GMB's Charlotte Hawkins explains how her dad's death changed Christmas for her


Charlotte Hawkins has opened up on the heartbreaking reason why Christmas became so important to her after the death of her dad following three-year battle with motor neurone disease

This Christmas will hold a poignant significance for Charlotte Hawkins of Good Morning Britain as she remembers her beloved father, Frank, who passed away in 2015 at age 78 after bravely fighting motor neurone disease for three years. Her ambition is to carry on the inspirational legacy left by rugby legends Doddie Weir, who sadly passed in 2022, and Rob Burrow, who died in June, both of whom significantly raised awareness about MND. Living in Surrey with her husband Mark Herbert and nine-year-old daughter Ella Rose, Charlotte shared that Christmas at their home is filled with traditional games and songs.
