Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins has been praised by viewers after she filled in for Jeremy Vine on his Channel 5 programme.

Charlotte's Announcement and Mike Parry's Health Update
Beginning the broadcast on Monday, Charlotte remarked: "I'm Charlotte Hawkins, sitting in for Jeremy while he enjoys a holiday!" She confirmed she would return to the show on Tuesday (June 30). During Monday's instalment, she welcomed back Mike Parry to the discussion after his recent medical treatment for skin cancer. When questioned about his wellbeing, he responded: "I feel very well, thank you. I can't thank The Royal Marsden Hospital enough for what they did for me last week."
He added: "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." Mike also issued a cautionary message to viewers, emphasising the significance of protecting oneself from the sun following his diagnosis: "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.
