BRAVE Charlotte Dawson threw an incredible first birthday party for her son hours after finding out her fiancé had sent “dirty texts” to another woman.
Shamed Matt was nowhere to be seen after he was accused of a texting scandal.
Charlotte faced their friends and family members without him as she made the tough decision to go ahead instead of cancelling the event.
The Ex On The Beach star, who is also mum to their son Noah, vowed to put her heartache to one side and give Jude the best day.
A source told The Sun: “It was really important for Charlotte to give her son Jude a wonderful first birthday, despite what she had discovered that day.
“She is an incredible mother, who has always put her two sons before anything else.
“Jude’s party was a prime example of her doing this and showing everyone how brave she is.”
Charlotte kicked off the day by having a makeup artist over, getting glammed up, and styling her hair in bouncy curls.
She wore an elegant lace off-the-shoulder baby blue dress paired with blue heels adorned with a bow.
All ready for the party, she showed fans the stunning setup featuring a baby blue, white, and gold balloon garland draped around a sign that read: “The Tale of Jude’s First Birthday.”
She decorated the venue with cartoon-like signposts, plants, stacks of hay, and an adorable balloon arch leading to mini play slides.
On the other side was a play area with a mini ball pit and toys, overlooking a stunning field that stretched for acres.
The expansive venue then welcomed a host of kids, along with Charlotte’s family and friends.
Among the guests was Helen Flanagan, who posed with Charlotte’s son Jude.
With plenty of food, a two-tier birthday cake, music, and live entertainment featuring a bunny fursuit and other Disney-like characters, the guests were thoroughly entertained.
It came after her pals claimed rugby league player Matt sent intimate and “dirty” messages to a mystery woman – leaving his relationship in tatters.
Charlotte has been engaged to her partner Matt since September 2020.
She has two sons, Noah and Jude, with Matt.
A source close to Charlotte told the Mirror: “Naturally, friends are angry that Charlotte has been publicly humiliated by Matt’s actions.
“Such behaviour affects the whole family, particularly their two young sons.
“She’s been completely blindsided by these revelations.
“To say she is hurt is an understatement, and it’s unclear where the relationship lies at the moment.
“Right now, Charlotte is trying to get her head around his actions.
“She’s always stood by Matt, despite some ups and downs in their relationship, and Matt is not just her fiancé, he’s her best mate so this news has been a very hard pill to swallow.”
The Sun previously contacted a rep for Charlotte for comment.
