Charlotte Church’s spokesperson has confirmed that the singer turned tv presenter is pregnant by long-term boyfriend Gavin Henson.

Rumours began circulating last week after renowned party fan Charlotte elected to have a sober 21st birthday celebration with her family.

Her management have now confirmed Charlotte is expecting a baby later in the year, saying on her website: “Charlotte felt she had no choice other than to go public, and she was keen to ensure that her fans had the opportunity to read the truth.”

No further details were given other than to say Charlotte is in the early stages of the pregnancy and that she and Gavin, who have been together for two years, are “delighted” with the news.

Charlotte has previously expressed the hope to start a family with Gavin at some point in the future but brushed off previous pregnancy rumours, saying she was too young to have a baby at the moment.
