The pair moved instead into a ?450,000 waterside apartment, but Steven claims insecurity and jealousy began to plague Charlotte. He said "My modelling career was starting to take off but I don’t think Charlotte liked me getting any exposure"

"And if she found out there were other women at my photo-shoots it was a nightmare. She’d either come along with me or be phoning and texting my mobile constantly. One ridiculous night she even barred me from meeting Christina Aguilera."

The relationship came to a head when reports came through that Steven had kissed an air-hostess in a Cardiif club. "It was rubbish," insisted Steven. "But when I got back to the apartment Charlotte confronted me." "I did love Charlotte. But in the end it was a nightmare."

The voice of an angel, Charlotte Church will have access to her multi million pound fortune next month.

Most of the singer’s cash has been tied up in a trust fund set up by parents Maria and James, which she thought she would not control until she is 21. Her lawyers have now told her the fortune is hers when she turns 18 on February 21.

Church told The Face magazine: "There’s no point leaving millions. I want to spend a lot of it while I’m alive."

Charlotte’s stumble into ex - 12/01/04
Oh dear - the ’bump into your ex with his new girl’ scenario happened to Charlotte Church recently, with slippery results.

Charlotte was invited to a party thrown by Justin Timberlake, and she turned up with a bunch of her girlfriends. Little did she know that her ex Steven Johnson and his new girlfriend would be there, which begs the question how the blazes did he get in? Not being funny, but he isn’t exactly famous, and his new girl’s best claim to fame seems to be she shared saliva with footballer Sol Campbell. But anyway.

Charlotte and Steven exchanged a few frosty looks, and as she went to walk past him she reportedly slipped on a stray vol-au-vent and skidded across the dance floor. Has anyone else just closed their eyes in sympathy? Apparently Tamzin burst into loud laughter and mimicked her stumble across the floor, a grown up response I’m sure you’d agree.
