‘This is the best job I’ve ever had’: Charlotte Crosby talks being a mom to daughter Alba and cries over her grandmother Jean’s death
Charlotte Crosby called being a mom “the best job she’s ever had” and got emotional when she discussed her grandmother Jean’s death.
The former Geordie Shore star, 32, appeared on Channel 4’s Steph’s Packed Lunch on Thursday, cradling four-month-old daughter Alba in her arms.
Discussing parenting, Charlotte gushed, “I absolutely love it. This is by far the best job I’ve ever had in my entire life. Honestly, you don’t feel like that.’
The star, who shares Alba with boyfriend Jake Ankers, said that as a parent she sleeps more than before, adding: “I have a baby who loves to sleep.”
Elsewhere, Charlotte discussed her mother Letitia’s battle with breast cancer after being diagnosed last year following a routine mammogram.

Heartbreaking: Charlotte discussed her Grandma Jean’s death, saying, “(It was) so hard. I couldn’t even talk about it too much because it would make me cry. It was just the hardest thing ever’
The media personality previously shared that Letitia had no symptoms or nodules and admitted that she initially refused to believe her mother’s diagnosis.
Charlotte said: ‘She has completed all her treatments and is doing very well. She has yet to get her two shots and I think that’s for about five years.
She added: “We’re just waiting for another mammogram and when that’s all clear, she can ring the doorbell.”
Charlotte also opened up about the death of her grandmother Jean, who passed away in November.
Speaking of her passing, Charlotte said, “(It was) so hard. I couldn’t even talk about it too much because it would make me cry. It was just the hardest thing ever.’
Steph asked if Jean had met Alba before she died, leading Charlotte to burst into tears when she replied, “Yes, she did.”
Charlotte announced Jean’s passing, writing, ‘My little grandma Jean ❤️ Heartbroken is nowhere near how I feel. The love of my life and the light of my life.
“From a little girl to now I have adored every inch of you. My brave strong grandmother. My beautiful grandmother. You were there when I entered the world and I was there when you took your last breath and left ❤️

“I don’t think my world will ever be the same without you. I named my daughter after you Grandma for a reason. I don’t think you’ll ever really know how much I loved and adored you and still do.
“So many memories and this video is just a glimpse of them and it’s where I can watch and relive them constantly, it’s where I can visit you whenever I want ❤️
“What I would give for one more day, one more hour even with you. I miss you grandma. I hope to see you again one day because I’m already longing to hear you say ‘hello my love’ when I come in to see you ❤️
“Please hold tight to your loved ones, because life is really precious.”
Steph’s Packed Lunches airs weekdays on Channel 4 at 12:30pm.
