CHARLOTTE Crosby has admitted her fiancé Jake Ankers was "devastated" after discovering he was having another daughter. The pregnant star and Jake discovered the gender of their second child on a sun-kissed trip to the Maldives. Canons had puffed pink smoke into the air to signal a girl and, although Charlotte cried with happiness, Jake was not impressed, as he wanted a boy.
