GMB’s Charlotte Hawkins ‘burst into tears’ behind | UK News

Charlotte Hawkins has opened up about the time she burst into tears while working on the favored ITV morning show Good Morning Britain. The morning broadcaster admitted in a joint interview with Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway with Woman & Home that she once cried at work after being voted out of Strictly Come Dancing. Back in 2017, the 50-year-old presenter was the third movie star to be eradicated from the star-studded collection alongside her skilled dance associate, Brendan Cole.

Unfortunately, the mum-of-one was unable to conceal her disappointment when she returned to work and lined the collection. Kate told the outlet: “I remember coming into work and asking how Charlotte was, and she said fine.

“Then I went to make some tea, came back, and she just burst into tears. We totally knew what she was going through.” Charlotte added: “It’s all coming back now… It was incredibly hard when I got voted out.”

Charlotte’s colleagues had been all too acquainted with the frustration after Kate appeared in the fifth collection of the BBC show alongside Anton du Beke and completed in seventh place.

Susanna, meanwhile, had better success. The mum-of-two reached the ultimate with her associate Kevin Clifton in 2013, dropping out on the glitterball to Abby Clancy and Aljaz Skorjanec.

It comes after Charlotte opened up about the passing of her late dad, Frank, who handed away in 2015 at the age of 78 after a three-year battle with motor neurone disease.

Following his death, Charlotte turned a patron of the MND Association and has vowed to keep preventing for victims until scientists uncover a remedy. She told the press at the time: “When people get that diagnosis, it’s a death sentence.

“It’s horrific that in this day and age, there aren’t treatments that can help people. I speak to the experts, and they are making progress. It will hopefully just take a final push to bring everything together, to find a cure, which will give people who have MND something which they don’t currently have – hope.”

Charlotte needs to continue the legacy of rugby participant Doddie Weir, who died in 2022, and Rob Burrow, who died in June. She added: “They really helped with people’s understanding.

“I was at Rob’s memorial and the speaker said, ‘It’s over to you now, to pick up that baton, to make sure that his work is not forgotten’.” Rob helped raise thousands and thousands to construct his eponymous centre for MND, which is set to open in Leeds next summer season.
