Newly-single Charlotte Dawson reveals dramatic makeover after recently splitting up from rugby star boyfriend Matt Sarsfield – and looks just like Amy Childs

CHARLOTTE Dawson could almost be mistaken for Towie beauty Amy Childs in her latest photo as she unveiled a glamorous new look.

The newly-single star appeared to treat herself to a makeover following her recent split from rugby star Matt Sarsfield, and she seemed pleased with the results.

Taking to Instagram to showcase her incredibly voluminous curls and striking make-up, the defiant singleton wrote: "Focusing on me myself n chuffin I".

At first glance, the standout make-up and bright red locks meant Charlotte, 24, could easily have passed for Amy, 26.

Fans flocked to the comments to gush about the star's stunning new look as she continues to move forward from her heart-breaking split.

The reality star revealed she feels like her "heart has been ripped out" in an emotional post, and The Sun Online exclusively revealed it came after the couple called time on their relationship before Valentine's Day.

Despite appearing inseparable on social media in recent weeks, hunky rugby player Matt had been struggling to cope with Charlotte's love of partying, and it eventually proved too much for their relationship.

It was a difficult few days for the star too, as February 2 marked what would have been her late father Les' birthday.

A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "Charlotte is convinced Matt is the one for her, she's been planning years ahead and it all seemed like Matt was of the same mind, but things have become difficult.

"Charlotte loves to party and so does Matt, but he's a professional athlete and sometimes that makes things difficult."

The source added: "Charlotte really is doing everything she can to get things back on track, and it couldn't have happened at a worse time, right on top of Valentine's Day and her father Les' birthday.

"She's got great friends and family around her, and she's trying to concentrate on work to keep her busy but she's an emotional girl and finding it difficult."

The couple, who have been dating since November last year, sparked engagement rumours over the New Year as Charlotte showed off some new bling on her engagement finger during a night out.

And it came after Charlotte declared she wanted to marry her rugby star boyfriend… and a cardboard cut-out of her tragic dad would be waiting for her at the altar.

Meanwhile Charlotte posted a tear-jerking tribute to her late father comedy legend Les on the anniversary of his birthday as she shared a tender snap showing him cuddling her as a baby.

The Ex on the Beach star tragically lost her parent when she was just eight months old, yet his memory remains firmly alive, with the model growing up alongside a cardboard cut-out of the Blankety Blank host and recently fronting a TV show on his life.

The northern stunner took to her Twitter page to mark his special day with an emotion-packed picture post.

The snap showed Charlotte as a baby peacefully sleeping in Les' arms as he held her close.

Alongside the intimate family image she wrote: "Wish I was snuggling my daddy tonight," followed by broken heart and crying Emoji icons.

She added: "Come ere you!!

"Hope you've had a good brithday upppp in the skyssss my guardian angel."
