Charlotte Crosby, reality TV star turned entrepreneur, is just days away from welcoming her second baby, and she’s not sugar-coating how tough this pregnancy has been. The 34-year-old, who is expecting another baby girl with fiancé Jake Ankers, is having a rough ride in her final trimester. “I’m just surviving at this point,” she laughs when we catch up on a video call.
“I’m so ready to have this baby now. I can’t wait. I’ve been throwing up all morning! I was still being sick right up until I had my first baby, and it’s been the same this time. I actually hadn’t been sick for about three weeks, and I thought it was over – but then, wow, this morning it hit me like a ton of bricks.”.
Despite the challenges, Charlotte, mum to two-year-old Alba, is powering through. “Honestly, there’s nothing harder than being pregnant with a toddler. It should be an Olympic sport – mums deserve medals for this!”. Charlotte and Jake, also 34, announced they are to become parents again back in September – with a video on Instagram. The end of the clip shows Charlotte on a beach with her fiancé and Alba, before displaying her bump and a sonogram photo. Weeks later they revealed the gender of the baby when they let off smoke cannons while on holiday in the Maldives – surrounding them in clouds of pink to indicate a girl.
And, while it was a beautiful moment, Charlotte says Jake didn’t take the gender news as you might expect. “He wanted a boy so bad,” she says. “I don’t want to ruin his reaction – because it was a big one, but we’re filming a TV show at the minute and we filmed the whole gender reveal, so I don’t want to give too much away, but he was devastated. Now, he’s come round to the idea, so it’s all good.”.
