Charlotte Dawson has revealed she is expecting her second child almost a year after suffering a devastating miscarriage. The daughter of late comedian Les Dawson endured a tragic miscarriage last April whilst 10 weeks into her pregnancy.
The reality TV star, 30, and her fiancé Matt Sarsfield are already proud parents to their two-year-old son Noah but they are now set to become parents once again after announcing the joyous news that Charlotte is now 17 weeks pregnant.
The doting mum announced the happy news that she and rugby star Matt are expecting a "rainbow baby" in an exclusive interview with OK! magazine.

Charlotte revealed: "I can’t believe it’s actually happened again and Noah is going to be a big brother."
The TV star revealed she discovered her pregnancy around the two to three week mark.
She added: "Obviously this one is a rainbow baby. I feel very blessed and very happy that I’ve managed to get pregnant again. We were absolutely heartbroken about the miscarriage last year. It came as a shock when I found out last April. It was like we’d just come to the realisation that we were having a baby and I lost it at 10 weeks."
Charlotte revealed Matt suggested they should do a test after she felt "really ill" and was a day late on her period.
Recalling the moment they found out, Charlotte said: "Matthew is like my period person – he knows when I’m due on.
"He was like, 'You’ve not been on,' and I was like, 'It’s been a day!'
"I was stressed from doing pantomime, so I just put it down to that. Then I was really, really tired one day – I mean, I was a bit hungover – but I was like, this is not normal, and I felt really ill.
"So I said, 'Matt, I just think we should do a test.' I really wanted a chippy because it makes me happy, so I got the chips and gravy, I got the pregnancy test.
"I went to go and do the test and it had a faint line. I was like, 'Oh my God!' and I just screamed. Noah was like, 'What’s going on?,' and I said, 'You’re going to be a big brother!'"
While Charlotte revealed her son has been kissing her growing bump, she revealed her fiancé Matt was "really happy" but also "shocked" over the baby news.
"We’ve always been trying – I’ve never been on anything," she explained. "We just thought, if it happens, it happens, that’s the way it is.
"But we didn’t really expect it because I was in a pantomime. I was busy, I was stressed and they always say you need to be chilled.
"But yeah, it happened! I came out of the toilet and I hadn’t even eaten my chippy – my chippy was getting cold – but Matthew was absolutely buzzing and so happy."
Charlotte shared the heartbreaking news after previously taking a break from social media due to some "awful news".
She wrote: "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."
