Charlotte Dawson has proudly showed off her ‘rainbow baby bump’ after revealing she is pregnant with her second child.
The actress daughter of comedy legend Les Dawson announced she and partner Matt Sarsfield were expecting again in February.
Their happy news comes almost a year after Charlotte suffered a devastating miscarriage at 10 weeks.
Hitting back at haters who said she looked fat, Charlotte said she "doesn’t care" what people think of her as she cradled her growing tummy.
Posting a comedy video to Instagram in true Charlotte style, she stripped down to a black strapless bra and matching knickers for the one-minute clip.
The usually glam star also appeared to be make-up free with her long hair tied up in a messy bun.

She told her 1.3 million followers: “Hiya. Bloody hell. I know what you’re all thinking, put it away love. Put it away love!
“But no I’m not putting it away, because I’m going to shake my rainbow baby. I’m going to show my rainbow baby bump off.”
The 30-year-old continued: “Even though some people are saying ‘it’s not a bump yet, she’s just fat’. I mean, I am pushing my existing fat out.
“I’m 18 weeks so it’s that in between stage where I’m like ‘Have I got a bump? Am I just fat?’ but I don’t care.
“I don’t give a s***, alright mate. I don’t care what you think of me. Because I’m going to show my bumpalicious off because I’ve waited so long.”
Fans were quick to show their support in the comments underneath with one saying: “You tell em Char! Being pregnant is beautiful. I’d be proud as punch too.”
“You tell em Chaz! People need to mind their own bloody business! And if they’ve nowt nice to say don’t say it all all. U look gorgeous,” wrote a second.
A third chimed in: “Love you keep being you, don’t change for these idiots. Time we started celebrating women’s bodies when pregnant instead of letting people try to shame them. You look beautiful as ever mamma xx.”
“You show much earlier with second. I’d say I did. Love and cherish your bump girl. Can’t believe anyone has the audacity to have an opinion on it,” said a fourth.
While a fifth added: “People need to understand just how much of a big deal a rainbow baby is. Unless you’ve lost a baby yourself you can’t possibly have an opinion on someone else’s pregnancy. And if you have, I would seriously hope you wouldn’t have anything negative to say to a bereaved mama. Worst pain imaginable.”
The reality TV star, who is already mum to 20-month-old son Noah, revealed she had lost a baby in April last year - after finding out she was pregnant on Mother’s Day the month before.
Writing on Instagram, she shared: “Hi my darlings, I finally feel ready to post this.. I mean I don’t know when there is a good time to post this. It’s been an extremely tough week mentally but also obviously physically…
"I am heartbroken beyond words.. and I know I’m never quiet on here, & always so open and honest with you guys so it’s been a shock to you all.. I keep getting lots & lots of messages worrying about us all, asking why I’m being quiet & if Noah is ok.. Noah is absolutely fine.. he’s amazing."
Last month Charlotte revealed they will become a family of four in the summer as her due date is the 3rd August.
