It's hard to believe that the Charlotte Crosby who first barrelled onto our screens back in 2011 is the same woman at the helm of her own fitness empire just ten short years later. From her acclaimed fitness DVD 3 Minute Belly Blitz in 2014 to her 2017 follow up book 30 Day Blitz and a new app, Blitz and Burn, it's safe to say she's utterly transformed her life from one of Geordie Shore's hardest partying radgies to the ultimate #fitspo.

What's Charlotte Crosby doing now?

Speaking of prioritising fitness on launching her Blitz n Burn app with trainer David Souter, Charlotte told Closer in 2022, "I feel really good in myself. Not just with how I look, but with how I feel mentally. Exercise gives you these endorphins and you can’t help but feel great.

"I think people assume that I don’t like partying any more, but I absolutely do! I still love a night out with my friends, getting smashed and eating takeaways. I think I’ve just found a good balance – I can do that, but I also make sure I get enough workouts in the week and eat healthily on the whole.

"Saying that, though, I’m doing ‘Dry January’ and it’s really needed. I had a crazy December, I was out most nights and I ate far too much McDonald’s. So I’ll probably put healthy eating and fitness first this month, but in general it’s just balance."

Charlotte Crosby's boyfriend

She may have had a rocky love life, with ill-fated high profile relationships with fellow reality stars Gary Beadle, Stephen Bear and Joshua Ritchie AND two stints on Celebs Go Dating, but after dropping some serious hints she'd found a new fella with a series a cryptic Instagram posts, Char's now confirmed she's more loved up than ever with driver Jake Ankers.

She told us, "I’m very happy and excited about 2022. I’m feeling great, but I’m going to keep things private with him for the time being. I’d love to share him with everyone at some point, but we’re both really enjoying where we’re at right now. It’s early days and I don’t want to put pressure on it."

She added, "Things are going great with us so far. I’m a really active person, and so is he, so we’ve planned lots for January. We’re going go-karting, snowboarding at one of those indoor ski centres and we’re going to do Total Ninja – this obstacle course thing in Manchester. I can’t wait."

As a fresh-faced 18 year old un-corrupted by booze (maybe), Charlotte vowed she "would never kiss anyone without a six pack" when she first appeared on Geordie Shore, and following her love life – and stellar career – over the best part of a decade, she's certainly a woman of her word (although we had our doubts about Mitch). It's fair to say she's had her fare share of heartbreak, and wasted a few too many years pining after Gaz and his parsnip. But it was good while it lasted (sometimes), so we're looking back over Char's past lovers for a trip down a distinctly blurry memory lane...

Let's start at the beginning, shall we? When Charlotte first arrived in the Geordie Shore house it was James and his cringe-worthy peacocking that first got her attention, but it wasn't long before a connection crackled between her and alpha boy Gaz Beadle, and his reportedly massive wang.

They on-d and off-d for 12 series, with Charlotte heartbroken every time Gaz brought a girl back (which he did often) and refused to commit. But lo! after five years of the same routine, they did eventually make things official. Woohoo!

Unsurprisingly, the break up was bitter – very bitter. An unexpected pregnancy left Charlotte in agony when it was diagnosed as ectopic, but Gaz couldn't be by her side because... he was in Thailand, filming Ex on the Beach and shagging Jemma Lucy. After that horrible turn of events, Charlotte quit Geordie Shore for good, saying she was "willing to sacrifice" that part of career to be away from Gaz – and we can't say we blame her, tbh.

Char started dating Mitch in 2013 (during an 'off' with Gaz, obv) and although he never appeared on the show, he was a big presence in her life during filming.The pair split up in December 2014, after Mitch dumped poor Char by text, but were back on by the January, with the two of them jetting of to New York to mark their reunion properly.

Charlotte and Scotty T go way back – specifically, to when Scotty T joined the cast of Geordie Shore in series three. While filming a Greek Odyssey (in Greece, natch) the two of them once tashed on in the back of a taxi, leaving Charlotte, who was still with Mitch, wracked with guilt.

Since the early days, the two have been the best of friends. Scotty even stepped in to co-host MTV's Just Tattoo of Us after Charlotte's messy split from Stephen Bear left producers a man down.

After her split from Mitch, Charlotte was, quite frankly, the ultimate choice for the opening series of Celebs go Dating, the addictive dating show that pairs slebs with real people. After a promising first date with one-time Mister Manchester (oooh) Jeavon Stretton, things took a turn for the worse for former Cock Capturer Charlotte.

Jeavon was apparently appalled after asking Charlotte how many people she'd slept with (er, why Jeavon?) and receiving an answer he deemed to be "too high". Despite claiming his 'number' was in the hundreds, Char decided not to put up with the double standard and swiftly moved on.

Char's certainly made the rounds in reality TV, so it's no wonder that a fair few of the names in her little black book come from the circuit. Another Celebs go Dating conquest, Brad Skelly, sensationally claimed that he'd got sacked from his job as a fish monger for appearing on the show.

