In an interview with OK! last month, Charlotte Crosby opened up about the struggles of her mum’s battle with cancer whilst she is pregnant.

"It just doesn’t even feel like I’m having a baby. But at the same time, it feels like I’ve been pregnant for an eternity. I’ve got so many other things going on in my life – I don’t have time to be nervous about giving birth yet."
