Heavily pregnant Charlotte Crosby said she hasn't thought about giving birth because she's been "too busy worrying" about her mum Letitia Crosby, after her cancer diagnosis.
The reality TV star, 32, is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Jake Ankers, also 32, and has been documenting the pregnancy for a new BBC series about motherhood.
It was during the pregnancy that the Geordie Shore alum's mother Letitia, 53, was diagnosed with breast cancer, with her having recently started undergoing treatment.
Charlotte has explained that her mum's diagnosis has affected her experience with the pregnancy, saying that the family "haven't embraced it as much as [they] could have".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, she commented: "I don't know when it's going to sink in. [...] I'm too busy worrying about my mam so giving birth hasn't even entered my mind."
Charlotte revealed that she has been going to chemotherapy with her mum, which she started last week, following her diagnosis, which came after a routine mammogram.
She added: "We were saying this morning that it's so weird to think that she got diagnosed with cancer while I was pregnant – it's literally been the whole of my pregnancy."

As a result, the reality TV star said they haven't "embraced" the pregnancy like they would have otherwise, but Charlotte added: "When the baby arrives, she'll be really happy."
Letitia opened up about her diagnosis in a post on social media a few weeks ago, with her expressing gratitude for the outpouring of love and support that she's received from fans.
She said it has been a "tough year with a rollercoaster of emotions" and expressed desire to continue to raise awareness around checking your breasts and having mammograms.
Charlotte - who has recently opened up about the difficulty of her third trimester - previously announced that she is expecting a daughter, who's due to be born later this year.
Discussing the documentary, she told the Daily Mail that she will be filming "all the way" up to the arrival of the new addition to her family, teasing that it will include the birth.
She added that she's felt "really calm" about the show, with her explaining: "It's so much like a fly-on-the-wall that sometimes I don't even notice that I'm filming so I'm fine."
