Their TV and broadcasting firm Stayt Limited was £6,409 in the red in accounts filed in December and covering to the end of March 2023.

The couple, who have two children, bought their four-bedroom home in Twickenham, South West London, for £800,000 in 2002, and it is now worth up to £2.3million.

Public school-educated Charlie began his career on radio before moving to TV, where he worked for ITV.

He fronted Five News’s coverage of the 9/11 terror attacks, and also worked for Sky News.

He joined Breakfast in 2006 and has been involved in some memorable moments alongside co-host Naga Munchetty, 49.

n 2020, Naga asked Charlie when he had last seen “a beaver”.

He replied, before dissolving into giggles: “Well, it’s probably been a while, if ever, in fact.”

He was also praised for his probing questioning of sullen pop star Lady Gaga, after she endorsed Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 US election with Donald Trump.

A rep for Charlie was approached for comment yesterday.

The BBC said it does not comment on personal matters.
