Charlotte Dawson pregnant with third child after fiance Matthew Sarsfield's sexting scandal

Charlotte Dawson has revealed that she is expecting her third child amid a tumultuous period with her partner Matthew Sarsfield after she found out he was sexting another woman.

Charlotte, 31, the daughter of comic legend Les Dawson, fell out with the ex-rugby league player after he was caught sending explicit messages to the ex of a rugby friend. Despite the betrayal, reality TV star Charlotte has decided to forgive her fiance, after he apologised to a cardboard cut out of her late father.

The Ex on the Beach star and mother of two opened up about the ordeal in an interview with the Mirror. She said: "It's been a crazy time... horrible, having to deal with the heartache, the hurt, and being pregnant too."

Charlotte, who has sons Noah, three, and Jude, one, with Matthew, 32, admitted the ordeal had her worried for her unborn child.

Speaking about the scandal after it came to light earlier this month, Charlotte told OK! Magazine: "He called me almost straight away repeating, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry'. He was drunk and sent pics of his bits. I said, 'It's done Matthew, I can't be with you any more'."

However, upon discovering she was pregnant again, Charlotte reconsidered their relationship, but on one rather bizarre condition. She explained: "I made Matthew go and say sorry to the life-size cardboard cutout I keep of my dad. And he has a lot of making up to do with my mum, too."

She added: "Noah was asking where Daddy was and I don't want a broken home. I want to do what's best for my kids. Matthew says he's going to give everything he's got to make this work. But I've not made a decision on the future of our engagement yet. He
