CHARLOTTE CHURCH - CHURCH'S PLANS TO BE MOTHER BY MID-TWENTIES

Teen soprano CHARLOTTE CHURCH is determined to be a mother by the time she reaches her mid-twenties - according to her dumped lover.

The VOICE OF AN ANGEL singer, 19, often fantasised about marrying her ex-boyfriend KYLE JOHNSON by the age of 22 and planned to have three children with him, according to the 20-year-old trainee hotel manager.

Church dumped Johnson earlier this month (FEB05) after a 14-month relationship following a series of blazing rows.

Johnson says, "She wanted to us to get married in three years' time and hoped we'd have our first baby by the time she was 26.

"My friend had a baby in early December last year. And when Charlotte saw the little boy and held him, her maternal streak really came out.

"Later on that night as we lay in bed she was going on about how beautiful our children would be. Charlotte told me, 'I think we will get married in years to come. If we had kids I think you would make a brilliant dad.'

"She said she ideally wanted three babies with at least one girl and one boy. She said she hoped the children would have my lips, her eyes, and my skin colour.

"Charlotte's mum MARIA even brought up the subject of our marriage just before Christmas. She said she could see us together for years. I was on cloud nine."
