CHARLOTTE Dawson opened up about splitting with fiance Matthew Sarfield before being ‘blindsided and humiliated’ by his ‘secret dirty texts’ to another woman.
Last week it was revealed that friends of the former Ex On The Beach star claimed rugby league player Matt sent intimate messages to someone else.
Since then Charlotte flashed a smile as she got all dolled up after feeling “blindsided and humiliated” by the telling messages, and she ‘vowed to put her kids first’.
In the most recent episode of her podcast Naughty Corner, which came out today, Charlotte spoke about her relationship with Matt.
“Me and Matthew, we bicker like an old married couple,” she told guest Corrie star Helen Flanagan.
“We do argue. I think it’s healthy to argue. It’s hard.
“You put pictures on Instagram looking all happy, because that’s what we do, we don’t put all the bad times on Instagram because you just don’t.”
Helen then went on to talk about arguing while in a relationship and her split from Scott Sinclair.
The pair, who share Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and three-year-old Charlie, split in 2022 after 13 years together.
Charlotte told the actress: “Me and Matt would hate each other if we separated.”
She then asked if she’d had sex with her ex since breaking up, to which she said: “I couldn’t possibly answer that”.
Charlotte confessed: “I think me and Matthew would be at it like rabbits if we broke up because we actually said to each other…
“Imagine if we broke up, and we had to go and drop the kids off, we would probably just end up doing it.”
She added: “I don’t know how to be single.
“I don’t know what I would do, because obviously I’ve been with Matthew for like eight years.
“I just couldn’t imagine doing the whole dating thing.
Here is her emotional statement in full.
In a message posted on Instagram she said: “I’ve had loads of messages regarding mine and Matthew’s relationship and I wanted to just be honest with all of you as I navigate through this.
“I was in complete shock and devastated.
“Whilst so many of you have been kind and caring, there have been a number of people that have said I’ve sold this story for money.
“This is completely fales and I would never do this to my family or myself.
“The story was sold by the girl and I have no idea who she is.
“I’m extremely hurt, upset and disappointed about the situation.
“It’s hard enough going through something like this in private, let alone publicly.
“My only focus right now is on my beautiful boys as they are my main priority.
“Thank you to everyone who has shared their love and support. It doesn’t go unnoticed.”
Charlotte, 31, has been engaged to her partner Matt Sarsfield since September 2020.
“I just don’t think I’ve got a chat in me.
“When we go out for dinner we don’t speak.
“All we do is talk about the kids. I can’t be arsed chatting. I can’t be arsed chatting to a new person.”
Charlotte looked downcast when she was seen for the first time last week after reports that Matt had sent dirty texts to another woman.
She was spotted in public as she headed to a party for her one year old son Jude.
The star thew a birthday party for their one-year-old son.
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.”
Today The Sun revealed her family are “begging” her to leave Matt.
A source told us: “Charlotte has been left humiliated and devastated about what has happened.
“It’s really hard for her friends and family to see and they are begging her to leave him.
“They have had rows in the past, but nothing like this and those close to her thinks he’s gone too far this time.
“Everyone thinks she deserves the world and they are just not sure that Matt is part of that anymore.”

The pair got engaged in 2020.
