CHARLOTTE CHURCH - CHARLOTTE CHURCH LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

CHARLOTTE CHURCH has launched a "cuddle" campaign to raise £4 million for a Welsh children's hospital.

The singer turned TV presenter has been a patron of the Noah's Ark Fund at the Children's Hospital for Wales in Cardiff for eight years, but says that being a mum herself has made her want to do more for the cause.

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "It's crazy - I just feel much, much more strongly about this appeal. It means so much more when you are a mother.

"I think once you have a child you become a mother to all. It makes you realise how precious babies are."

Charlotte spent a day at the hospital earlier this week, as part of the campaign, and lavished cuddles on a number if the tiny residents.

She told the BBC that she is hoping her boyfriend - Welsh rugby star GAVIN HENSON - will join her in becoming a patron for the charity.

Meanwhile, Charlotte recently revealed that she will be taking her six-month-old daughter Ruby with her on her chat show when filming recommences in a few weeks.
