Good Morning Britain's Ben Shephard aims 'dig' at Laura Tobin after she 'stormed off'

Ben Shephard made a bit of a dig at Laura Tobin on Good Morning Britain today.

It came just a couple of days after Richard Madeley joked that the show "didn't need" the weather presenter. This resulted in her "storming off" set as she said: "Okay then, see you later!"

On today's show, Ben and co-host Kate Garraway had been discussing the collective noun for a group of weather presenters as Laura joined 29 meteorologist colleagues for a conference. Together, they headed to Austria to discuss the effects of climate change.

Kate said that she had suggested a "cloud" of presenters and Ben had previously suggested "storm". Then Ben aimed a low blow as he said: "Our producers have just suggested a depression of weather presenters."

He smirked into the camera as Kate laughed. Trying to keep the mood light, Charlotte Hawkins suggested a "sunshine" of weather presenters.

Meanwhile, fans have questioned Laura's mode of transportation to Austria. With no mention of how the weather presenter had travelled to the conference, many assumed that she had taken a flight.

Taking to Twitter, Matt said: "To highlight and combat climate change, Laura Tobin will be doing the weather from Austria today." Dario said: "How did climate change Laura get there? #GMB"

Meanwhile, Andy said: "Oh look Laura's teleported herself to Austria. No carbon footprint there then. #GMB."

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub
