Charlotte Dawson shares pregnancy news with niece and nephew who lost dad to suicide

Charlotte Dawson has shared her pregnancy news with her niece and nephew after they lost their dad to suicide.

The 29-year-old reality TV star, whose dad is the late Les Dawson, took to Instagram to share an adorable picture of herself cuddling her sister Sammy's children, Sienna and Henry.

Sienna had a huge smile on her face as she held up Charlotte's baby scan while her brother pulled a big grin for the camera.

The happy news comes after the children's dad and Charlotte's brother-in-law Glen took his own life.

His death came just weeks after his mum died of coronavirus.
