Charlotte Maria Church (born February 21, 1986) is a soprano from Cardiff. She introduced her aunt on ITV's Big Big Talent Show in 1998, was asked to sing and was heard by Jonathan Shalit, who then helped her to secure a record contract with Sony Classical at age 12.
Charlotte is as much a celebrity as a singer and her looks and popular repertoire have made her a great commercial success. Recently she has moved from her classical repertoire to more contemporary music.
In the past couple of years, she has provoked some controversy (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/1682860.stm) with remarks on the September 11, 2001 attacks and saying that agents are turning her down because of her weight. There was more controversy when she was awarded the Rear of the year title in 2002 at the age of 16.
In March 2005, a topless photograph of Charlotte was stolen from the mobile phone of her boyfriend Gavin Henson, a Welsh rugby player, when he lost his phone on a night out in Cardiff.
In June 2005 Charlotte topped the list of Attitude Magazines top 20 new gay icons.
