Charlotte Hawkins welcomes her George Ezra superfan daughter to GMB studio to meet singer

Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins welcomed her own daughter into the ITV studio on Monday morning to meet George Ezra.

The Green Green Grass singer appeared on the early morning programme to discuss his news walking documentary with Charlotte and co-host Sean Fletcher.

Later in the conversation, Charlotte said she had to “interrupt proceedings” to introduce a “far superior interviewer” who was waiting in the wings.

She said: “It’s actually my daughter Ella Rose. She is a George Ezra superfan and Ella Rose begged me to come in today.

Charlotte’s lookalike seven-year-old daughter then appeared in the ITV studio and sat alongside the chart-topper with a list of questions she had to ask.

Charlotte said: “Ella Rose, shall I leave it to you? What would you like to say?”

One of the questions Ella Rose asked the singer was: “How do you think of what to write in your songs? They’re very interesting and different and I want to know how you come up with them?”

George replied by first thanking his young superfan, adding: “I don’t know. I have fun doing it. I enjoy writing them and it's fun to see what words go together and writing stories.

“The good thing is that no one has to hear them necessarily, so just write and if you feel like you want to share it, then show someone.”

Earlier in the programme, the singer-songwriter discussed walking up to 30 miles a day on the route from Land's End to John o' Groats, as part of a new documentary called End to End.

The Hertfordshire-born performer took on the ambitious challenge with two film-making friends who documented the journey.

Ezra can be seen battling wind, rain and midges as he contemplates the impact of the Covid pandemic on musicians across the country.

The film follows a journey the singer made in 2021 where he walked an exhausting 1,200 miles over 95 days.

"All of us go at 100mph and often you have your blinkers on and your head is down and there was this opportunity and we were so fortunate to be able to do it," Ezra told ITV.

"Just time with friends to think and to talk I'm sure it slowed us down," he added.

George Ezra released his third album Gold Rush Kid this year and like the previous two albums he wanted the record to be tied to a specific journey.

"When lockdown started that was a time when I was meant to be writing and recording, so by the time it came to do the walk I had finished the album," Ezra explained.

"So I thought, how do you make sense of this? So we went and visited other musicians on the route. It was the most incredible experience.

"We would walk up to 30 miles a day and you could go two days without seeing anyone," he added.
