‘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 needs to change
‘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.’
Just days ago Charlotte recalled the devastating moment she found out her fiancé Matthew had been sexting another woman.
Speaking out for the first time on her My Naughty Corner podcast, she said: ‘I don’t get why he’s done it, it drives me mad because he’s got everything. He doesn’t want to lose his family over this.’
The television personality was walking to meet Matthew at the barbers when she got a call from her manager who broke the news of his betrayal.
‘My whole world came crashing down, I was so shocked. I felt really shocked, hurt and disappointed. His family were really shocked with him,’ she said.

She recalled: ‘He rings me and he said “please speak to me”. I said: “I’m done”. He said he was drunk and begging me not to leave him.’
Charlotte revealed Matthew had met the blonde woman through rugby as he played on the team with her ex, with them messaging on Instagram.
She said: ‘I’ve seen the message they’re not nice, it really hurt’.
The mother-of-two admitted their relationship has been strained for the past two years.
She said: ‘We haven’t had a good relationship this past two years, but it’s no excuse. Children come in the middle of the relationship. It hasn’t been good for a while.
It’s hard to get that intimate time that’s been a massive thing.’
Charlotte said she would sometimes turn down sex as she was exhausted from raising their two young children.
She added the lack of intimacy between then was ‘no excuse’ for his actions.
Days after the scandal broke, it was their son Jude’s first birthday and Charlotte made the heartbreaking decision to tell Matthew to stay away.
‘It was awful, it was awful,’ she said. ‘I’m not cancelling his birthday party, like I just said to him “I don’t think you should come to his birthday”.
‘He obviously made the decision not to come as well.’
Matthew has now moved into his mum and dad’s house and has been begging for Charlotte to take him back.
‘He’s absolutely broken. He doesn’t even look like himself at all. He’s really upset, but so he should be. He’s hurt it family. It’s whether I can forgive and forget,’ she said.
‘I need to switch off from all the background noise. I don’t want this affecting Noah at nursery. He keeps saying “when is Daddy coming home?”.
‘He’s literally ripped my heart out and stamped on it. He’s trying to make amends every single day.’
Speaking out for the first time on her My Naughty Corner podcast, she said: ‘I don’t get why he’s done it, it drives me mad because he’s got everything. He doesn’t want to lose his family’
Charlotte added: ‘The past couple of weeks have been very, very tough. It’s a massive shock because I never expected him to do this. I thought we were a little family unit.’
The reality star said she still hasn’t made a decision on whether to forgive Matthew and give their relationship another go.
She said tearfully: ‘I feel like he doesn’t love me, it drives me mad when I think about it
‘I still love him but I don’t know where my head is at.’
