Celebrity Traitors<\/a> star, 39, opened up about some of her personal habits during an appearance on the Walking The Dog podcast with host Emily Dean.<\/p>\nAs the pair took a stroll together, Emily remarked that Charlotte smelt \u201clovely\u201d. The musician was taken aback, replying: \u201cDo I? That\u2019s surprising. I never smell nice.\u201d Charlotte went on to explain she has ditched deodorant altogether. She shared: \u201cI don\u2019t wear any deodorant or anything, so I generally stink. I don\u2019t shave anymore. I don\u2019t shave anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reality star went on to admit that she stopped shaving \u201cprobably about 18 months ago\u201d and gradually gave up deodorant too. Her concerns about exposing her body to chemicals played a big role in this decision.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cI\u2019m just not sure about sticking all of this chemically stuff in these pores, cos your skin is so\u2026you know, it\u2019s the largest organ in the body. Everything we put on our skin goes into our bloodstream.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former classical star also spoke honestly about why her cleavage is often on display. \u201cI\u2019ve got my boobs out for the majority of the time,\u201d she said, describing them as a kind of social filter \u2013 or, as her husband jokes, a “Titmus Test”.<\/p>\n
Charlotte explained: \u201cIt really separates out the pervs immediately\u2026but it also separates out those who are maybe deeply conservative or deeply religious.\u201d She finds the whole thing freeing, and added: \u201cIt’s so liberating\u2026I feel much sexier.\u201d<\/p>\n
The star has lived a very public life since the age of 11, when she shot to fame after singing Pie Jesu on television. Her early years were marked by extraordinary success.<\/p>\n
She sold millions of records, went on tour globally, and was told she had the voice of an angel \u2013 but behind the scenes she was helping support her mother Maria through long-term mental health struggles, including bipolar disorder, anxiety, self-harm and alcohol misuse.<\/p>\n
As she grew older, Charlotte moved away from classical music and started making pop songs instead, before turning to a career in television, and later activism.<\/p>\n

Her turbulent relationship with rugby star Gavin Henson<\/a> made headlines throughout the 2000s. Although they got engaged, the pair eventually split, admitting their lifestyles had become too different for them to stay together.<\/p>\nCharlotte initially said she felt \u201coverjoyed\u201d when Gavin proposed, but both ultimately \u201chad a change of heart\u201d. They had two children during their time together: a daughter they called Ruby, and their son Dexter.<\/p>\n
Charlotte is still on good terms with Gavin, and they have continued to co-parent their now-teenage children. Charlotte went on to marry musician Jonathan Powell in 2017, welcoming a third child, Frida, in 2020.<\/p>\n
In recent years she has stepped back from celebrity life to pursue more spiritual ventures, which mainly includes running her Welsh wellness retreat The Dreaming.<\/p>\n
The centre offers nature-based experiences, sound healing sessions and even a five-day Witch retreat. Though the business has faced financial challenges, Charlotte says the work aligns more closely with her values than being a pop star did, and gives her a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n