The allegations turned out to be false, but judging by Brad's Instagram, we reckon he probably wasn't cut out for a career in fish, anyway. Dayum.

Charlotte emerged victorious from the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2013, and so shacking up with someone from the BB pool was basically in the contract. Enter Ash Harrison, who was fresh out of a reality romance (and financial scandal) with fellow 2014 housemate Helen Woods.

Charlotte was photographed on a string of dates with Ash after her split from Gaz, and things looked to be going well. But they split after five months under unknown circumstances, with Ash posting the cryptic message, "If someone purposely, constantly disrespects you, they aren't a good person. Simple."

This drunk snog with Geordie Shore baby of the group Marty McKenna - during the turbulent heights of her relationship with Gaz – was, how should we put it, pretty excruciating to watch. Gary wrote in his column for Daily Star online, "She necked on with Marty McKenna. We were getting close to the girlfriend/boyfriend stage and, with our history and everything we have been through, this scared Charlotte. So she went out and got smashed and messed things up."But Marty was reluctant to take any responsibility, saying, "'I don't even think they were together when I kissed her but they sorted it out after. The kiss was just a drunken thing. We were so drunk… we weren't even flirting. It was just like friendship thing and out of the blue and so radge."

Charlotte ad Max Morely actually looked like they could maybe possibly go the distance. Both from a reality TV background, the same circle of friends and both fan favourites from their respective shows (Max was an OG Love Islander), they looked like they were made for each other. But the couple had a messy split after Charlotte got back involved with – you guessed it – Gaz Beadle, with Max saying, "I saw it coming, Gary clicks his fingers and Charlotte comes running back."Gary just uses Charlotte like a piece of string, and she's a mug for going along with it."

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of reality TV fame, must be in want of Stephen Bear (or something). After getting his claws into fellow Geordie Shore-er Vicky Pattison - who called him "the most vile, horrendous, snakey, conniving and manipulative person [she'd] ever met," FYI – Charlotte embarked on what was sure to be a healthy, mutually respectful, long lived relationship of her own with Bear after they met on Ex on the Beach.

The couples split was not pretty and was documented in excruciating detail for all to see across their social media channels. Bear went on to date Gaz Beadle's ex Lillie Lexie, proving once again that those reality stars are an incestuous lot.

This guy – known only as the mysterious Cal – was another that Charlotte probably wishes hadn't happened. During filming for 2018's Charlotte Show in Australia, Charlotte's friend arranged for Cal (a former fling of Char's) to come and meet them for a few drinks.Needless to say, booze and pheromones combined for predictable consequences – but the real problem was that Charlotte had left new beau Joshua Ritchie back in Blighty.

Charlotte got together with another Ex on the Beach-er, Joshua Ritchie in 2017 and they were together until late 2019, splitting acrimoniously in November that year.

Following her split with Josh, Charlotte flew to South Africa for the Australian version of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! where she met comedian and reality star Ryan Gallagher. They sparked romance with a midnight kiss but it wasn't meant to be and they called it a day when they returned to the outside world.

Char's most recent ex was with hunky videographer Liam Beaumont after they were introduced by friends in Dubai in early 2021. However, things didn't work out between them as Charlotte announced in August the same year that the couple's relationship was over.

Addressing the split, Charlotte insisted the two parted ways on good terms, writing on Instagram, "Me and Liam shared some amazing memories together and the split was amicable. In the end, we just realised we were two very different people."

In January 2022, Charlotte went public with her new man Jake Ankers, declaring that she had had the best 'January ever'.

Charlotte Crosby's age

Charlotte Crosby is 31 years old - she was just 19 when she joined the cast of Geordie Shore in 2011.

It's fair to say that Charlotte was one of the hardest-partying the Geordie Shore house in the early 2010s. While all eight of the OG's had their fair share of wild nights out, it was only Charlotte who would wet the bed after one too many drinks.

But still, Charlotte 1.0 will always have a special place in our hearts: how could you not love this face?

Charlotte Crosby's podcast

Like any reality celeb worth their salt (and following in the footsteps of her former Geordie Shore co-star Vicky Pattison) Charlotte has own podcast, called Values and Vibes, which she launched in 2021.

The podcast, which ran for just eight episodes and is hosted by UK Podcasts, is described: "From having your lady bits splashed all over international television to dealing with heart break in public, this is Queen Crosby at her best… raw and unfiltered."

Charlotte Crosby's fitness app

"I have used a combination of different fitness apps and there have been things that I love about them and things that I don’t love and think that could be done better," Charlotte told the Express in January 2022.

"So when I was putting my app together I put all of my ideas together. The app has a very ‘social media vibe,’ a one stop shop of everything so you don’t have to leave the app to try and find something else. You can upload photos, upload a status and give people virtual high fives. You can just cheer everyone on and motivate people, and honestly, the support in the community section alone is mind blowing."
