The first shows a svelte, preened-to-perfection Charlotte looking body confident and content.
The second candid snap shows Charlotte, 32, with natural, curly hair and no make-up.
Looking equally as fabulous, she appears filter-free, au natural with an awkward look on her face whilst pulling at her ill-fitting bikini.
Charlotte, who gave birth to her baby girl Gigi in March, posted a throwback photo alongside a current snap and told followers about her body fluctuations.
The TV star wrote: "When the bikini you packed doesn't fit! Was totally gutted (literally!) to discover my fave holiday bikini doesn't fit any more hahaha but surely I should of knew.
"This one's always been a banker for me cos it (usually) covers ma belleh. But when you're post partrum from babay no 3 there's just a bit too much jelleh on the belleh!! But that's ok."
She continued: "Like I said the other week I am literally the biggest I've ever been now. A whole stone heavier than I was after Noah & Jude.
"Nothing in my wardrobe fits me any more. But I'm definitely getting back into my Belleh Blaster plan - just gently on the exercise but starting by following the diet plan.
"Adding an extra 500 calories a day though because I'm still breast feeding. (Before the trolls start)."
Fans commented: "I love you Charlotte. You're one of the realest girls ever."
Emotional Charlotte Dawson reveals she's 'been crying constantly' after being cruelly mum shamed by vile trolls
A second vouched: "You look beautiful either way my lovely! But do what makes u feel good."
A third praised: "Love u Charlotte, you're so, so real! With great sense of humour."
"You are an inspiration to women across the world, you are a beautiful and inspirational woman, wife and mummy," applauded another.
"You go, girl," penned another supporter.
The reality TV star has recently opened up about being targeted by vile trolls - who have left her in tears.
On a recent podcast, she got emotional and said: "I'm really low at the moment. I'm really up and down. I've been crying, I'm constantly upset and feeling like… thinking about things, worrying.
"I'm trying to be positive, but... I've really been struggling, the last few weeks and days and stuff."
Speaking about trolls, she said: "Like, the things that they're saying to me, it's just awful, and I don't want to give them what they want."
Charlotte, the daughter of legendary stand-up comedian Les Dawson, has tracked the ups and downs of her pregnancy and birth.
Charlotte has been engaged to Matt Sarsfield since 2020, and together they share two sons and a baby daughter.
After the sexting scandal emerged last year, Charlotte took Matt back despite being "devastated" by the ordeal.
Now the mum of three is facing business troubles as her private company Dawsylicious goes into liquidation.

Kelly Osbourne breaks silence after dad Ozzy's funeral in heartfelt tribute

The Black Sabbath legend's death drew condolences from stars like Sir Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher and Sir Elton John Kelly Osbourne has broken her silence following her dad Ozzy's funeral in a heartfelt tribute to the rock icon online. The 40-year-old daughter of the Black Sabbath legend took to Instagram on Friday, August 1 with a moving post. ‌ Ozzy was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday. The moving funeral service beforehand, on Wednesday, saw 110 of Ozzy's loved ones join his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, who is Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. ‌ Kelly has now posted online for the first time since her father's send-off, sharing a picture of a wreath reading 'Ozzy F***ing Osbourne' placed by the bank of the water. She put no text or caption on the photo, instead leaving it as is. ‌ The 76-year-old, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, in 2019, died on Tuesday, July 22 surrounded by his close family, as they released a statement confirming the singer had passed. Before his death, Kelly had honoured her dad in a string of emotional posts. In one video, the singer could be seen sitting around the kitchen table with family just two days before he passed away. ‌ In another, she shared the lyrics to Changes - the Black Sabbath track that she and Ozzy, who had also battled with chronic nerve pain in the last years of his life, famously re-recorded together in 2003. Thousands of fans also paid tribute at Ozzy's funeral procession through Birmingham on Wednesday. In recent years, Ozzy had spoken openly about his desire to return to the UK, saying he was "desperate to come home." Sharon, wearing Ozzy's ring on a chain around her neck, walked behind his cortege alongside family including Kelly, who wore round sunglasses in a subtle nod to her dad's infamous look. ‌ The hearse carrying his coffin began its route at his former childhood home in Aston, before making its way to the city centre. The procession made a stop at the Black Sabbath Bench and bridge, where fans gathered in the area to pay their final respects. ‌ Fans chanted"Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy" as the hearse arrived, and comforted an emotional Sharon as she got out of the funeral car to lay flowers on the bridge. Following the public celebration of his life in Birmingham, a more intimate farewell took place at the family's Buckinghamshire home. Ozzy's final resting place on the grounds of his Buckinghamshire estate was entirely in line with his deeply personal wishes. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

