Charlotte Church
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: Llandaff, Cardiff, 21 February 2020
- Associated with: Gavin Henson
In her new film, due out in 2007, Char, 20, will play a character in a small Welsh town which is blown apart by corruption, according to the Daily Express.
Since finding fame as the Voice Of An Angel, Charlotte, who lives with boyfriend Gavin Henson, has successfully moved into TV with her hit series, The Charlotte Church Show.
"I love doing TV," she said. "But I don’t want to always be just sitting on a sofa doing interviews. I’d love a bad girl part in a Brit film."
Cardiff-born Charlotte has also appeared on Heartbeat and Have I Got News For You on UK television.
Let’s hope her new flick gets a better reception than her debut movie - which reportedly managed just 10 days on UK cinema screens.
Charlotte’s trash troubles - Dec 11 2006
It seems Charlotte Church landed herself in hot water with her local council after apparently piling up sacks of rubbish outside her plush Cardiff home.
The Voice Of An Angel had reportedly put her trash outside on the wrong day, and as a result received a visit from local waste officers.
The singer was then told how to separate household waste from recyclable items, reports the Daily Star.
According to Materials Recycling Week, the curvy 20-year-old was also told to place her bags in wheelie bins in the future and was reminded of the correct day to pop out her trash.
"We dealt with her as we would any other resident," a Cardiff Council spokesman told the Star.
However, it sounds as if Charlotte won’t be in Cardiff much longer anyway, as she and boyfriend Gavin Henson are rumoured to be splashing out £1.3 million on a country farmhouse.
The pair are thought to be eyeing up a six-bedroom love nest 20 miles from Cardiff, according to Closer magazine.
The country pile also boasts two kitchens and three cottages and is set on a whopping 50 acre plot nestled in the Welsh valleys.
Charlotte’s karaoke ban - Nov 28 2006
It seems Charlotte Church’s voice isn’t quite so angelic after she’s had a drink or two.
Apparently she was recently thrown off stage in a karaoke bar in Paris - because the DJ didn’t think her singing was up to scratch, reports The News of the World.
The Welsh warbler wanted to sing Tom Jones’ Green, Green Grass Of Home but said: "We’d had quite a bit of French wine and I forgot the words."
So while her pal dealt with the verse, the Voice Of An Angel merely mimed and joined in during the chorus.
"Then when I got up to have another go I wasn’t allowed. My pal was shouting, ’this is Charlotte Church, she’s famous’ but the DJ wasn’t going to budge," she said.
It seems Charlotte is a bit of a fan of fellow Welsh star Tom Jones - this weekend she snapped up a £1,100 picture of the crooner in a charity auction, before giving it back to be re-auctioned.

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.
