Charlotte Church was back to her Crazy Chick past on Wednesday night as she partied into the night at the Attitude Awards in Camden.
The former popstar, 38, made a bleary-eyed and barefoot exit from The Roundhouse after presenting the TV Award, taking a night off from running her Welsh wellness retreat, where alcohol is strictly banned.
After walking the red carpet in a glitzy dress and heels earlier in the evening, Charlotte kicked off her gold platforms to head to her taxi.
Leaving her friend to carry her bright pink coat, Charlotte, clutching her M&S goodie bag, was in great spirits as she laughed her way into the backseat.
Her night on the town harks back to her noughties heydey when she was at the peak of her fame thanks to her pop career and her wild off-stage antics.

In 2019 Charlotte revealed she had cut back on drinking because she couldn’t deal with the ‘hangxiety, shame and guilt’ that comes after boozy nights out.
The classical singer- who famously used to down ‘cheeky Vimtos’, made of a double port and blue WKD alcopop, before leaving the house for a night out – declared she felt ‘fabulously b****y brilliant’ but explained she had no intention to be completely teetotal.
In recent years the former childstar has turned her back on fame, transforming herself into an activist and sound healer at the wellness retreat she owns in rural Wales.
Over the past three years Charlotte has converted a £1.5 million mansion once owned by Laura Ashley into a green retreat boasting eight different rooms and able to accommodate up to 16 people at once.
The former Voice of an Angel singer bought Rhydoldog House with her husband Jonathan Powell, whom she shares a four-year-old daughter with, in 2021 and turned it into a retreat for paying guests to ‘reconnect with themselves and the natural world’.
The home, which she has renamed The Dreaming, is just outside the rural market town of Rhayader.
Charlotte finally opened her green retreat last year after overcoming building problems and winning a series of planning battles to transform the property.
The seven-bedroom mansion has three storeys, a helicopter landing and a 200-year-old barn on its 47 acres.

By 2007 the singer has sold more than ten million records worldwide, whilst her relationship with rugby ace Gavin Henson earned them the nicknames of the Welsh Posh and Becks
It is a wellness retreat with cycling, archery, foraging, hiking and strength and conditioning lessons available – with a hot tub, plunge pool and outdoor cinema.
One of the eight guest rooms is named ‘The Womb’ and is described as a ‘celebration of womanhood’ that is designed to make you feel ‘swaddled’ and contains a pink shower made of tadelakt (a natural, lime-based plaster indigenous to Marrakech) that Charlotte likens to ‘a very large and unusual-shaped vagina’.
The retreat also contains a Healing Room where guests can partake in movement, yoga, sound healing, and group work, as well as many gardens, a Potting Shed, Japanese Tea House and a Waterfall Shower.
The minimum stay is for three nights, and the most expensive room on site, The Forest Spirits, goes for £900 per person.
Food and drink is included, though alcohol is strictly banned, with meals being communal and mostly vegetarian and vegan, while guests are encouraged to help plant and harvest vegetables and cook alongside the chefs.
The property’s makeover into a green retreat was turned into a documentary series on the Discovery Channel.

Speaking last year Charlotte explained she has been an activist for years and wanted to channel her ‘values’ into her work projects.
She said: ‘I really care about the future and the future of the planet, you know, I really think that we can turn things around and so I wanted to be involved in projects and I wanted to start projects, which was living my values really, and living my activism.
‘We’ve got a water source heat pump and we’ve got the hydro mill, and we’re gonna have a huge food growing project.
‘So this year we’ll have about an acre, an acre and a half of land in which to grow food, and then, In the next two or three years, that’s gonna grow to like three or four acres.’
Alongside her life at The Dreaming, Charlotte has also launched her first podcast, Kicking Back with the Cardiffians on BBC Sounds, with new episodes available weekly. On the podcast she discusses her Welsh heritage, family bonds, her working class identity and growing up in Cardiff.
