Charlotte Crosby announced the birth of her daughter, Alba Jean Ankers, in October last year, and has recently revealed she is ready for another baby.

In a chat with OK magazine, Charlotte admitted she has been "so proud" of what her body has done, and it has given her "the bug now" for being a mum.

"I think the human body is an amazing thing. I already can't wait to have another baby. I've got the bug now!"

She admitted she's "feeling absolutely great" now that little Alba is sleeping through the night now and is surprised as she'd heard a lot of negative stories about being a new mum.

"I'm feeling absolutely great, I am the happiest person in the world right now. I can't believe I'm so lucky to have this beautiful little girl who is just so precious," she said.

"I was so worried going into my pregnancy because all I'd hear were negative stories about being a mum. Everyone wants to tell you how tired you're going to be, how difficult it's going to be, how much your life will change when the baby comes along.

"But actually, it's been the complete opposite. It's absolutely incredible, I love every second of it. It's the best job I have ever had, and I have had a lot of jobs!

Meanwhile, Crosby has been working on a BBC Three show titled Charlotte in Sunderland following the reality star as she juggles her professional career, personal relationships and preparation for motherhood.

"I am beyond excited to be bringing my crazy life, my business ventures, much-loved family, future hubby, and my precious bump to the BBC! I hope everyone's ready for the ride ahead," she said in a statement about the upcoming show, filmed before Alba's birth.
