Charlotte Crosby reveals her baby’s gender

Pregnant Charlotte Crosby will return to our screens at the end of a BBC series that follows her preparation for motherhood.

The former Geordie Shore star will be the focus of a 10-part reality show.

The BBC Three series, called Charlotte in Sunderland, will transport viewers to the north-east of the reality TV star’s hometown, where she will meet close friends and family as well as run Naked Lane.

Speaking to The Sun, Charlotte said: “I’m so excited to bring my crazy life, business ventures, loving family, future husband and precious legacy to the station. BBC.”

Charlotte revealed in April that she was pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers – a businessman living in Manchester.

Jake and Charlotte went public with their relationship in January 2022 after she split from ex-boyfriend Liam Beaumont in October 2021.

The film will see their relationship blossom as Ankers decides to move in with her as they prepare to be parents together for the first time.

The BBC’s producers said the show would provide an “honest and surprising lens on Charlotte’s multi-faceted world”.

Charlotte previously shared her fear that she might never become a mother after a painful ectopic pregnancy with ex-boyfriend Gaz Beadle in 2016.

As a result, she underwent an operation at St John and Elizabeth’s hospital in London, which involved removing her left fallopian tube.

On Sunday – Father’s Day – Charlotte revealed the gender of their unborn child with an elaborate premiere on the rooftop.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner shared the news with her family and friends – enlisting the help of a plane and rooftop venue to make the announcement.

She took to Instagram Live to broadcast the reveal to her 7.9 million followers at the same time as her loved ones at the event.

After the TV star successfully rounded up her guests, a plane circled the rooftop site to reveal information in the sky that Charlotte and Jake were expecting a baby girl.

“That is a girl!” she shouted excitedly, as the pink paper fireworks also filled the air after nearly 10 minutes of setting up.
