Charlotte Dawson 'gutted' as go-to bikini fails to fit on first post-baby trip
Mum of three Charlotte Dawson has candidly confessed to a bikini 'fail' as her favourite holiday two-piece no longer fits after jetting off on her first child-free holiday since giving birth to her third baby.
The mum-of-three, 32, flew to Majorca with fiancé Matt Sarsfield over the weekend to celebrate his mum's 60th birthday but revealed she was 'gutted' when her go-to white and gold buckle bikini no longer fit her.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, Charlotte shared two snaps of herself in the two-piece - one taken before she was pregnant with her daughter Gigi, who was born in March, and one postpartum.
'When the bikini you packed doesn't fit!,' she told fans in the caption. 'Was totally gutted (literally!) to discover my fave holiday bikini doesn't fit anymore, hahaha but surely I should of knew."

'This one's always been a banker for me cos it (usually) covers ma belleh. But when you're post partrum from babay no 3 there's just a bit too much jelleh on the belleh!! But that's ok.'
Charlotte added: 'Like I said the other week I am literally the biggest I've ever been now. A whole stone heavier than I was after Noah & Jude. Nothing in my wardrobe fits me anymore.

'But I'm definitely getting back into my Belleh Blaster plan just gently on the exercise but starting by following the diet plan. Adding an extra 500 calories a day though because I'm still breastfeeding. (Before the trolls start.)

'I've done it before with my plan - not once but twice, so I know it works so please do join me on journey number 3.' However, Charlotte was flooded with supportive comments from fans and friends.
One wrote: "You look beautiful either way my lovely! But do what makes u feel good" another added: "I love you Charlotte. Your one of the realest girls ever xxx". And a third penned: "how open and honest you are and how your are embracing how clever a female body is to carry a baby. You are taking your time and not pushing your body hard to get rid of the baby weight and putting your children first. You are an inspiration to women across the world, you are beautiful an inspirational woman, wife and mummy".
Her candid post comes amid a turbulent few months for the reality star, after her fashion brand Dawsylicious was plunged into financial trouble earlier this year. In May it emerged the wholesale clothing and footwear company which she co-owns with Matt has gone into voluntary liquidation with debts of more than £73,000.
According to Companies House, the firm faces an £88,000 tax bill, with just £15,000 in assets to offset it. Dawsylicious, which launched in 2020, has also been issued three strike notices since last year, while its accounts and confirmation statement are overdue.
It's another test for Charlotte and Matt, who last year patched things up after Matt's sexting scandal broke before she was pregnant with Gigi.
Charlotte previously admitted 2024 had been a 'rollercoaster', revealing 'It was a lot last year and especially being pregnant dealing with all that was quite hard.'
'But everything's a lot better now, obviously we've sorted things out and we're really excited to grow our family.'
Matt also broke down in tears while addressing the scandal on her podcast The Naughty Corner, telling listeners he 'massively regrets' his actions and was 'heartbroken' by what he'd done.
Charlotte reflected 'It was quite a big thing for Matthew. He's the hardest guest I've ever had on the podcast because obviously he was very nervous, but we really want to make it work and be a family.'
'I think because it was so public, it helped a lot of couples as well going through the same thing.
'I think it was the best thing that we did, just speaking about everything - that's the best way to deal with things as well, isn't it? I saw a different side to him. He really broke down on it as well which obviously I didn't expect. It was brave for him to do that because he's not like that at all.'

