"Ain’t no Dawsy parteh without chips and gravehhh with mine and Matthew's faces on thank you so much," she said on Instagram.

The newly-engaged couple also had a chocolate fondue fountain.

Her man went down on one knee in front of her late father's statue.

He asked Charlotte  to marry him the day before they were due to find out the gender of their baby.

Sharing photos from the special moment in Lytham St Annes, while flashing her engagement ring, Charlotte wrote to her followers on Instagram: "OMG OMG OMG my darlings IM CHUFFIN ENGAGED!!!!! to the man of my dreams.     

"I cant believe it!!! My baby, my life, my world @matt_sarsfield couldn’t of done it better he got on one knee at my dads statue!!! the day before we find out what gender our baby is. I can’t cope.

"My fairytale came true I feel the luckiest girl in the world.

"My dad got to witness me get engaged."

Les, from Collyhurst, died in 1993 when Charlotte was just eight months old, and she feels the pregnancy is a 'gift' from her her dad.

In 2016 Charlotte brought her cardboard cut-out of her dad on the set of the ITV show This Morning.

She said she would make sure Les will be there when she marries her dream man by taking the cutout of him to the church.

She told the show: “Hopefully he’ll be there. He’ll be down the aisle waiting for me.”
