The reality TV star is pregnant with the pair's third child
CHARLOTTE Dawson has revealed the real reason she took fiance Matt Sarsfield back despite his cheating scandal.
The Ex On The Beach alum has insisted her two boys - and unborn baby girl - weren't the primary reasoning for her decision, which went against the calls of her loved ones to ditch him for good.

We previously exclusively reported how Charlotte's family and friends begged her to bin the shamed rugby star when his dirty texts to a stranger were exposed this summer.
Yet the couple then revealed they were expecting their third baby together - with the reality TV stunner opening up on the "rules" for her fiance as they attempted to rebuild trust.
While Matt moved out of their home after the incident, he has since returned - with the MTV star then subject to cruel online trolling for her decision to take him back.

"We share two boys, a house, businesses and we're engaged - it's not as easy as cutting everything off, so we are giving it one last go.
"At the moment everything is going in the right direction."
