Ex-Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby has sent her fans into a frenzy after posting a picture that appears to hint at a pregnancy
Charlotte has been dating OG Love Island star Joshua Ritchie since 2017, after meeting at mutual friend Aaron Chalmers’ BAMMA fight just weeks after Char ended her relationship with Stephen Bear.
She’s made no secret of her dream to become a mum, and so fans have quickly jumped to the conclusion that she’s expecting after she posted a snap to Instagram showing her apparently ‘cradling’ a ‘bump’.
“You look like your trying to tell us your preggaz by the way your holding your stomach,” wrote one commenter.
Others simply wrote, “Preggers Yay”.
But some were quick to point out that after Charlotte’s tragic ectopic pregnancy in 2016, it was insensitive to suggest she was expecting.
“Do any of you people commenting about a baby bump know how hurtful it can be to suggest that after losing a baby???? I can tell you it's the most horrible feeling and can just bring up all the emotions again,” wrote one concerned commenter.
And some commenters were adamant that Charlotte couldn’t be pregnant, going on the many Instagram stories she posted from nights out over the festive period.
“All the ‘pregnant’ comments!” said one commenter. “Just watch her stories and it will tell you she’s not, she’s always blind drunk!
