GMB's Laura Tobin awkwardly silences co-star as he chats through her weather report

Laura Tobin silenced her Good Morning Britain co-star as he chatted through her weather report.

The weather presenter stopped her segment mid-way through today, as her colleague Richard Bacon - who was presenting today alongside Kate Garraway - could be heard shouting in the background as Laura shared an update on the weather.

As she gave her weather report, she said: "Good morning, we saw Andi [Peters] bundled up there, it is a chilly old start to this morning thanks to clear skies and light winds. The outlook isn't really changing very much, low pressure brings wet and windy weather. High pressure brings settled conditions and that influences -"

She then stopped herself as shouting could be heard in the studio, fuming as she told her co-star: "Richard! Richard! Shhh! Thank you, I'm in the middle of the weather. How rude!"

The camera then switched over to him with his hands over his mouth as he apologised to Laura and viewers, as Laura told him: "You've spent all that time trying to figure out how to do it. Keep trying harder!"

He muttered an apology, before Laura continued: "There's lots of weather to hear about. So, the winds - now it's quiet - easterly, it brings cool conditions through eastern coasts as we head through the next few days."

Laura has always been into the weather and in her new book, Every Day Ways To Save The Planet, Laura detailed her journey to becoming a weather whizz, explaining she had called the Met Office when she was just 14-years-old.

"I’ve been forecasting the weather for over 17 years now, but my love for the subject started much earlier in life – during a particularly memorable geography lesson when I was just 14," she penned.

"My teacher, Mr Hannant, asked all the boys to stand in one straight line and all the girls to stand in another straight line next to the boys, as though we were about to start two conga lines. Then he told us to run across the classroom as quickly as we could. We had to push against each other until we got to the other side. When we made it, our lines weren't straight anymore - they were wiggly. And that, he said, was how weather was created. What he had done was create a jet stream in our classroom."

Explaining how that got her interested in the weather, she added: "From that moment on, I was hooked," Laura gushed in the pages of her new book. At 14, I called up the Met Office to see what exam results I would need. And the rest, they say, is history."
