Charlotte Hawkins made an unscheduled appearance on Wednesday's Good Morning Britain after she stepped in for Susanna Reid at the last minute. Starting the show, Charlotte, 48, explained: "Good morning to you, this is a bit of an unscheduled appearance for me this morning!" To which her co-host Ed Balls added: "I was about to say, you know, I came into the studio as usual about 4:30am.

"Of course, I don't drink, I don't smoke, so there's no reason I can understand why I've completely lost my voice." Charlotte added that Susanna had been the first of the GMB presenters to head home from the awards, while she herself "didn't leave as early as I should have done." It comes after fellow ITV morning show This Morning, lost out on the Best Daytime Show award, for the first time in 13 years, with BBC TV's The Repair Shop winning instead.
The shock over This Morning comes after a turbulent time for the popular ITV show and its star presenter Holly Willoughby and former co-presenter Phillip
