From hosting Loose Women and covering King Charles III's coronation for ITV News to taking on jungle life in last year's I'm a Celebrity, Charlene White has become a regular face on our screens over the past few years. But how well do you really know her? Here, the mum-of-two, 43, tells Woman's Own all about life behind the scenes with the Loose Women, juggling home and work life and why she's not ready to take on another reality show just yet...
Hi Charlene, how are you?
I'm OK, just very busy! Every weekend is busy and during the course of a normal day on Loose Women we're all running around like headless chickens getting stuff ready for the show.
Speaking of Loose Women, what's your favourite thing about being on the show?
Because there's such a range of women that work on it, a range of ages, different backgrounds, we've all done different work, I learn something new every day. It's really nice to hang around women who have done more than you and learn how they navigated things.
Is it tricky working with so many different characters?
