Soap star-turned-ITV announcer Charles Foster has sadly died. The actor and TV presenter rose to fame on North West’s Granada TV channel in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
The multi-talented star also landed acting roles in Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and ITV drama Crown Court.
In recent years, Charles provided the voice over on ITV’s Judge Rinder show.
He has also lent his voice to Catchphrase and The Krypton Factor.
Tributes have been flooding in for Charles since the news of his death was confirmed.
Granada Reports’ producer Rob Jaskowski said: “Charles was such a nice person.
“I remember being star stuck on my first day at Granada on work placement in 1984 when I sat with him in the canteen at Quay Street.
“He was great to chat with and a true inspiration.
“Condolences to his family and friends.”
BBC presenter Steve Saul also added: “Sorry to hear the reports of the death of former Granada TV continuity announcer and voiceover Charles Foster.
“Along with Colin Weston and Jim Pope they were the friendly face of ITV when I was growing up.
“I would have loved to have been an in-vision continuity announcer.”
Charles will also be known to soap fans as Judge Connolly, whom he portrayed in the ITV show in 2008.
