Charlotte Church love nest right next to mother

Charlotte Church has bought a love nest all of her own - just yards from her mum's B&B.

The Voice of an Angel star is reported to have splashed out more than £500,000 (€752,000) on a four-bedroom Edwardian house in Cardiff. The terraced home is just up the street from the B&B run by mum Maria and stepdad James.

Charlotte has already ordered a giant bed and is expected to move in within a matter of weeks, together with boyfriend Kyle Johnson.

A pal told the Daily Star in England: "Charlotte knows her mum won't be happy about Kyle moving in, but she's in love and she has her own place, so it's up to her."

The 18-year-old was forced to quit the waterside pad she rented in trendy Cardiff Bay after former boyfriend Steven Johnson kicked in the door.
