Loose Women host Charlene White turns 41 years old on June 22.
She was born to Jamaican parents in 1980 and went on to become the youngest senior journalist at the BBC at the age of just 22.
Charlene joined BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra and interviewed the likes of rapper Kanye West, former Prime Minister Tony Blair and music royalty Beyoncé.
In 2008, she joined ITN as a newsreader and became the first black woman to present ITV News at Ten in 2014.
She officially joined the Loose Women family in January this year after wowing fans as a guest presenter during her appearance on the ITV daytime show in 2020.

The star has worked on ITV Lunchtime, Evening and Weekend News and she also contributes to the Guardian too.
Charlene was listed in the Top 100 of the most influential people in the UK of African/African-Caribbean descent in the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Powerlist.
She is in a long-term relationship with her partner Andy, who she is extremely private about.
Andy is an executive TV producer, according to the Telegraph.
The pair reportedly got to know each other quickly after meeting at a party in 2015, but it’s unclear whether or not they’re married.
Charlene and Andy went on to welcome a son named Alfie in August 2017 and later welcomed a daughter, named Florence in October 2019.
The family live together in South London.

Charlene has shared several glimpses of her family home on social media over the years from her stunning open-plan kitchen to her beautiful garden.
She shared a short video from her kitchen as part of Britain’s Got Talking mental health campaign recently.
The background of the clip revealed white cupboards with black fabric draws, a White Island and vaulted ceilings with gorgeous skylights.
Her kitchen is designed with black bi-fold doors that open out onto a spacious patio area, which features a grey table and chairs set with a circular glass-topped table.

Charlene’s garden also has a stainless steel barbeque, perfect for the family to take part in some Al fresco dining in the British sunshine.
She clearly looks after her garden and her two children also have their own sunflowers they care for during the summer.
Charlene’s discussed her children’s sweet relationship in an Instagram post before, saying: “They love playing together, and Alfie loves being in charge and telling her off. And Florence mostly just kills herself laughing every time he has a tantrum.”

The living room features wood flooring and white walls with a comfy grey velvet sofa.
There is also a second velvet sofa in a teal blue shade in another section of the lounge.
Charlene revealed a sneak peek inside her eldest child Alfie’s bedroom after they created an autumn hanging feature for his window using leaves from the garden.
