Geordie Shore cast member Charlotte Crosby will be the star of a new reality TV show on the BBC, following her life in Sunderland as she prepares to become a mum.

Charlotte In Sunderland will launch on BBC Three and the BBC iPlayer in due course, it was confirmed on Monday (June 20).

The entertainment show will give fans and viewers access all areas, following 32-year-old Charlotte in her hometown as she balances her business and personal life, all while preparing to become a first-time mum with boyfriend Jake Ankers.

The programme will give an intimate view of Charlotte’s life, featuring many of the issues other young women face – including maintaining a work/life balance, moving in with a partner, money, health and friendships.

"I hope everyone's ready for the ride ahead!”
