This morning she appeared on new - which is hosted by Love Island's Chris Taylor and Ginger, resident MC at Sink the Pink, which is the UK’s biggest LGBTQ+ collective.

The pair are trying to promote positive mental health by presenting daily shows which is sent to listeners phones each morning via the Wakey! app.

This week's theme is focused on being good to yourself and Chris and Ginger asked Charlotte if she was a very confident person, to which Charlotte replied: “I am a very confident person, I give myself a phenomenal amount of self love, an unregulated amount of self love!

“I am constantly doing the mirror thing actually, I often give myself a little kiss in the mirror and I'm quite playful with it so I will be like, ‘you know what babes, I love you loads, you are lush, you are really trying and I really appreciate your efforts!’

Ginger then said to Charlotte: “We have actually got two guests for the price of one today…”

Charlotte said: “We do, I have got a little bun in the oven!”

Last year the Welsh lass was given the green light to turn her her £2.5million home into a free school for 20-pupil classrooms. 

Speaking about how it's all going now on the show, she said: “I have started a school, I am absolutely loving the kids. The self confidence stuff is a really huge part of what we do and the wellbeing as obviously there is a mental health epidemic among young people as well.

“We are a creative democratic school and so a lot of what the kids are learning about is to use their voice to talk about what they are interested in, to make decisions and take responsibility, so they pretty much run the school with help from the adults involved as well.

"We think through that process people can really find their creativity. In order to be creative you need to have found your voice.”

Last week Charlotte revealed that was pregnant with her third child following a tragic miscarriage in 2017.

The singer, 34,  let slip the news in a very low-key manner as she tweeted a friend about missing a gig.

She wrote: “Gutted to have missed it. I’m preggers so I’m airing on the side of caution in terms of virus. It looks like it was a great success. X.”

Charlotte is already mum to Ruby, 12, and Dexter, 11, with her ex Gavin Henson, but the pregnancy will be her first child with husband Jonathan Powell.

Charlotte and Jonathan tied the knot in secret in 2017 in an intimate woodland setting.

The couple, who had been dating since 2010, legally married in a registry office before throwing the party.

The happy news came just three months after they were left devastated when Charlotte lost the baby their were expecting together.

The star and Jonathan announced in June 2017 that they had lost their baby, just one month after confirming the pregnancy.

The couple told their Twitter followers of their loss, writing: “Charlotte and Jonny are very sad to announce that they lost their baby. Now is a time for grieving and being together as a family. We kindly ask everyone to respect that peace.”

She announced she was pregnant with partner Jonathan’s baby live on stage on May 28 of that year at Birmingham Pride.
