Charlotte Church has asked for her mother's help as she tries to give up drinking.

Maria Church has told doormen at Charlotte's favourite Cardiff pub that the star isn't to be allowed entry in future.

A source told the Daily Star, "Charlotte's whole family is supporting her. She's done really well recently, cutting her drinking down. And they know she can quit completely if they're there for her."

Church believes that alcohol may be responsible for her recent mood swings and voice problems.

"When I'm sober, I'm laid back, but if I have a drink I can't control my temper," Charlotte explained. "So I've cut my drinking down to once a fortnight plus I've given up smoking. And alcohol has started to ruin my voice. Now I want to see if I can go without completely."
