I found a VERY positive new article about Charlotte Coyle and her upcoming Channel 4 documentary. According to this story, it is "due to be aired next month." At last! Here's the URL:

Charlotte to star in C4 search for 'big' models
By Sarah Brett

Buxom beauties with attitude are fast overtaking stick thin celebrities as the role models of Ulster's young women, with Derry-born stunner Charlotte Coyle at the forefront.
The plus-size model is starring in a pioneering documentary for Channel 4, due to be aired next month, which sees her audition more than 300 women to be the UK's next plus-size supermodel.
Statuesque Charlotte is almost 6ft tall and wears size 18.
Her fresh look has propelled her into the enviable position of being one of the world's most sought after plus-size models.
Celebrity magazines and tabloids are currently full of praise for curvy ladies like Charlotte Church and Colleen McLaughlin, while slamming skinny girls like Victoria Beckham, model Kate Moss and uber-celebrity Paris Hilton.
Plus-size modelling is growing with agency divisions being created to specifically locate and develop potential models to serve the apparel industry.
High fashion designers are also starting to look more closely at the earning potential from this sector of the industry and have started booking plus-size models for their advertising images and showings. Jean-Paul Gaultier and John Galliano both cast plus-size models in their Spring 2006 showings in Paris.
Celebrities who wear plus-size clothing have increasingly been attracting endorsement contracts as advertisers seek to extend size-acceptance into the film, TV and music industries.
One example of this trend is Queen Latifah who appears in on-going advertising for Cover Girl cosmetics.
A recent study showed that using average size models in advertising could protect women from body dissatisfaction - and it would be as effective at selling products as stick thin models, psychologists say.
The study found that women for whom appearance is important become more depressed with their bodies after viewing very skinny girls.
Harry Potter author JK Rowling sensationally attacked skinny models earlier this year.
She said: "Their only function appears to be supporting the trade in overpriced handbags and rat-sized dogs."
