Charlotte Crosby risks wrath of mum shamers as she reveals controversial Christmas parenting decision
CHARLOTTE Crosby has revealed a controversial Christmas parenting decision she’s made ahead of the holidays.
The reality star, 33, is the proud mum of her baby daughter Alba, who was born in October 2022.
She shares the toddler with her partner Jake Ankers, who she recently got engaged to.
However, the former Geordie Shore star risks the wrath of online mum-shamers over a parenting move she’s made.
Charlotte has revealed that Alba won’t be getting any Christmas presents this year.
Instead, she has paid for her entire family to fly out to the Maldives for the big day.
Speaking to Closer Magazine, she explained: “I don’t think we’re going to get her any presents for Christmas, we are all off presents. We’re doing things a bit different.
“We’re all flying to the Maldives on Christmas Day, that’s our present. We wake up Christmas morning and head to the airport.
“Me, Jake, my Mam, Dad, brother. I’m taking everyone to the Maldives.”
Meanwhile, Charlotte recently revealed how a bout of prenatal depression left her bed-bound and unwilling to speak to her fiancé.
Charlotte revisited the tougher moments of her pregnancy in a new chat with Giovanna Fletcher‘s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast.
“Oh I didn’t enjoy that mind,” she said. “It was awful. I got a bit of prenatal depression, it was awful. It felt like it was… it was only two weeks. But it was two weeks of feeling like I could not get out of bed.
“There was a dark cloud hanging over my head. It wasn’t that I didn’t want the baby. It was just I felt so low. Like I didn’t have any deep or dark thoughts.
“I just couldn’t muster up a conversation with Jake. I didn’t want to go out anywhere. I didn’t want to do anything. I just like was flat, I can’t even describe it. It’s indescribable. When you go through something like that.”
