Charlotte Crosby has opened up about her turbulent pregnancy journey and admitted she doesn't feel like she's having a baby, after her mum Letitia Crosby was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The 32-year-old reality star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers and has been sharing updates with fans throughout her pregnancy.
The family received some devastating news earlier this year, as Letitia was diagnosed with breast cancer after going for her routine mammogram. Charlotte has since been accompanying her mum to chemotherapy.
Charlotte has said her mum's diagnosis has affected her experience with the pregnancy, revealing she hasn't had "time to think about it".
"With my mum going through chemotherapy and spending over six hours in hospital with her per day, I've got to try to put all the baby business to the back of my mind. I've got zero time to think about it.
"It just doesn't feel like I'm having a baby. But at the same time, it feels like I've been pregnant for an eternity," she told new magazine.
The Geordie Shore alum also said she has so many things going on in her life that she doesn't "have time to be nervous about giving birth".
Letitia has previously said she found it difficult to tell Charlotte she had cancer so soon after receiving the happy news that she was pregnant.
Speaking to The Sun, the 53-year-old said: "We had so many things to look forward to so telling her I had cancer when she was pregnant was so hard.
"All I was thinking about was my first grandchild and then you get the diagnosis and it just overshadows it."
Letitia opened up about her diagnosis in a post on social media and she expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support she has received from fans.
She thanked "the amazing staff, nurses and consultants at the Queen Elizabeth hospital Gateshead".
Letitia added: "I have still a Rough journey ahead of me but with the support system I have around me I will get there!"
The mum-of-two said it has been a "tough year with a rollercoaster of emotions" and expressed desire to continue to raise awareness around checking your breasts and going for mammograms.
