CHARLOTTE Dawson’s fiance has returned to her social media for the first time since the couple’s romantic getaway after it was revealed he had been sexting another woman.
Rugby player Matt Sarsfield, 33, was seen beaming as he reunited with the pair’s two kids following his staycation with Charlotte, 32, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child.
Charlotte, who showed off her growing bump during the £200 a night Lake District getaway to celebrate her 32nd birthday, captured her man greeting their brood as they arrived on home turf.
He was seen scooping up their son Jude, aged one, for a cuddle before an excited Noah, aged three, ran around with a huge smile on his face.
Ex On The Beach babe Charlotte then gave Jude a huge as she made a glam entrance to her home in a huge pair of sunglasses and chunky knit.
The happy scenes came after the MTV star’s loved ones were “begging her to ditch” the sports player after he was discovered to have been messaging another woman back in August.
At the time, the proud mum was understandably left “blindsided and humiliated” as the scandal played out.
Yet she appears to have put her heartache to one side and, after Matt made a return to her grid, was proud to feature him on her social media stories.
In her happy caption she wrote: “This is the way our boys greeted us after a rare night away.”
Charlotte’s words also targeted the troll who had called Social Services on her during her relaxing getaway – with the star forced to bat back claims she had been drinking Prosecco.
She added the words: “The fact you’d want to get our kids taken off us is crazy?
“Look how happy they are.
“You sick sick evil twisted human.”
As well as rebuilding her relationship following the sexting scandal, Charlotte has been battling trolls who repeatedly have called in the authorities over her parenting.
In her her birthday Instagram post, she showed a bottle of bubbly dubbed ‘Nozeco’ – an alcohol-free version of Prosecco which she used to celebrate.
Here's how Charlotte and Matt's relationship has played out
November 2016 – Charlotte and Matt meet shortly after she splits from a short-lived fling with Geordie Shore’s Gaz Beadle.
February 2017 – The couple split for the first time just before Valentine’s Day over Charlotte’s party lifestyle.
July 2017 – While filming Celebs Go Dating, Charlotte is told she is ‘sabotaging herself’ and she admits it’s because she was struggling to get over Matt.
September 2017 – Charlotte jets to Greece after splitting from CGD castmate Frankie Cocozza.
December 2017 – Charlotte and Matt reveal they are back together.
March 2018 – Charlotte admits to The Sun that she ‘couldn’t stay away’ from Matt, with the couple also moving in together.
October 2018 – The couple look loved up while on holiday together in Spain.
August 2020 – Charlotte reveals she is pregnant with her and Matt’s first baby together.
September 5, 2020 – Matt proposes to Charlotte next to the statue of her late father, Les Dawson.
January 26, 2021 – Charlotte gives birth to their first baby boy. She later announces his name is Noah, with the entire birth being filmed for reality show Celebrity Bumps.
February 2022 – Matt, Charlotte and Noah move into their brand new family home in Lancashire.
April 2022 – Charlotte reveals she’s tragically suffered a miscarriage.
February 2023 – Charlotte announces she’s pregnant with her second baby with Matt.
July 30, 2023 – Charlotte gives birth to her second baby boy, who she later reveals is called Jude.
October 2023 – Baby Jude is rushed to hospital after contracting RSV bronchitis, and has to remain in hospital for ‘a few days’
February 2024 –Baby Jude is readmitted into hospital after contracting bronchitis for a second time at seven months old.
August 3, 2024 – Charlotte left ‘devastated and humiliated’ after finding ‘dirty texts’ on Matt’s phone to another woman.
August 4, 2024: Charlotte throws Jude his first birthday party, with Matt notably not in attendance.
August 5, 2024: Charlotte breaks her silence, saying she is extremely hurt, upset and disappointed by the news. She says her children remain her top priority.
While marking the occasion, she noted at the end of the caption: “I’m showing you all the nozeco cos apparently I’m drinking when I’m preggo to the idiot who is still ringing social services on me & rang on my birthday…
“I will get my say one day and I can’t wait. You low life, you didn’t win or ruin my birthday.
“I just laugh at you because you live an extremely sad life & waste social services time when they have people who really need their help.”
Last July, a vile complaint was made against her claiming she had given her son Noah alcohol and had been posted naked photos of him on Instagram.
It came just after a similar situation back two months prior in May, following a break from social media.
MCDONALD’S fans have been desperate to get their hands on the fast-food giant’s latest breakfast item ever since it was announced a fortnight ago.
The Mini Hash Browns promise the same crunchy exterior and soft fluffy inside that we all know and love – but how did they stand up in a taste test?
I got an exclusive invite to try the new menu item before anyone else ahead of its public debut next week.
