Charlotte Dawson ‘gutted’ as her go-to bikini fails to fit on first post-baby holiday

Mum of three Charlotte Dawsonhas candidly confessed to a bikini “fail” as her favourite holiday two-piece no longer fits after jetting off on her first child-free holiday since giving birth to her third baby.

The mum-of-three, 32, flew to Majorca with fiancé Matt Sarsfield over the weekend to celebrate his mum’s 60th birthday but revealed she was “gutted” when her go-to white and gold buckle bikini no longer fit her.

Taking to Instagramon Tuesday night, Charlotte shared two snaps of herself in the two-piece – one taken before she was pregnant with her daughter Gigi, who was born in March, and one postpartum.

“When the bikini you packed doesn’t fit!,” she told fans in the caption. “Was totally gutted (literally!) to discover my fave holiday bikini doesn’t fit anymore, hahaha but surely I should of knew.”

“This one’s always been a banker for me cos it (usually) covers ma belleh. But when you’re post partrum from babay no 3 there’s just a bit too much jelleh on the belleh!! But that’s ok.”

Charlotte added: “Like I said the other week I am literally the biggest I’ve ever been now. A whole stone heavier than I was after Noah & Jude. Nothing in my wardrobe fits me anymore.

“But I’m definitely getting back into my Belleh Blaster plan just gently on the exercise but starting by following the diet plan. Adding an extra 500 calories a day though because I’m still breastfeeding. (Before the trolls start.)

“I’ve done it before with my plan – not once but twice, so I know it works so please do join me on journey number 3.” However, Charlotte was flooded with supportive comments from fans and friends.

One wrote: “You look beautiful either way my lovely! But do what makes u feel good” another added: “I love you Charlotte. Your one of the realest girls ever xxx”. And a third penned: “how open and honest you are and how your are embracing how clever a female body is to carry a baby. You are taking your time and not pushing your body hard to get rid of the baby weight and putting your children first. You are an inspiration to women across the world, you are beautiful an inspirational woman, wife and mummy”.

Her candid post comes amid a turbulent few months for the reality star, after her fashion brand Dawsylicious was plunged into financial trouble earlier this year. In May it emerged the wholesale clothing and footwear company which she co-owns with Matt has gone into voluntary liquidation with debts of more than £73,000.

According to Companies House, the firm faces an £88,000 tax bill, with just £15,000 in assets to offset it. Dawsylicious, which launched in 2020, has also been issued three strike notices since last year, while its accounts and confirmation statement are overdue.

It’s another test for Charlotte and Matt, who last year patched things up after Matt’s sexting scandal broke before she was pregnant with Gigi.

Charlotte previously admitted 2024 had been a “rollercoaster”, revealing “It was a lot last year and especially being pregnant dealing with all that was quite hard.”

“But everything’s a lot better now, obviously we’ve sorted things out and we’re really excited to grow our family.”

Matt also broke down in tears while addressing the scandal on her podcast The Naughty Corner, telling listeners he “massively regrets” his actions and was “heartbroken” by what he’d done.

Charlotte reflected “It was quite a big thing for Matthew. He’s the hardest guest I’ve ever had on the podcast because obviously he was very nervous, but we really want to make it work and be a family.”