Liam Neeson's son breaks silence on dad's Pamela Anderson romance with telling comment
Liam Neeson's son, Daniel, who he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson, has publicly reacted to his dad's new relationship with the Baywatch star. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson delighted fans when they revealed their blossoming romance at the Naked Gun premiere and it seems they have already gotten their families' approval of their new relationship. The pair hit it off after meeting during filming for the Naked Gun reboot, which they both play a leading role in. The Taken actor, 73, appears to be absolutely smitten with the Baywatch icon, 58, who he he called 'gorgeous' and also praised for her 'silliness'. Pamela and Liam have been seen getting cosy on the red carpet together, with both families posing with them for photos at the film's premieres. The actress has now shared her first snap with Liam to her Instagram page in a playful black and white photoshoot of the pair tossing popcorn at the camera. In another snap, Pamela is seen smiling while lying on the floor as Liam is bent over her with a camera in hand. The actress captioned the series of snaps: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I'll see you there." The post has brought in over 1M likes and thousands of comments, with Liam's son Daniel, who he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson, among them. The 28-year-old seemingly confirmed his approval for his father's new romance as he left a string of emojis in the comments. These included two hands raised in celebration, two fires, two white hearts, and a water pistol so it's safe to say Daniel is happy to see the pair together. Daniel's late mother, Natasha Richardson died in a tragic skiing accident when he was just 12-years-old and his older brother Micheál was 13. The Parent Trap star was just 45-years-old when she passed away in 2009 and had been married to Neeson for 15 years. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also shared her support as she touchingly left seven red heart emojis on Pamela's post. The Baywatch star's son, Brandon Thomas Lee, previously said that his mother and Liam were 'having a great time' on the press tour. He told Access Hollywood: "It's fun to see them be, you know, good castmates [and] have a good time. "I just think they're such great co-stars. I think [chemistry] is part of that, right? I think they have such a great onscreen chemistry that it really, you know, means it's well done." He also left a sweet comment on Pam's Instagram post as he wrote: "So proud of you and all of the hard work that went into this film! Everyone involved should be so proud!"

But now, Blu has hit back at Angel after she rejected him during his return to the villa. Taking to Instagram, the Love Island star was answering a question from fans which asked: "Be honest, how did it feel when angel said you couldn't turn her head?" The fan was referring to a conversation between himself and Angel during the jury challenge. Blue replied: "I didn't expect anything less, she's in a couple, so she's not going to say yes. "Also a lot of it got clipped, I said some other stuff, it just didn't get shown. "I've nothing against Angel and Ty. I think they are both amazing people.

Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson take relationship to next level in sweet snap
Love Island star Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson took their relationship to the next level by going Instagram official this evening after sparking up a romance earlier this year Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson took their relationship to the next level and shared a sweet snap of them sharing a kiss on social media. The Love Island star and the One Direction singer have been dating for several months, but have been keeping their romance away from social media besides a few comments and likes. She was previously spotted singing along at her boyfriend's concert as the 28-year-old went to support her 33-year-old partner at his show in Zurich last month. The sighting comes not long after the loved-up couple were seen having fun together at this year's Glastonbury Festival. And now, Zara took to her Instagram page to share a selfie she took of the two sharing a kiss. In the snap, seemingly taken on holiday, Zara smiled as she held his cheek and gave him a kiss. Louis looked happy as he held the camera. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce's lock screen. Friends and fans were delighted with the social media milestone and rushed to share their happiness for the couple. "Yaaaay," Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri wrote. Ellie Louise Leach added: "Soooooo here for this," and another posted: "Love seeing you glowing and happy." One fan joked: "I'm so happy that my boyfriend has a girlfriend." The couple first started romance rumours earlier in the year after being photographed on a cosy date in Suffolk. The moment in March came just a short time after Zara's split from her long-term boyfriend, Sam Thompson. Sam and Zara called time on their relationship for good in December 2024. They had initially met in 2019 after she shot to fame on Love Island. They took a break but soon got back together and seemed to be hopelessly in love until it was announced they went their separate ways after five years together. Despite Zara being in a new relationship, it's been said that Sam isn't so keen to date again. At one point, he dated Samie Elishi but they soon called time on their brief romance. After their split, he was spotted back on celebrity dating app Raya. He later made the decision to stay single for some time. Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast, Sam said: "I'm going to work on myself. No dating, I'm not ready and I've realised that."
