Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins has received an outpouring of support after making her debut as a guest host on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine show on Monday, June 29.
The 51-year-old ITV star, who has been a regular face on Good Morning Britain since its launch in 2014, confirmed she would be filling in for Jeremy Vine on her social media last Friday, June 26, following a previous stint guest-hosting Matt Allwright's programme on the same channel.
Fans praise her debut
Sharing a photo of herself in the studio alongside Joanna Jarjue and Mike Parry, Hawkins was flooded with supportive comments. One fan wrote: "You looked amazing. Good job done." Another added: "It went very well, very natural." A third commented: "This works for you, good job."
On X, a viewer shared: "#Jeremyvine Oh Charlotte's swapped the sofa on ITV's Good Morning Britain to the Channel 5 desk and chair #ThisMorning #Gmb." Another said: "Great seeing @CharlotteHawkns on @JeremyVineOn5 this morning #Jeremyvine."
Opening the show
Opening Monday's episode, Hawkins said: "I'm Charlotte Hawkins, sitting in for Jeremy while he enjoys a holiday!" She confirmed she would return to the programme on Tuesday, June 30.
During the episode, Hawkins welcomed back Mike Parry to the panel after his recent treatment for skin cancer. Parry said: "I feel very well, thank you. I can't thank The Royal Marsden Hospital enough for what they did for me last week. It was five consecutive days, a blast of radiation, once a day, a serious blast and then other procedures. But, I feel good at the end of it, I feel mentally very well. I know I was in the hands of some of the best people in the world."
Cancer warning
Parry also issued a warning to viewers about sun safety, saying: "Can I say to everybody, please, please, take the greatest precaution against that big yellow ball in the sky, the sun. It will get you; you have a chance to stop it."
The Jeremy Vine show airs every weekday on Channel 5 from 9:15am.
