Who is Celebs Go Dating star Charlotte Dawson?

She burst onto screens in MTV reality programme Ex On The Beach and the lass also looked for love on E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Where is Charlotte Dawson from, how old is she and who are her parents?
Make-up artist Charlotte is from Manchester – despite claiming on Twitter her location is “hiding in your toe.”
The bubbly northern lass was born on October 3, 1992.
Her dad was former comedy legend Les, who died in 1993 when she was just eight months old.
Les was at a routine hospital appointment in Manchester and awaiting the results when he suffered a major heart attack and died.
Her mum Tracy then raised her alone.
How does Charlotte Dawson keep dad Les’ memory alive?
Charlotte and mum Tracy often visit his memorial, a bronze statue erected 15 years after his passing, in Lytham St Anne’s.
They also hold a vigil on Christmas Day and munch their festive lunch in the family home, close to his ashes in the garden.
Thoughtful Tracy put a video clip showing Les welcoming newborn Charlotte home into safe-keeping for when her daughter grew up.
Charlotte told the Sunday Mirror: “I am so lucky to have this footage.
“It is heartbreaking.
“But my mum has always kept my dad alive for me.”
Is Charlotte in a relationship?
Charlotte is engaged and expecting her first baby with Matt Sarsfield.
Matt proposed to her by the statue of her late father.
Despite splitting back in 2017, the couple are now looking strong as they prepare to welcome a baby boy into the world in February 2021.
Before hooking up with the Swintons Lions star, she had a brief fling with BFF Jemma Lucy but has since admitted their ‘romance’ was fake.
She hooked up with co-star Frankie Cocozza on Celebs Go Dating, but the relationship didn’t last.

What TV programmes has Charlotte Dawson been on?
She flirted up a storm in the racy MTV show Ex on the Beach back in 2016.
After bedding Geordie Shore’s Gaz Beadle in a saucy threesome, she was left panic-stricken when her ex Alex arrived on the sun-soaked island.
She was then forced to chose between Alex and Manchester lad Jordan Davies, eventually opting to spend some more time with “stubborn” Alex.
In 2018 she appeared on Celebs on the Farm.
In 2020 she returned to Celebs Go Dating, following her previous stint in 2018.
What was Charlotte’s most controversial moment on Ex on the Beach?
Unquestionably it was her lustful hook-up with Gaz Beadle.
The Geordie Shore hunk got down and dirty with new arrival Charlotte and Olivia Walsh – with Charlotte bluntly telling the camera she “wouldn’t say no” to a threesome.
Following a huge row after housemate Chloe was kicked out of the show – Gaz invited Charlotte to the penthouse for some drama free time. On the way, they bumped into Olivia, who decided to join them.
Charlotte, Gary and Olivia were seen kissing before concealing themselves under the duvet for their X-rated romp.
It was first reported Gaz had the threesome in April, despite his on-off romance with Charlotte Crosby being stronger than ever.
