As presenter of the BBC Newcastle Breakfast Show, Charlie helped beat all previous audience figures for this ARIA-nominated Station of the Year. Her interviews have featured on Panorama and Newsnight, as well as the national press.
Her Geordie lilt has been heard nationally while presenting on BBC Radio 5Live- alongside Nicky Campbell for the flagship Breakfast Show, and when stepping in for interviewers like Adrian Chiles and Stephen Nolan. Charlie is also a well-known personality from her time as newsreader for regional BBC TV, and as an investigative reporter for the multi-award-winning current affairs programme Inside Out.
