Didn’t take him long - March 04
What a surprise, Charlotte’s ex has sold the story of their relationship to the News Of The World.

The kiss and tell ’male model’ Steven Johnson reveals that a 16 year old Charlotte would creep out of her parents ?750,000 house to cuddle up with him in bed. She would throw a coat over her PJ’s (attractive, girl!), climb from her bedroom skylight onto the roof, and shimmy down a drainpipe to get a taxi to his terraced house. She would then get another cab to be back at her house by 8. This was quite dangerous as Charlotte’s room was three floors up, but she apparently said it was exciting.

Steven said ’Charlotte ran away from home because she was sick of her family and the way they wouldn’t accept me. It was so frustrating. I wasn’t a bad-boy tearaway. I’ve never been in trouble but they wouldn’t give us a chance.’
