Charlotte is an experienced presenter, actress, writer and journalist - probably best known for co-hosting Brainiac on Sky One and BBC1’s Watchdog with Anne Robinson.

Charlotte was born and brought up in Sheffield. A bit of a swot, she ended up at Cambridge University studying languages, where she graduated with an MA in French and Spanish. Studying took second fiddle to drama and comedy acting, and spare college time was spent performing (Cambridge Footlights, etc.). After graduating, Charlotte cut her televisual teeth as a researcher on Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast and Eurotrash, before starting her on-screen TV career reporting and producing on five’s flagship current affairs series What’s the Story? She went on to host Are you Being Cheated? also for five, and decided that was enough shows ending in a question mark for the time being.

Turning her attentions to acting, credits include the BBC comedy shows, Bruiser (starring alongside Mitchell and Webb, Matt Holness and Martin Freeman) Haywire, My Hero, Broken News and Absolute Power. Drama roles include parts in Silent Witness and Golden Hour.
Theatrically, Charlotte has taken a sell-out comedy double act to the Edinburgh Festival as well as touring both Europe and the USA in Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Twelfth Night.

In addition to presenting Brainiac: Science Abuse, Charlotte hosted its spin-off series History Abuse (also for Sky One). She's regularly asked to voice her opinions on shows such as Big Brother's Little Brother and Big Mouth. She loves panel games and quiz shows, but despite hosting her own knowledge show (Topranko! with Manchester music legend Anthony Wilson for five) she tends to fair badly: shewas – to her mother’s shame - the third person to be voted off Celebrity Weakest Link in its very first show.

Whilst eschewing the usual ignominy of reality-TV contestant-hood, if it involves leaping around, she has been known to say yes, including learning to hang-glide for the BBC and risking life and limb in the skyscrapers of Buenos Aires for Celebrity Fear Factor on Sky One.

Charlotte was nominated for the TRIC Best TV Newcomer award and has the illustrious honour of being voted Maxim's 396th best-looking woman in the world (coming in just behind Dame Edna Everage).