An extract from Ozzy's 2009 autobiography, I Am Ozzy, reveals he had long expressed his hopes to Sharon: "I've said to Sharon: 'Don't cremate me, whatever you do?' I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere, with a tree planted over my head." He continued: "Don't get me wrong: I don't worry about that kind of heavy-duty stuff on a daily basis. "I've come to believe that everything in life is worked out in advance. So whenever bad s**t happens, there ain't nothing you can do about it. You've just gotta ride it out. And eventually death will come, like it comes to everyone."

Glasgow stood out as the only city outside London with multiple entries Glasgow has been named the UK's leading city for independent music outside London, with three of its beloved venues earning spots in a new ranking of the most popular indie music spaces across the country. ‌ Compiled by Betway, the list analysed Instagram and TikTok hashtag volumes, Google review scores, and annual search volumes to determine the nation's favourite independent music venues. ‌ While London venues dominate in numbers, Glasgow stood out as the only other city with multiple entries, highlighting its rich musical heritage and thriving grassroots scene. ‌ Topping the Scottish entries and coming in second overall is SWG3, a former industrial complex transformed into a dynamic creative hub. With nearly 40,000 Instagram mentions and a 4.5-star average rating on Google, the venue has become a magnet for music lovers and cultural events. ‌ It is the highest-ranking indie venue not in London and has built a reputation for supporting both international acts and homegrown talent. Joining SWG3 in the top ten is the legendary King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, ranked sixth nationally and fourth among venues outside London. ‌ Known for its intimate setting and rich musical history, King Tut's has been a key launchpad for Scottish artists including Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol. The venue enjoys over 118,000 annual Google searches and boasts a strong 4.7-star rating. With 27,300 Instagram hashtags, the venue remains a firm favourite among fans and musicians alike. ‌ The city's third entry is the iconic Barrowland Ballroom, which secured sixth place in spots outside London and eighth in the overall ranking. Long recognised for its electric atmosphere and memorable gigs, the Barrowlands has been a cornerstone of Glasgow's live music scene for decades. With its iconic sprung dance floor and distinctive neon signage, the venue received 11,600 Instagram hashtags, 450 TikTok hashtags, and an impressive 4.7-star Google rating.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's finale is coming up fast and the boys are pulling out all the stops to impress their ladies. On last night's episode, the guys headed out of the villa for today to prepare a special date night – buying the girls gifts before returning and cooking them a meal. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Cach and Toni have made things exclusive Credit: Eroteme 4 The couple have worked through their ups and downs to make it to the final Credit: Eroteme But for Cach, it was the perfect opportunity to ask Toni to take things to the next level. Stealing a private moment together on the terrace, Cach gave Toni a special gold necklace he got her from his trip out. Toni loved it, and after he put it around her neck, she pulled him in for a hug and kissed him over his face, telling him he'd done a "good job". Cach then dropped: "That's kind of my way of technically saying we're exclusive, by the way." Toni looked shocked before saying: "I thought you were going to ask me!" "Ask? I'm telling," he laughed, which she happily agreed to. Fans were delighted at the development, sharing their happiness that the pair were now officially a full-on item. "I love these two. And now their exclusive yeahhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥" wrote one on Instagram. Another added: "Cach telling Toni that him and her are exclusive had to be the most manly and romantic thing I've ever seen. "There's a way a woman wants a man to take charge and go for what he wants - so loving and respectful! and im so here for it! TONI AND CACH TO WIN!!!!!! ❤️❤️" Love Island fans slam Dejon for 'huge overreaction' as the girls play a trick on the boys "These two are so nice together and have both been their authentic selves," said a third. "They're in a battle with yaz and Jamie. It's funny all the best friends are battling.😂" While the sweet moment gave the duo warm fuzzy feelings, their romantic date was rudely interrupted with a gamechanging text message at the end of the episode. Toni received the text which read: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. "The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island tonight is Conor and Megan." Falling just before the finale, the pair were then told to pack their bags and leave. With the finale approaching Monday, are there more shock twists in store? Love Island continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2. 4 Cach surprised Toni with a necklace Credit: Eroteme
