Charlotte Crosby throws a lavish first birthday bash for her daughter Alba Jean

'Life has levelled up since I became a mam'

As children’s birthday parties go, the bash Charlotte Crosby threw for her one-year-old daughter Alba Jean last week was right up there with the Kardashians in terms of attention to detail, extravagance and all-out glamour!

No expense was spared for little Alba’s pumpkin patchthemed party, which was held in an enormous marquee on the grounds of Black Horse Beamish, County Durham. And it’s certainly fair to say that the former Geordie Shore star and her partner Jake Ankers, 33, had gone all out to create a day to remember for their daughter’s first birthday.

No one was more thrilled that it all went without a hitch than Charlotte herself, who admitted to us after the event that she “really stressed” in the run-up to the big day.

“I know children of all different ages,” she explains. “So, I stressed quite a lot in the lead-up to it, trying to make sure that the party had a little bit for everyone. But honestly, it was so satisfying watching how much everyone loved it.

“I put on a big birthday and it wasn’t just for Alba, it was for everyone to enjoy. It had a full soft play set-up and you could order a Sunday dinner. If you wanted to drink, you could have one too. Alba and all our family and friends had a great time, it went so well.”

Despite any stress she may have been feeling beforehand, Charlotte, also 33, looked every inch the yummy mummy at the bash, dressing up for the occasion in a taupe, figurehugging dress. But it was little Alba who stole the show, wearing a pink tulle frilled dress with a sparkly number one on the front.
