ACTRESS Kate Winslet has resigned as patron of The Family Haven.
The 'disappointing' blow comes as the Gloucester-based charity celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Manager Lorraine Barrett said they had received an email from her saying she could no longer work with them.
Lorraine said: "It said she was taking on more work with a charity she was setting up and had to reduce the amount of charities she supported."
The news emerged yesterday as the actress confirmed she was expecting her third child with husband Ned Rocknroll.
The Titanic star agreed to be patron a few years ago after she bought a house in Church Westcote, near Cirencester.
