The broadcaster, who married Chris Coleman in 2015, tweeted after it was announced her husband was leaving Sunderland AFC and Ellis Short has sold the club to a consortium.

The sale is subjected to Football League approval.

Charlotte's message was posted just minutes after the news was confirmed in two statements from the club.

Tweeting via @seecharlottej, her short note: "Gutted to be leaving #Sunderland" has prompted an outpouring of support from fans and followers.

Charlotte is best known for her work as a Sky Sports presenter.

Among those to post messages after seeing her tweet is Julie Arkle, who said: "Thank you Chris and good luck with your future."

June Humphries said: "Good luck for the future" while Olwyn Willoughby added: "I’m gutted for you too."

Coleman's eldest son Sonny, who tweets via @SonnyJPColeman and is a FA registered intermediary, said: "Good luck next season, amazing fans who deserve to be back at the top.

"Gutted but wish Sunderland the best."
