Charlotte Hawkins was always interested in communications and how to get a message across. Studying English Literature at the University of Manchester, followed by a Postgraduate in Broadcast Journalism from the London College of Printing.

Charlotte Hawkins | Early Career

Charlotte’s early foray into the media was at LBC Radio. It was here she was confronted with the terrible news she may have to present when she was one of the first journalists to report on the Paddington rail crash. In 2000 she moved to ITV Meridian, where she co-presented the current affairs show The Big Story, presented Britain on the Move, and The London Boat Show (2007).

She would go on to present Sunrise on Sky News from 2007 to 2014, with some time spent working for Five News in the absence of other presenters. During this time, we covered events, including the Olympics, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and various royal weddings. And her list of interviewees was no less impressive, with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Sir Elton John, Johnny Depp, Sir Paul McCartney, David Beckham, Renee Zellweger, and Matt Damon all getting the Charlotte Hawkins treatment.

She returned to ITV in 2014 as a presenter on Good Morning Britain (2014-), where she has worked as a regular broadcaster and stand-in during absences. As well as the hard-hitting news stories reported on GBM, Charlotte is the fashion reporter for ITV Racing, appearing at events like the Cheltenham Races, the York Races, and Ascot.

She has co-presented the news show with Adil Ray, Piers Morgan, Richard Madeley, and Ben Shephard as well as fellow Great British Speakers Ed Balls and Susanna Reid.
