Charlotte Crosby in tears as she talks parenthood, gran's death and mum's cancer

Charlotte Crosby discussed parenthood and her family during her latest TV appearance this afternoon, with her getting emotional whilst talking about her late grandmother.

The reality TV star, 32 - who rose to fame on Geordie Shore - and her partner Jake Ankers welcomed their daughter Alba, now four months old, in October last year.

She opened up about being a parent and her family whilst appearing as a guest on the latest episode of Steph's Packed Lunch, which aired on Channel 4 earlier.

Celebrity Big Brother winner Charlotte was seen cradling her sleeping daughter whilst speaking to host Steph McGovern, 40, during the interview this afternoon.

Asked about life as a parent, Charlotte commented: "I absolutely love it. This is by far the best job I have ever had in my whole entire life. Honestly, there's no feeling like it."

The author - whose new book Me, Myself and Mini Me is out now - teased she gets more sleep now than during the pregnancy, saying: "I've got a baby that loves to sleep."

Charlotte also spoke about her about her own mother, Letitia Crosby, 53, who has undergone chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year.

Charlotte said: "She's finished all of her treatment and she's doing really, really well. She has to get her two jabs still and I think that's for about five years. We're just waiting on one more mammogram and if that's all clear she can ring the bell."

Steph subsequently brought up Charlotte having lost her grandmother Jean last year. She passed away just a few weeks after her great-granddaughter Alba was born.

Discussing losing her gran, Charlotte commented: "Awful. [It was] so tough. I couldn't even talk about it too much because I'll start to cry. It was just the hardest thing ever."

Charlotte looked emotional when asked if her late gran got to meet Alba, whose middle name is Jean in her honour. Teary-eyed, the reality TV star said: "Yeah she did".

Steph assured that the four-month-old will learn about her great-grandmother through stories in the future, with the guest adding: "Well, she's got her name. Alba Jean".

Steph's Packed Lunch airs weekdays on Channel 4 and All4 from 12.30pm.
