Charlotte Green (born 1958) is a British radio announcer and news reader for the BBC's Radio 4. The main programmes that she is involved in are the Today programme, PM and the Shipping Forecast. She regularly reads the amusing newspaper cuttings on The News Quiz, and her voice is regularly imitated by Jan Ravens on the radio version of the BBC comedy sketch show Dead Ringers, enunciating phrases, laced with doubles entendres, that one wouldn't expect of the real Charlotte, often in the style of the Shipping Forecast.
She attended the University of Kent, gaining a first-class degree in English, before joining the BBC.
She was voted the "Most Attractive Female Voice on National Radio" in a poll conducted by the BBC's Radio Times publication [1], and is a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. From 29 October 2005, she joined Chris Evans' Saturday afternoon show on Radio 2 to read out the phone numbers and general announcements, purely for the contentment of the male listenership of his show.
