Charlotte Crosby says she's 'too busy worrying about mam' after her cancer diagnosis to embrace pregnancy

Reality star Charlotte Crosby says she hasn't "embraced" pregnancy because she's been "too busy worrying" about her mum after her cancer diagnosis.

The Sunderland-born star, who is known for appearing in Geordie Shore and winning the 12th series of Celebrity Big Brother, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers, and has been documenting the pregnancy for a new BBC series about motherhood. It was during the pregnancy that her mother Letitia, 53, was diagnosed with breast cancer, with her having recently started undergoing treatment.

Charlotte, 32, 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 said: "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."
