As ITV gears up for major overhauls, one Good Morning Britain star may find their position significantly altered.
Charlotte Hawkins, 50, has been a mainstay of the breakfast show for over a decade, but reports suggest a considerable shake-up lies ahead for her.
The presenter is set to take on fresh responsibilities across ITV’s programming schedule, after making her News at Ten debut last week.
This appears to signal the start of multiple appearances as part of the daytime merger with ITN.
According to an insider, Charlotte will now front news bulletins right across the network’s output, reports the Express.

This means her contract will be restructured from what viewers have grown familiar with over the past ten years.
A source revealed to The Sun: “Charlotte will read the news across the schedule.
“She’ll still read on GMB but also the lunchtime, evening and News at Ten.
“It’s a major change because she was solely contracted for GMB.”
Devon Live has approached ITV for comment.

These developments come as ITV’s daytime flagship shows are anticipated to face extensive reorganisation in the months ahead.
Alongside GMB facing examination, Loose Women and Lorraine are set to encounter reductions as part of fresh budget-cutting initiatives.
From 2026, Lorraine Kelly’s morning programme will be trimmed to a 30-minute slot. It will air from 9.30am to 10am rather than its current hour-long format.
Beyond the shortened running time, the programme will also only broadcast for 30 weeks each year.
The changes are set to impact the stand-in hosts who usually fill in for the Scottish presenter during her time off, like Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard, potentially leading to job losses.

Lorraine recently expressed her love for her TV career and reassured fans that she’s “not done yet”, despite budget cuts.
On Tom Kerridge’s Proper Tasty podcast, she shared: “I’ve been around for so long. I’ve been doing telly for over 40 years. It’s mad isn’t it?
“It’s absolutely crazy. I started in breakfast telly in 1984, and I’m still getting away with it. Extraordinarily. 40 years in TV last year was incredible. I got a BAFTA. ‘Here’s a BAFTA for being alive.’ I thought, ‘Hang on a minute, I’m not done yet.'”
Loose Women is also facing significant changes.
Like Lorraine, the lunchtime chat show will soon only air “on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year”, according to ITV executives.

This shift will see the programme lose some of its key features, including its live studio audience.
It’s believed the revamp will also result in a reduced panel of presenters.
Despite these changes to popular shows, executives are hopeful that new episodes of The Chase, the channel’s top-rated quiz show, will help.
The show is set to be filmed over four months later this year, with production company Potato currently recruiting staff to work on the series from September to December.
Meanwhile, fans of Tipping Point can breathe a sigh of relief amidst speculation that the show might be axed.
The lack of new episodes last year led to concerns among viewers about the future of the programme. However, despite these changes, several past favourites are poised to return to the limelight on the channel.
It has been confirmed that fresh episodes of The Chase, Tipping Point and Deal or No Deal will be recorded later this year, ensuring their airtime for 2026.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
