Charlene announced she was expecting her first child back in March, with a emotional article on The Guardian, where she explained how her pregnancy became bittersweet when she realised she was going to be a 'motherless mother', as her mum passed away when she was 21 years old.
Writing in the heartbreaking piece, Charlene said the feeling hit her after a period of feeling very happy about becoming a mum.
'After a few weeks, the fear kicked in. Although we made the child together, it hit me that I was essentially the sole person responsible for its wellbeing. Me. And the thought of that responsibility just enveloped me. That happy cloud became something I suddenly feared.
'At that moment, curled up in the bath one morning before work, the fear turned to tears, the crying turned to wailing, and the sound bouncing off the walls was the sound of me missing the one person I needed and wanted for the next nine months. My mum.'
