Charlotte Crosby excited to change surname to Bear

Charlotte Crosby can\'t wait to change her surname to Bear.

The former \'Geordie Shore\' star has only been dating her beau Stephen Bear for four months but she has admitted, although they\'re trying to take things slow, she\'s looking forward to changing her name when they do eventually tie the knot.

She explained to New! magazine: "We\'ve only officially been together four months, so the next stage is very far away. We\'ve been in each other\'s lives for so long but we haven\'t actually been together that long. We always talk about our future together but right now we\'re just enjoying being together and having fun ... I can\'t wait to be Charlotte Bear. I\'m so excited for it. It sounds so cute."

And, although the pair are keen to just enjoy one another\'s company for the time being, the 26-year-old beauty isn\'t worried if she accidentally falls pregnant with Bear\'s baby before they get hitched.

She said: "I don\'t care which is first. You can\'t plan destiny."

The couple\'s relationship was initially criticised by fans, who claimed their romance was purely a publicity stunt, but Charlotte is adamant she can\'t bear to be away from her man for too long.

She said: "It\'s every waking minute. Sometimes I don\'t know if it\'s a good thing but when we leave each other I hate it, so I think it is. We have the odd break, which is nice. Like today for five hours."
