Charlotte Church almost suffered a wardrobe malfunction while making a rare public appearance with son Dexter Henson at the BAFTA Cymru Awards on Sunday evening.
The buxom Welsh singer, 39, on hand to present the Television Drama Award, revealed her very ample cleavage in a plunging red gown as she arrived at the International Convention Centre in Newport.
And she came close to spilling out of her striking outfit while making her way inside with Dexter, her 16-year old son with former Welsh rugby player Gavin Henson.
Meanwhile, the teenager looked appropriately dapper in a black suit as he followed his famous mother across the red carpet.
Charlotte recently admitted she is trying to find peace’ after growing up as a child star, and revealed that opening a wellbeing centre helped her to ‘reclaim her creativity’.
The singer turned activist has created a new life for herself in recent years, working as a sound healer on the retreat she owns in rural Wales.

Speaking to violinist and author Izzy Judd on BBC Radio 3 Unwind’s The Music & Meditation Podcast, Charlotte talked about her journey and how she was ‘commoditised as a child’.
She explained: ‘In my own personal journey, I found that it has been a journey of me believing in my own creativity.
‘I think that when you get commoditised as such a young person, you know, my own creativity and artistry wasn’t really centred at all and so it was actually through setting up other things like The Dreaming [Charlotte’s own retreat centre] that I really started to reclaim my own creativity.’
‘But it wasn’t through music, because I had such a lot of baggage around my voice, my creativity, my songwriting, my musicianship, all of that stuff, but yes through creating other things and birthing through other things into the world it made me go ‘Ah I’m really good at this. And I really enjoy it!’
‘And then that in turn fed back into the music and voice, and then I’m able to have now, so much more freedom of expression which I’m deeply grateful for.’
The activist went on to talk about why trying to find peace has been so important in her life.
She said: ‘I think that more and more people are starting to understand that, you know, particularly with the internet and social media and essentially having our attention gained, and our brains sort of gained and commodified, and pumped for dopamine, and addictive pathways essentially.
‘So we have got things moving against our seek for peace – if indeed anyone still remembers how that feels!’

Charlotte is one of the many familiar A-listers to have joined the hotly-anticipated Celebrity Traitors’ line-up, alongside the likes of fellow sleuths Alan Carr, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Paloma Faith, and Tom Daley.
Earlier in April, the big names taking part in the highly-anticipated star-studded version of the murder mystery game were revealed.
With other names transforming into faithfuls and Traitors including Ruth Codd, Celia Imrie, Tameka Empson and Mark Bonnar.
With comedians Nick Mohammed, Joe Wilkinson and Lucy Beaumont, joining singer Cat Burns, presenters Clare Balding and Kate Garraway, rugby player Joe Marler and YouTuber Niko Omilana.
Missing from the confirmed line-up was actress and comedian Jennifer Saunders, who was heavily rumoured to be taking part.
Comedian Lucy became the last star to sign up for the show following her shock split from fellow comedian Jon Richardson.
But in a joint statement in April, they said: ‘After 9 years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated. We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways.’
Jon handed over £1.625million to Lucy when they called time on their marriage.
Speaking about the split, she told OK! Magazine: ‘People might think I should talk about it because we were so public and everyone knew us as a couple, but I won’t, and not because there’s any animosity.
‘We both agreed that while it might be weird for other people not hearing anything about it, we wouldn’t talk about anything to do with the marriage or each other.’
As excitement increases for the Celebrity Traitors, BBC bosses took extra precautions to keep the cast under wraps ahead of its reveal, following a series of leaks.
