Inside Charlotte Dawson's wedding plans to fiancé Matt after scandal
The late great Les Dawson's daughter Charlotte Dawson has candidly revealed her plans to marry Matt Sarsfield, following a five year engagement and three children Mum-of-three Charlotte Dawson has had a busy few years – no wonder why she and fiancé Matt Sarsfield are yet to walk down the aisle. Charlotte, 32, got engaged to rugby league star Matt, 33, in 2020 and soon after started their family as they welcomed their first child together, Noah, in 2021. Two years later couple's second child, Jude, was welcomed into the world. And, just three months ago, Charlotte gave birth to their third child, a baby girl named Gigi, completing their beautiful family unit. The Dawson-Sarsfeild household is a busy one, which becomes very apparent when the Mirror catches up with Charlotte at the Pro Am Padel tour event earlier this month. Busy working mum-of-three Charlotte has her three children, fiancé Matt and a baby sitter in tow as she attends the star-studded sports event. When asked how she's finding life as a mum of three children under the age of five, Charlotte reveals: "It's absolute carnage. But it's a beautiful chaos. They're my absolute world. I finally got my little girl and the two boys absolutely dote on her. It's amazing, but really hard. Going from two to three is like having 10 kids, because you're outnumbered. Two we can manage, because there are two pairs of hands. But I think it's going to be worth it because when they're older they're going to be playing together, they're going to be best friends." No wonder Charlotte and hubby-to-be Matt are yet to set a date for their wedding, despite being engaged for almost five years. When asked when she and Matt plan to marry, Charlotte tells us: "Maybe when it gets a bit easier with the kids. I'd love Gigi to walk down the aisle in a little dress, so I think I might have to wait. I'm gonna have to anyway. I can't start planning a wedding now – Jesus, I can't even sort my own life out!" The couple have also faced turmoil in their romance in recent years. Last year, it was reported Charlotte had kicked Matt out after she discovered he had been sexting another woman. At the time, The Mirror revealed that former Celebs Go Dating star Charlotte, 31, had been left 'hurt and humiliated' after learning that Matt had sent x-rated messages to someone else. But it was later reported she took him back after Matt was left 'broken'. Emily Louise Hodgkinson, 34, told The Mirror she was left 'shocked' when former Swinton Lions player Matthew, 32, sent her an intimate picture after she posted about going for a run in 2024. The pair met via Emily's ex, who played rugby with Matthew, and followed each other on Instagram. Emily said: 'I feel so sorry for Charlotte. How could he do that to her? I'd be mortified if a partner did that to me behind my back.' Emily said she took a screenshot of the image and added that a 'worried' Matthew responded, asking what she planned to do with the photograph. However, Charlotte later took Matt back after he apologised to a cardboard cut out of her late father, Les Dawson. And, later Charlotte announced her pregnancy with her third child. She later shared her hopes that her pregnancy will make Matt a "better man". In an exclusive chat with the Mirror, she had one wish for her family's future. She revealed: "It would be amazing to have a little girl – for Matthew, too. I think being a girl dad will make him a better man, but we'll see."

Forster wants Crusaders to learn from a league reverse
North Wales lost for the first time in League One this season with their 26-20 reverse at Swinton Lions a fortnight ago and Crusaders will be looking to put things right when they host Newcastle Thunder on Sunday. Head coach Forster (pictured) told CruCast: 'What went wrong? Probably a lot of things, if I'm going to be really honest. 'As long as we channel it in the right way, it could be a great lesson for us that day, to be honest.' Sam Wilde, Pat Ah Van and Ollie Brookes grabbed first half tries at Swinton and this gave Crusaders a 10-point interval advantage in their last match. However, hopes of a sixth successive win were shattered by Lions' second half fightback. 'Realistically, was we going to go all season unbeaten? It's easy to say now, but I don't think we ever was and... the monkey's off the back,' stressed Forster, who is set to add Toby Hughes and Matty Unsworth to his squad for Sunday's match. This will only be North Wales' second home league match of the season and a sixth victory will move them above leaders Workington Town and Midlands Hurricanes back into top spot.
