Charlotte Hawkins and her daughter Ella Rose applauded NHS and key workers on Thursday

In 2015, Charlotte introduced a then baby Ella Rose to the world in an exclusive interview and photoshoot with HELLO! magazine. Ella Rose was her much-longed-for child, who she shares with husband Mark Herbert. On the moment their daughter was born, Charlotte said: "We both had tears in our eyes when they placed Ella Rose on my chest after the birth. Nothing prepares you for that feeling. All of a sudden, this tiny being that you've been carrying around for nine months is there with you. It's a very moving experience. From our point of view, she was a miracle baby, one that we had wanted for such a long time."

Sadly, one important person in Charlotte's life who didn't have the chance to meet Ella Rose was her father Frank, who passed away in 2015 from Motor Neurone Disease. "He died a month before Ella Rose was born, I've got to be thankful that I was able to tell him I was pregnant at last," she told ITV's Lorraine last year. But despite Frank and Ella Rose never having the chance to meet, Charlotte admitted he is still a huge part of her daughter's life. She added: "She knows all about Granddad Frank, when we go on holiday she waves to him out of the plane, she thinks he lives in the sky because he's in heaven. He's living on through her."
