Good Morning Britain star Charlotte Hawkins thinks daughter will become a journalist
Charlotte Hawkins' daughter, Ella Rose, has caught the journalistic bug since going behind-the-scenes at Good Morning Britain, and interviewing singer George Ezra on the ITV morning news show in August 2022.
Charlotte Hawkins thinks her mini-me daughter will become a journalist.
Ella Rose, 10, gets excited when she hears about Charlotte's job as an anchor on ITV's Good Morning Britain, and the youngster relishes the chance of stepping into the news programme's buzzing studio at Television Centre, West London, to see what happens up close.
Charlotte, 50, told the new issue of the Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine: "She just loves it if she gets the opportunity to pop into the newsroom."
In August 2022, Ella Rose melted Good Morning Britain viewers' hearts as she got to interview 32-year-old singer George Ezra - whom she is a superfan of - on the show.
And a proud Charlotte said her bundle of joy - whom she has with her 52-year-old husband Mark Herbert - was “a far superior interviewer”.
Remembering that moment, the newsreader said: "She just took it all in her stride. She did a brilliant interview and got way more out of him than we did anyway!"
Since then, Ella Rose has wanted to interview more stars - even asking Charlotte when "they'll get Taylor Swift on the show".
And Charlotte encourages Ella Rose to follow her dreams.
She said: "I always say to my daughter, 'Never give up on your dreams.' Because even if you go down a different path, you never know where you'll end up."
Charlotte has presented Good Morning Britain since 2014, and she still adores her job - despite the early 2.45am alarm each morning.
She said: "I love being a part of GMB. It really does feel like a family, which is special.
"It's such a privilege to wake people up in the morning and get to tell them what's going on in the world first."
Speaking about getting up at 2.45am, Charlotte added: "That's a tough start to the day, but you all sort of bond together as members of the Early Risers' Club, because everybody feels your pain."
