Although Charlie has been a public figure for many years, having begun his TV career back in 1995, he likes to keep his personal life out of the spotlight. Here's all we know about his wife and family…

The pair tied the knot back in 1995 before going on to welcome two children together, Phoebe Senara, who was born in 1997, and Jake Hamilton, who arrived in 2000. According to reports, the family reside in west London.

Charlie is very private about his personal life

Charlie is incredibly private about his family life and does not have a social media presence. 

The 60-year-old first joined Breakfast as a relief presenter before quickly being promoted to Friday to Sunday host.

In 2008, he became the weekend presenter, hosting alongside various presenters, including Naga. 

When Dan Walker left the programme last year, he stepped in as the main weekday host until Jon Kay was announced as Dan's replacement

Speaking about how he copes with the early starts, Charlie previously told RadioTimes.com: "I refuse to snooze. As soon as the alarm goes off, I am up. The other thing is, I embrace the siesta. It’s become a big thing for me. I sort of sit down in the afternoon and consciously do nothing. No snooze and have a siesta, that’s the formula."
