Charlotte:

“If I don’t slow down, I’ll have a breakdown”

- By Lily Smith

She’s hit the headlines for S all the wrong reasons in the last few weeks, most recently pictured looking worse for wear and covered in vomit after a boozy night out.

And now, Charlotte Crosby, who broke down in tears after being targeted by cruel trolls in the summer, tells Closer that her fast-paced and hectic lifestyle, along with the partying, has left her feeling on the verge of a breakdown.

She says, “The thing is, I can’t say no to anything, and I’m lucky if I have one day off a week. But I am addicted to work. I have to slow down soon, so I don’t have a breakdown. There’s been a lot of pressure.”

The reality star, 28, has been raising eyebrows for her outrageous behaviour and outlandish partying since rising to fame on Geordie Shore in 2011, and is renowned for wetting herself and vomiting on TV.

EMOTIONAL

Charlotte – who currently stars in selftitled reality series The Charlotte Show – has also worried fans with her emotional meltdowns, sobbing on her Snapchat last year over her tempestuou­s relationsh­ip with Stephen Bear, and breaking down on TV as she discussed ex Gary Beadle.

And while Charlotte is now happily loved-up with Ex On The Beach’s Josh Ritchie – whom she’s been dating since last December – she admits that blazing rows between the two have led her to consider couples’ counsellin­g.

She says, “Things with Josh are going well, but he’s got the temper of Satan.

***** He can turn into an evil b d. We were filming and the camera crew actually stopped and started giving us counsellin­g because we’d been arguing solidly for three hours. I think couples’ counsellin­g would definitely be an idea.”

Charlotte has also broken down publicly in reaction to trolls’ comments about her weight and appearance – even revealing in her 2017 autobiogra­phy that she suffered from body dysmorphia.

COSMETIC SURGERY

But the star – who’s had two nose jobs, lip fillers, Botox and most recently a boob job – says boyfriend Josh makes her feel beautiful, and that she’s ruled out going under the knife again. She says, “I feel happy with how I look because Josh loves me. I had my boobs done last November, but I don’t want any more surgery.”

And Charlotte – who released a fitness DVD in 2016 after losing 2st 7lbs – adds that she’s not putting pressure on herself to work out, and has eased off her strict exercise regime. “I did a DVD and bestsellin­g fitness book, but I’m so unfit now! I just have no time to work out,” she says.

And while Charlotte – whose hectic filming schedule includes hosting Just Tattoo Of Us, a show that puts relationsh­ips to the test by asking couples to design tattoos for each other – previously told Closer she couldn’t wait for motherhood, she now insists she isn’t ready just yet.

“Josh and I will get engaged, but not any time soon,” she says. “And you can’t rush having babies. You can’t just go out and party, because you’d be concentrat­ing on the child. I want to spend more time making amazing memories with Josh before I worry about children.”
