During a Q&A session, she was asked how long they had been dating, replying: ‘Seven months. It feels like a year the amount of stuff we’ve already experienced and been through together trust.

‘Actually I think it’s technically only six-and-a-half but I like to round up.’

Charlotte came to fame on the first series of Geordie Shore, in 2011, and has been a staple of our screens ever since.

In the first few episodes, she became close to co-star Gaz Beadle, with the pair embarking on an on-off romance over the years.

They went their separate ways in 2016, after , which led to her undergoing surgery to remove her fallopian tube.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants outside the womb, most often in the fallopian tube – and is fairly common but can be life-threatening.

It is not possible to move an ectopic pregnancy into the womb to develop normally and, as the pregnancy grows, it can damage the fallopian tube or cause it to burst.

The chances of having a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy are good.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk in a previous interview, she explained that she was forced to confront her fertility when she hadn’t really thought about it before.

‘I’d never really thought seriously about having children and starting a family and getting pregnant, but I did after the operation,’ she said. 

‘I was all of a sudden so scared that it would be harder for me, would it even happen for me. But the doctor did reassure me that I would be able to have children.

‘I can have a family as big as I want.’
