Charlotte Dawson explains why fiancé was excluded from family photoshoot after sexting scandal

Reality TV star Charlotte Dawson has shared a cute video showing her and her family enjoying a Christmas themed photo shoot, just in time for the festive season

Reality star Charlotte Dawson has explained why her fiancé Matt Sarsfield was missing from a family Christmas photo shoot, months after he was revealed to have 'sexted' another woman.

The Geordie Shore star, 31 was left "hurt and humiliated" in August after her fiance of four years sent an unsolicited intimate photo to another woman. Charlotte, daughter of late comedian Les Dawson, now has two children of her own, Noah, three, and Jude, one, who she shares with her partner of eight years, Matt.

But the star was devastated when the rugby league player was found to have gone behind her back, with pals "angry" that she'd been humiliated so publicly. But the Ex On The Beach star, who is pregnant with the couple's third child, has shared a clip of her and her kids having a Christmas themed photo shoot, ready for the festive season. In the cute clip, her adorable sons can be seen perching next to a list of presents and a massive Christmas tree.

Charlotte captioned the video: "I know it’s October and we haven’t even had Halloween yet but I’m too busy over Christmas to do my shoot cos of Panto. I had to share this video of the boys I just can’t cope next Christmas shoot we will have baby girl with us! Can’t wait to see the final pics which I will be posting at Christmas obvs but my heart … so blessed."

She said: "Matthew did get in a PJ pic but I didn’t get a clip of it for the video as it was very hectic as you can imagine." Charlotte added: "Toddler time ... Before I get everyone jumping down my throat!"

The star, who looks glam as ever with her growing baby bump, appears to have given Matt another chance, as he's reappeared on her Instagram grid recently.

Emily Louise Hodgkinson, 34, was "shocked: when Matt, 32, sent her a photo when she posted about going for a run. They had met via Emily's ex, and followed each other on Instagram. Emily said at the time: "I feel so sorry for Charlotte. How could he do that to her? I’d be mortified if a partner did that to me behind my back.”

When Emily screenshot the photo, she added that a "worried" Matthew responded, asking what she was going to do with the picture.

A source close to Charlotte told the Mirror at the time: "Naturally, friends are angry that Charlotte has been publicly humiliated by Matt’s actions. Such behaviour affects the whole family, particularly their two young sons. She’s been completely blindsided by these revelations.

"To say she is hurt is an understatement, and it’s unclear where the relationship lies at the moment. Right now, Charlotte is trying to get her head around his actions. She’s always stood by Matt, despite some ups and downs in their relationship, and Matt is not just her fiancé, he’s her best mate so this news has been a very hard pill to swallow."
