Charlie Stayt is a British journalist and television news presenter.
He joined ITN in 1995 as a reporter for Five News, presenting the network's prime-time bulletins and half hour live debate programmes.
He's now a regular face of BBC Breakfast, sitting in when the show's regular hosts Dermot Murnaghan and Bill Turnbull are away. He also presents on BBC News 24.
Charlie's extensive career has seen him anchor Five News's 9/11 coverage, and he spent a total of ten years at ITN, both as correspondent and presenter.
He's presented numerous current affairs programmes, and also hosted live 'reality' TV shows 'Jailbreak', and 'Are You Telepathic'.
Before moving into television Charlie worked in radio, hosting Capital Radio's award winning news programme 'The Way It Is', also reporting for LBC and BBC Radio Five Live.
Charlie started his career in commercial radio in his home town of Gloucester, although he now lives in West London, and has two children.
He says he was a "late starter as a journalist", but that his years spent working as a roofer, a roadie and a barman were not entirely wasted.