I have always been a sucker for a Hash Brown, so I was keen to give the new Mini version a try – and they did not disappoint.
The exterior is extra golden and crunchy as you would expect with any good Hash Brown – but because they’re smaller, there is more batter and that makes them extra crunchy.
And inside, the potato is still golden and fluffy while melting in the mouth.
I think they’re therefore better than the original Hash Brown and would give them a score of 4.5 out of 5.
The Mini Hash Browns do not come with sauce, but they are much tastier when dipped in tomato ketchup or brown sauce, so I think it’s worth getting a dip to go.
The treats come in a portion of five, which McDonald’s suggests makes them perfect for customers who want to enjoy the classic Hash Brown in smaller bite-sized pieces.
But I think you’d need a few more than five to feel full, personally. I accidentally ended up eating 13 during my taste test.
There is also a sharebox of fifteen Mini Hash Browns for sharing with friends and family.
But I’d be surprised if the sharebox feeds more than two or three hungry children at breakfast.
The portions of five cost £1.49, while the Sharebox of fifteen is £2.99.
In comparison, a single regular-size hashbrown costs £1.19.
The breakfast item will be available in participating McDonald’s from next week.
But the Hash Browns are only on sale for a limited time only, so if you want to give them a try you need to be quick.
The Mini Hash Browns will join a whole host of other popular breakfast items including the McMuffins and Breakfast Wraps.
They can only be picked up during breakfast hours, which are between 6am and 11am.
Fans of the fast food chain will know that it usually updates its regular menu, which is served from 11am onwards, every six weeks or so.
But the breakfast menu is rarely refreshed.
The last item to be added was in January this year, as we exclusively revealed when the popular Breakfast Wrap became available once again.
The popular item was axed in 2020 and fans had been calling for it to come back.
Meanwhile, the Mighty McMuffin first appeared on menus in November 2022.
The snack then returned in March last year and has been available ever since.
It comes with double bacon, cheese, sausage, egg and ketchup or brown sauce.
Everything you need to know...
You may not know but you can end up being charged more solely based on the McDonald’s restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found that a Big Mac meal can be up to 30p cheaper at restaurants just two miles away from each other.
Meanwhile, you can bag a Big Mac and fries for only £2.99 if you fill in a feedback survey on any old McDonald’s receipt.
The receipt should have a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website when you submit your survey.
You will then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 deal.
Check out all the various apps and platforms if you order McDonald’s to your home too.
Our research found that some can charge up to £1.20 more than others.
You can find your nearest McDonald’s branch by using the store locator tool on its website.

THOUSANDS of people are fleeing Florida as a monster 155mph hurricane barrels towards the state.
Hurricane Milton’s near-record winds and expected storm surge are set to bring destruction to areas already reeling from Helene’s devastation 12 days ago.
The Category 4 hurricane is expected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday.
More than a million people have to ordered to evacuate from its path – with a further six million put under hurricane watch warning.
The storm will be the worst to impact the Tampa area in more than 100 years if it stays on the current track, according to the National Weather Service.
Mayor Jane Castor warned the city’s almost 400,000 residents to urgently evacuate.
She told CNN: “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die.
“This is something that I have never seen in my life and anyone who was born and raised in the Tampa Bay area has never seen this before.”
Florida governor Ron DeSantis said the hurricane is already far stronger than predicted two days ago.
He said: “This is a ferocious hurricane.
“At the strength it is now, this is a really, really strong storm.
“The effects of that, not just from the storm surge but from wind damage and debris, will be really, really significant.
“This is not a storm you want to take a risk on.”
The Interstate 75 northbound was bumper to bumper and moving at just 7mph on Monday afternoon as terrified residents fled the state.
Authorities have opened up the left northbound shoulder of Interstate 75 from Tampa to Interstate 10 in north Florida, and along eastbound Interstate 4, to help motorists get away.
Almost the entirety of Florida’s west coast was under a hurricane warning early Tuesday as the Category 4 storm and its 155mph winds crept toward the state at 9mph.
The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record is 1980’s Allen, which reached wind speeds of 190mph as it moved through the Caribbean and Gulf before striking Texas and Mexico.
A HURRICANE is another name for a tropical cyclone - a powerful storm that forms over warm ocean waters near the equator.
Those arising in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific are called hurricanes, while those in the western Pacific and Indian Ocean are dubbed typhoons or cyclones.
North of the equator they spin anticlockwise because of the rotation of the earth, however, they turn the opposite way in the southern hemisphere.
Cyclones are like giant weather engines fuelled by water vapour as it evaporates from the sea.
Warm, moist air rises away from the surface, creating a low-pressure system that sucks in air from surrounding areas – which in turn is warmed by the ocean.
