The 26-year-old reality TV star has "frustrated" bosses of her new show 'Celebs Go Dating' after she failed to tell them she was in a relationship with Ash Harrison, whom she met in July, because it means she never intended to fall for anyone from the programme, which documents her search for love.

A source told The Sun Online: "Bosses [of the show] are frustrated to say the least. The whole point of the programme was to help her find a man and move on from [her ex-boyfriend] Gaz [Beadle] but she had someone all along."

Bosses lined up Charlotte for the show earlier this year when she split with her on/off boyfriend Gaz Beadle after she found out he cheated on her while she was pregnant with his baby.

However, it didn't take Charlotte - who suffered an ectopic pregnancy, which means the foetus grew outside the womb and she lost the little one, a few months ago - long to find a new man to distract her.

A source explained: "They've [Charlotte and Ash have] known each other a good while and there's always been a bit of flirty banter. Ash saw on Twitter she was up in Manchester with her girls and got in touch and they've been inseparable since. They're having fun and are seeing each other again soon."

Meanwhile, Gaz - who dated Charlotte for five turbulent years - admitted earlier this week that he'll always have a "place" in his life for the blonde beauty and wishes her well in life.

He said: "She's got on with her life, she's dating now, I've started doing my own thing, she's doing her thing and I think eventually we'll both move on with the next chapter of our lives ... I've always got a place for Charlotte in my life."
