Showing off her amazing size 10 body in skimpy outfits on a series of nights out recently, it looks like Charlotte Dawson would be a regular in the gym.
But the Ex On The Beach star, who’s hit the headlines for her wild partying and outrageous drunken antics, says she’s rather knock back a shot at the bar rather than break a sweat on the treadmill.
"I’m not a fitness freak at all,” laughs Charlotte. "All the girls on the show have amazing figures, but I’m just a normal girl. I’m curvy. I’m out boozing all the time – I love it. I’ve noticed it's starting to take its toll on my body now! It’s hitting me! I definitely need to tone up.
"I really worked hard on my body for two weeks before we were filming the show at the start of the summer, so I looked good but literally two days in and I was fat again!”
Last week, the 23-year-old reality TV star was seen locking lips with a new man, Luke. And Charlotte – whose recent antics on Ex On The Beach include a three-way kiss with Gaz Beadle and Olivia Walsh, and a bust-up with Gaz that involved her throwing cutlery at him, reveals she met Luke at Ibiza’s Ocean Club and she’s feeling pretty loved up.
She smiles: "It's nearly winter soon so I'll need a boyfriend won't I? It's just a casual thing really at the moment. He's very fit and we've been hanging out ever since we met a few weeks ago. He’s already proposed to me with a Haribo ring so it might not be that far off. We make a good couple and he's made quite an impression.
And while she is enjoying her taste of the limelight, Charlotte tells Closer that she still suffers from the painful heartache of losing her legendary comedian father, Les Dawson, when she was only eight months old.
She was raised by her mum Tracy, Les’ second wife, who he was married to for four years before his death in 1993. Now Charlotte says she wants to do the best she can for her dad, who tragically died of a heart attack aged 62.
She says: “I’ve always been in this kind of industry because of my dad, and that’s how I know I will never change. My life has always been in the media, so it’s not like I’m going to suddenly have my head in the clouds.
“I love my dad to pieces and I’m gutted that I never got to properly meet him, but I was lucky that I got to know him through videos and pictures.
“People always say they can see his traits in me. I just hope that I do him proud.”
