Charlotte and her millions - Aug 05
Charlotte Church is worried she won’t get her hands on her multi-million pound fortune until she’s 68. The 18-year-old singer claims she can’t access her trust fund until she’s old enough to understand the value of money. But the former child star fears it won’t be for another 50 years. She revealed: "I’m not getting my cash - full stop. It’s staying until I learn the value of money and maybe that’ll take another 50 years."
However, Charlotte claims there is no danger of spending all her money in one go - because she’s a cheapskate. She confessed: "I’m really stingy. I would quite like a yacht, though." Meanwhile, Charlotte’s mum wants to send her away to London. The Welsh star, who currently lives in Cardiff near her friends and family, has revealed her mother, Maria, thinks she should move to the English capital for the sake of her pop career. But Charlotte, who is dating Welsh rugby hunk Gavin Henson, is desperate to stay in her hometown.
She revealed to Britain’s Elle Girl magazine: "My mum wants me to move to London for my career, but I’m staying in Cardiff for now - it’s where all my friends and family are and I love it."
Ex releases book - July 05
It seems poor Charlotte’s ex isn’t finished with her yet...Steven Johnson is releasing a book revealing yet more intimate details about their relationship. Is there anything he hasn’t spilled already? Steven’s father George said: "It’s very good - the Church family will be left holding their heads. Steven is the angel, not Charlotte."
Right...As ’angel’ is usually the description we give to kiss-and-tell-all love rats huh? The book, titled Hell’s Angel, will be released in September. Charlotte, get your hunky rugby player boyf to have a word.
Just say no - May 05
Charlotte Church has hit out at ridiculous drug rumours. The young singer has laughed off tabloid reports that she was seen smoking cannabis in public, saying that she was in fact smoking a cigarette. "There have been ridiculous tabloid rumours," she explained to Glamour magazine in a lengthy interview "my favourite one was when a tabloid tried to make out I was smoking a spliff in this picture when it was actually a Berkeley menthol." She also laughed off the rumours that she is to sing at Jordan’s wedding.

Five years later and Charlotte was making a name for herself at local karaoke competitions, and then...
"I was watching the Richard and Judy show on TV and they said they were looking for talented kids. No-one was around so I phoned up," she says. "The producers said I had to sing down the phone. So I did ’Pie Jesu’ and that was it, I was invited on the show. Mum and Dad were the last to find out!"
This led to even more television performances, as well as high profile concerts at the London Palladium, the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff Arms Park. "It all went a bit mad!" laughs Charlotte.
Now eighteen Charlotte has become a media icon. A ill advised relationship with ’model’ and all round bad boy Steven Johnson and on going arguments with her mother have put Charlotte very much under public scrutiny, but it has only made her more popular. Charlotte will turn her hand to anything these days, she presented Have I Got News For You? made a guest appearance on a dance track and even starred in a film, I’ll Be There. She is a chat show regular, openly voicing her opinions about fellow stars in a very down to earth way.
She may be one of the richest teenagers in the UK after coming into her fortune on her eighteenth but Charlotte Church is as normal as they come.
