MUM

In 2014, the former classical music singer – who was reportedly worth £25m when she was 17 after rising to fame at just 11 – said she’d have to work the rest of her adult life after admitting the millions she made as a child star had dried up.

And the outspoken star – who had a public fall-out with Piers Morgan on Twitter over the Manchester bombings – has told pals she’ll continue political campaignin­g for women’s rights after she’s given birth.
