“It looked like a Baz Luhrmann film set. There were candles everywhere and lots of my friends had made garlands.
“Then it started to drizzle in the morning. I live near a golf course and I could hear the golfers starting, and I started talking to myself. So I walked into the house and I put it on the bathroom floor!
Charlotte previously opened up about Freda’s chaotic birth on Jaime Winstone’s Greatest Night Ever podcast.

She explained, “I ended up screaming my t*** in the bathroom.”
Speaking on the podcast, she explained: “Last time I gave birth I tried to give birth in a forest setting but ended up screaming on a bathroom floor.
“I had it all planned out, it was so beautiful, I had the birth pool outside among the trees, I had this cute bunting my friends made for me. And then cut me down on the floor, on all fours, screaming my t***.
“So yeah, not quite the super-duper holistic, organic, zen-like birth I had planned,” she joked.

This isn’t the first time she’s detailed her childbirth experience, which happened more than a decade after her first two labor experiences.
Speaking on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdecomb’s Parenting Hell podcast last year, Charlotte described the birth as “slapping me”.
She said: ‘I loved the birth, but my third birth came and b***h slapped me in the face. I was incredibly overconfident, because the first two times I was 21 and 22, and my body knew exactly what to do.

Charlotte first announced she was pregnant to fans in a low-key tweet in March 2020, revealing she was pulling out of a charity concert due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Holly Willoughby had blurted out the same day in March that Charlotte welcomed her third child during an appearance on This Morning, telling her: “You have three children now!”
She said, “You have the three children now. How is home schooling going? ‘, as Charlotte replied, ‘I’ve been homeschooling my own children for a few years now.
