CHARLOTTE CHURCH - CHURCH TO LOSE POST-BABY WEIGHT SLOWLY

Welsh pop star CHARLOTTE CHURCH is shunning celebrity diets and will slim down naturally following the birth of her first child next month (Sep07), according to the singer's mum. The 21-year-old former soprano, who is eight months pregnant with her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson's child, is determined to lose her baby weight without hitting the gym at all hours and cutting out the calories. Church's mother Maria, 42, says, "Charlotte isn't into the celebrity gym thing at all. Celebrities who have babies seem to be stick thin again within weeks - they must spend every waking hour at the gym. "Charlotte is determined to get the weight off, but she will do it gradually. "It usually takes most women six months to a year and that is the goal she has set herself. Being with her new baby is far more important to Charlotte than some silly workout."
