Charlotte Hawkins is the first GMB stars to be affected by ITV’s job cuts
She made her News at Ten debut last week and will be on the news rota as part of the daytime merger with ITN.

A source said: “Charlotte will read the news across the schedule.

“She’ll still read on GMB but also the lunchtime, evening and News at Ten.

“It’s a major change because she was solely contracted for GMB.”

Charlotte worked at Sky before joining GMB in 2014 and was one of the show’s main newsreaders, but since 2022 she usually only reads the news two days a week.

Her job change comes amid a shake-up of ITV’s daytime division affecting Susanna Reid’s breakfast show as well as This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine as the teams at GMB and ITV News merge.

More than 220 roles have been slashed in the cost-cutting drive.

ITV declined to comment.
