PREGNANT Charlotte Dawson has hit back at ‘nasty’ trolls after announcing she is pregnant with her third child.
The reality TV star revealed she and fiance Matt are expecting another baby yesterday – despite the relationship being strained after he sent secret ‘dirty texts’ to another woman.
While Charlotte received lots of support from her followers and famous pals last night after her surprise announcement, she also took to social media to reveal she had been hurt by unkind messages.
Hitting back, Charlotte urged people to ‘be kind’ and ranted that there was ‘no need’ for the criticism after ‘the worst time’ of her life.
Writing on her instagram stories, Charlotte initially thanked her supporters, saying : “Thank you for all the support, lovely comments and messages! I’m overwhelmed and will try to get back to everyone but just so you all know, I love you all and very grateful for you all.”
She then turned her attention to the haters, adding: “For the negative ones, remember I’ve had to deal with all this whilst being in my first trimester, which has been extremely tough.
“What’s meant to be the happiest time of your life has been the worst time of my life.”
Charlotte continued: “But every baby is a blessing and I’m so blessed right now. And I’m trying to remain as calm as I can right now and look after this baby.”
She urged: “Please be kind, if you have nothing nice to say, just don’t say it.”
Charlotte concluded her post with a defiant message to her trolls, saying: “Whatever I decide to do, has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s my life, not yours.
“I appreciate all your advice and support but some people get far too involved and nasty. Just no need x”
Announcing her pregnancy this weekend, Charlotte told OK! magazine that she hadn’t made a decision about her future with Matt yet but hoped becoming a dad again would ‘change’ his ways.
She said: “It’s been a crazy time… horrible, having to deal with the heartache, the hurt, and being pregnant too.
“Noah was asking where Daddy was and I don’t want a broken home. I want to do what’s best for my kids. Matthew says he’s going to give everything he’s got to make this work. But I’ve not made a decision on the future of our engagement yet. He needs to change.
“It would be amazing to have a little girl – for Matthew, too. I think being a girl dad will make him a better man, but we’ll see.”
The Sun revealed earlier this week, however, that Charlotte had secretly taken Matt back and the pair were slowly trying to get back on track.
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.
A source told us “Charlotte has missed Matt so much and he’s been spending lots of time back at the house.
“She knows he has done wrong and she won’t forget it, but she’s pretty much forgiven him already.”
