Dawson’s chic: Charlotte Dawson is pursuing a career in modelling but has also taken some acting roles<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
When a girl boasts of looking like Les Dawson, modelling would not seem the most likely career option.<\/p>\n
But that is how things have turned out for the late comedian\u2019s daughter Charlotte.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old, whose father died of a heart attack when she was just eight months old, has signed with renowned London-based agency IMM.<\/p>\n
Last night Miss Dawson told the Daily Mail: \u2018I love all types of modelling \u2013 but lingerie is obviously my favourite.<\/p>\n
‘It\u2019s nice
\nbecause these days you have all the horrible Size Zero models and then
\nyou have the curvy girls doing lingerie.\u2019<\/p>\n
The teenager, who left school at 16, lives at home with her mother, Dawson\u2019s second wife Tracy, in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. <\/p>\n
After the Blankety Blank host\u2019s death in 1993, Mrs Dawson put a life size cut-out of him in Charlotte\u2019s nursery, played his TV shows to her, and persuaded her to lift her spoon heavenwards before she ate to give her father a taste.<\/p>\n
Miss Dawson says she \u2018definitely\u2019 shares a sense of humour with her father \u2013 who became one of Britain\u2019s most loved comedians in the Seventies with his mother-in-law jokes and portrayal of a disapproving northern housewife \u2013 and can even mimic his famous gurn, adding: \u2018I can do all his faces and I look a lot like him really.\u2019<\/p>\n
Despite her tender age, Miss Dawson said her mother is completely supportive of her chosen career.<\/p>\n
The teenager still lives at home with Mrs Dawson, 59, in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.<\/p>\n
\u2018Yes, she guides me through everything. She looks after me and she\u2019s happy whatever I want to do,’ she said.<\/p>\n
Miss Dawson is due to star in a low-budget British film and has also had a stint in pantomime.<\/p>\n
She is currently dating Alex Stewart, 24, who is in the army. He has been very supportive of her career and is prepared to move to London for her burgeoning career.<\/p>\n
However, she admitted she has found it difficult growing up without her father.<\/p>\n
A house party to celebrate her GCSEs was wrecked by gatecrashers, causing police to be called to her family\u2019s \u00a32.5million mansion.<\/p>\n
At one point, she even labelled herself as a \u2018good girl gone bad,\u2019 on a social networking site.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have found it really hard because I think I would probably be a daddy\u2019s girl,\u2019 she admitted.<\/p>\n
\u2018But my mum has tried her best to be my mum and my dad at the same time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Frumpy: Les Dawson playing one of his typical characters\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u2018She\u2019s not remarried and she\u2019s got no boyfriend. So it\u2019s always the two of us. Tracy is my best friend. We do have a bit of a row but we do get on really well and I\u2019m happy to have a mum like she is.\u2019<\/p>\n
Dawson was in his mid-50s and grieving for his first wife Meg – who died of cancer in 1986 – when he fell in love with Tracy.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Despite an age difference of 17 years, they married in 1989 and proved to be inseparable.<\/p>\n
The comedian was delighted when his new wife discovered she was pregnant and always regarded his little daughter as an unexpected gift, having had three children with his first wife.<\/p>\n
He cut the cord at his baby\u2019s birth in October 1992, called her Lottie and was thrilled when her first word was \u2018Dada\u2019.<\/p>\n
