Church reveals 20 vodka a night binging
Party animal Charlotte Church has revealed the full extent of her binge-drinking – downing 10 double vodkas on an average night out.
The 19-year-old singer also necks her favourite “Cheeky Vimto” – a double port mixed with alcopops – before leaving the house.
And if she is drinking in a swanky London club, Charlotte gets stuck in to the free champagne as well.
The former Voice of an Angel is regularly pictured stumbling out of nightclubs. For her 19th birthday recently she embarked on a 72-hour bender.
She described her drinking in an interview with Heat magazine.
Asked what she drinks during an “average night on the lash”, she said: “I can sink ‘em! If I’m home, I’ll start with a Cheeky Vimto – double port and a bottle of WKD Blue in the same glass. It tastes just like Vimto or Ribena. They’re lethal.
“Once I’m out, I’ll have about 10 double vodkas. Then I’m pretty much KO’ed. But if I’m in London, the club owners give me loads of bottles of free champagne. I hate champagne. I still drink it though.”
But despite her admission, she claimed: “I don’t actually like alcohol. If I’m having a meal I’ll have a lemonade. The only time I drink is to get p***ed and dance like a crazy woman.”

“Drinking to get drunk is binge-drinking. Over 10 units and the chances are you are going to be intoxicated.
“Women drinking this much are putting themselves at risk. Beside the short-term risks of accidents or becoming involved in violent incidents, there are long-term risks such as liver cirrhosis.
“There is also an increased risk of breast cancer for women who regularly drink large amounts.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Charlotte spoke about her love for rugby player Gavin Henson.
The singer has just returned from a three-day trip to New Zealand where she watched him on the Lions tour.
She admitted she has told him she loves him – but is waiting for him to say it back.
She says she has already chosen the names for their children. “I really like the name Joshua for a boy, and I’ve always liked Ciel for a girl, which is French for sky,” she said. “I also like Seren, which is star in Welsh. So that’s names for twin girls and a boy!”
Charlotte also revealed she hates going to bed with Gavin – because of his hairdo.
“It’s not so much hard as slimy. I wake up in the morning and my hair’s so f***ing greasy because of all his wax that I have to wash it every day,” she confided.
As for rumours she sent him a topless picture of herself over her mobile phone, Charlotte insisted she had been wearing a bra. The full interview is in this week’s Heat magazine.
