I present on ITV's breakfast show Good Morning Britain, and also on ITV News covering the Evening News and News at Ten. I joined GMB when it launched in 2014, and we're on-air from 6am which means I have the early alarm call of 2.45am!
I am currently filming a new series for ITV which will be going out next year. I've been out and about travelling across the country interviewing people, it's been so exciting to be a part of and there'll be more details coming soon!
I also present on ITV Racing, and love getting to commentate on the royal procession at Royal Ascot as well as covering lifestyle and fashion.
I'm a regular on ITV Tonight, investigating issues from wellness to energy scams and dog attacks. My role as Ambassador for Dogs Trust has led to me hosting a dog training podcast with them called 'Leaps & Hounds'.
I'm passionate about classical music, having presented on Classic FM for many years and have a classical music podcast 'Last, Past & Blast'. My classical music album 'Mindful Moments' was Number 1 in the Classical Compilation Albums Chart for 10 weeks.
I've appeared on many other shows - I was on Strictly back in 2017, you'll see me popping up on Channel Five covering Jeremy Vine or Matt Allwright's shows, I won Celebrity Mastermind in 2026, and I've also appeared on Britain's Got More Talent, The Chase, Pointless, the Weakest Link, Tipping Point.. plus many more.
Before joining ITV I worked at Sky News for seven years, I hosted my own daily show 'Sky News with Charlotte Hawkins' as well as presenting the breakfast show Sunrise with Eamonn Holmes.
I've been involved in presenting many key events, broadcasting live from the King's Coronation, the Queen's Funeral, Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Royal Weddings and live at the Olympics. I've hosted a live BAFTA's show and also presented live from LA on the Oscars red carpet.
I've interviewed countless prominent politicians over the years, and also celebrities such as Sir Elton John, David Beckham, Sir Paul McCartney and Oprah Winfrey. I was lucky enough to have an acting role in the film 'Burnt' with Bradley Cooper (playing a breakfast TV presenter!), and also appeared as as a news presenter on tour with 'breaking news' for both Diversity and The Wanted.
Every year I host cinema broadcasts of Andre Rieu concerts which are shown in hundreds of theatres across Europe, and interview Andre as part of that. I presented an in-depth documentary for Sky Arts called 'Andre Rieu: Behind the Music'. He was my chosen specialised subject when i won Celebrity Mastermind!
It all started for me helping out at hospital radio as well as my local paper. I then studied English Language & Literature at Manchester University, and completed a postgraduate diploma in Broadcast Journalism at the London College of Communication. I worked at ITN Radio for a year, covering the Paddington rail crash during that time. I then joined ITV Meridian as a news trainee, becoming a producer and reporter, then co-presenting the main regional show 'Meridian Tonight' for four years. During that time I also co-hosted the current affairs discussion series The Big Story.
I love travel, and my articles have been published in The Mail on Sunday, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and Conde Nast Traveller Magazine.
I support several charities and am a Patron of Motor Neurone Disease Association after my father died from the disease in January 2015. I am also Patron of Ellenor Hospice, and an Ambassador for Dogs Trust as well as Air Ambulances UK.
My husband Mark & I welcomed a new addition to the family in February 2015, our daughter Ella Rose. We adopted our dog Moose from the Dogs Trust in 2025.
