When we chat to Celebs Go Dating and Ex On The Beach star Charlotte Dawson, she’s every bit as funny as you’d expect. Down-to-earth and self-deprecating, our Char is a breath of fresh air.

The 28-year-old, who is expecting a baby boy with her fiancé Matthew Sarsfield in February, is super-excited about the Christmas period and we were lucky enough to get a peek inside her amazingly decorated pad for our exclusive shoot.

And in spite of suffering with gestational diabetes and with the pandemic still wreaking havoc across the world, Chazza is feeling more festive than ever.

“I’m so excited and I’m a really Christmassy person, so I’ll definitely pull out all the stops to get in the spirit,” Charlotte tells us.

She also reminisces on past Christmases and her drunken antics over the years. “Back in the day I used to go out Christmas Eve and I’d always completely ruin Christmas Day,” she reveals. “One Christmas I was an absolute mess and I missed Christmas dinner because I fell asleep. I was like, ‘Why do I do it to myself?’”

In our fun chat, we talk all things Crimbo, family traditions and how she pays tribute to her father, the late comedy legend Les Dawson, over the holidays…

Hi, Charlotte! Your home is looking very Christmassy…