As the vapour rises it cools and condenses into swirling bands of cumulonimbus storm clouds.
The system grows and spins faster, sucking in more air and feeding off the energy in seawater that has been warmed by the sun.
At the centre, a calm “eye” of the storm is created where cooled air sinks towards the ultra-low pressure zone below, surrounded by spiralling winds of warm air rising.
The faster the wind, the lower the air pressure at the centre and the storm grows stronger and stronger.
Tropical cyclones usually weaken when they hit land as they are no longer fed by evaporation from the warm sea.
But they often move far inland – dumping vast amounts of rain and causing devastating wind damage – before the “fuel” runs out and the storm peters out.
Hurricanes can also cause storm surges when the low air pressure sucks the sea level higher than normal, swamping low-lying coasts.
Forecasters warned of a possible 8- to 12-foot storm surge in Tampa Bay.
Milton’s center could come ashore Wednesday in the Tampa Bay region, which has not endured a direct hit by a major hurricane in more than a century.
Scientists expect the system to weaken slightly before landfall, though it could retain hurricane strength as it churns across central Florida toward the Atlantic Ocean.
That would largely spare other states ravaged by Helene, which killed at least 230 people on its path from Florida to the Appalachian Mountains.
LOS Angeles Dodgers star Walker Buehler reportedly had his watch stolen after he and his wife were surrounded by a mob.
The alleged theft happened over the weekend at the racetrack Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
It’s claimed that a mob of people surrounded the pitcher, and his shirt sleeve was unbuttoned, as reported by the ABC affiliate KABC.
Then, his watch was reportedly swiped from his wrist.
It comes just weeks after San Francisco 49ers star Ricky Pearsall was shot after a suspected robber tried to swipe his Rolex watch.

LEGENDARY actor Ed Wheeler, who starred in the hit show Law & Order, has died at 88.
His wife Margaret revealed that the screen star died in a New Jersey hospital on August 21 after suffering pneumonia complications.
He appeared in six episodes between 1992 and 2004, as reported by Deadline.
Margaret paid a heartbreaking tribute to her husband on social media.
“Your talent, dedication, and passion were unmatched—whether on stage, in front of the camera, or behind the scenes,” she posted on Instagram.
“My Honey Ed, you were more than just a public figure; you were a guiding light, a supportive partner, and my heart.
“We built a life and created art together, and your legacy will continue to inspire. I will forever miss your voice, your wisdom, and your generosity.
“To all who knew Ed, thank you for your love and support during this time.
“Let’s remember him for the joy he brought into our lives and the profound impact he had on the world.
Wheeler’s career in television and film spanned four decades.
He starred in an episode of the 1988 show Monsters and featured in Cosby in 1996, according to his IMDB.
The actor was also known for starring in shows such as Soul Food and the sitcom Hope & Faith.
Wheeler, born in 1936, also appeared in the police drama Blue Bloods, which stars Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan.
His appearance in the show proved to be his final role.
The actor also appeared in movies such as Harrison Ford’s Presumed Innocent, where he played a detective and the 1998 movie Godzilla.
He also starred in commercials for products such as Sudafed and Luv diapers.
AFRICAN GAMES champion Clement Kemboi has been found dead at the age of 32.
The body of the former Kenyan athlete was found by police in the town of Iten in his home country on Monday.
Kemboi’s body has been taken to Iten County Referral Hospital morgue and is awaiting an autopsy.
He is best-known for winning the 3000m steeplechase at the 2015 African Games.
Kemboi’s personal best time in the distance came at the Doha Diamond League in 2016 when he ran eight minutes and 10.65 seconds.
This earned him sixth place, five and a half seconds behind winner Conseslus Kipruto.
Kemboi’s PB in the regular 3000m was 7:51:65.
His passing comes after 2016 World Athletics Under-20 800m champion Kipyegon Bett died on Sunday.
Kenyan Bett had been in and out of hospital with a liver problem, before his sister confirmed his death.
Purity Kirui told BBC Sport Africa: “He had been sick, complaining of stomach pains for about a month. The doctors said he had a liver problem and had been in and out of hospital.
“Last week we took him to hospital after he started vomiting blood and he was admitted. I went to see him [on Sunday] morning and he told me he was in pain.
“He told our dad, who is a pastor, to pray for him because he didn’t feel he would survive and after 12 noon he died. We tried everything to save him, but he left us. It’s very painful.”
Bett was a promising runner in his youth and followed up his junior world championship success by winning world bronze in London in 2017.
But a year later Bett was hit with a four-year doping ban and he struggled on his return, with his sister revealing he “started drinking a lot”.
His coach Japheth Kemei described Bett as a gifted athlete and he expected him to make a comeback after his ban, but suggested Bett was unable to due to his battles with depression.
