Geordie Shore icon Charlotte Crosby has revealed a brand new parenting rule she has been forced to adopt, while also apologising to her fans in the process.
The 35 year old reality star, who is a doting mum to daughters Alba and Pixi, took to Instagram stories with a candid post on Wednesday evening, as she explained the reason for the new addition to her day to day life, despite it often making her feel as though she were being “rude.”
In the post, Charlotte revealed she would no longer be interacting with her fans in public when she was out and about with her daughters, in order to preserve their privacy and protect their safety, by giving them her full undivided attention.

“I’m so grateful to everyone who supports me and takes the time to say hello,” Charlotte began in the post. “It truly means a lot. However, I’ve taken some time this holiday to reflect with the girls on some moments when I’ve felt uneasy, for example, when I’m out alone with the children.
“As a parent, their safety and well-being will always come first. When I’m with them, I can’t step away or leave them unattended to take photos.”
Earlier this month, Charlotte and her fiancé Jake Ankers took their family away to Spain for a well earned holiday, yet even while soaking up the sun, the couple were approached by eager fans who wanted to snap a photo – something which Charlotte was forced to turn down.
“Over the summer, there have been times we have been out just us three and people have asked [for photos],” she explained. “I always feel so incredibly rude saying no. I hope going forward you can respect that if I’m alone with the girls it’s not safe at all to not have my full attention on them at all times.
“If we cross paths when I’m on my own, I’ll always do my best to stop, take photos, and say hi.”
While the decision to prioritise her young family may not come as too much as a surprise, it isn’t the first time that Charlotte and Jake have been forced to set boundaries when it comes to protecting their private life from eager fans.
Earlier this year, a super fan travelled all the way to Charlotte’s former home in the hopes of being able to take a selfie with the star, and even went so far as knocking on the front door to do so!
