Charlotte Crosby says that she is 'so lucky' to have had camera crews surrounding her for the past year, filming precious moments with her and her family that she can cherish for a lifetime.
The 32-year-old TV star saw camera crews follow her every move across 2022, filming for her brand new BBC Three show Charlotte in Sunderland - which subsequently launched February 1 this year.
The show itself details Charlotte's life in her hometown of Sunderland, showing her business ventures and personal relationships with beau Jake Ankers, as well as family and friends.

One member of Charlotte's family who features is her beloved nana Jean, with last week's instalment on the iPlayer showing Charlotte visit her home to reveal the gender of her baby. She also goes on to tell her nana that her daughter would be named after her, in Alba Jean Ankers.
And Charlotte this afternoon said that it's moments like this that she is grateful were captured, with Jean unfortunately passing away in November last year. When asked by Chronicle Live if she still notices the cameras, twelve years on from shooting to fame with Geordie Shore, Charlotte said: "Oh I don't any more, it's been twelve years now. It would honestly feel so odd if they weren't there.
"And as strange as that seems, and a lot of people would probably be like 'that's sad, you can't even live a private life', it's actually really lovely to be surrounded by a really good bunch of people all the time, and capturing some of the best times of your life, and always having them to look back at.
"I feel incredibly lucky to be in this position and to have this career. One big thing for me is you know, I have got footage now of me, my mam and my nana - which hasn't come out much on TV yet because it's still in the episodes to come.
"Some really lovely moments of me, my mam, and my nana - which if I didn't have a camera crew with me, obviously my nana passed away in November - I would have just had them as just memories that I had to try and remember.
"And how much can you really remember? When you lose someone, you want to remember every detail of every single moment, and you suddenly scramble to your phone and you wish you took more pictures, and you wish you took more videos.
"And what more special than to have full chunks of times we've spent together? Being able to watch them from start to the finish, being able to see every bit of conversation, every time you laugh, every funny thing that my nana said. I just feel so lucky to have that especially with losing her."
She continued: "It sounds stupid, but I do just feel so grateful that the cameras were there so I've got such amazing memories to look back on."
Charlotte in Sunderland is available on BBC Three and the BBC iPlayer now.
