Good Morning Britain meteorologist Laura Tobin faced a backlash from viewers after travelling to Kourou, French Guiana ahead of the JUICE mission launch.
Laura excitedly discussed the mission with GMB hosts Richard Madeley and Charlotte Hawkins as she explained: "Everything is on track at the moment to go completely well. You need four things to harbour life. You need enough energy, the right elements, water and a stable environment, and they think they have all of those on Ganymede so it is very exciting."
The meteorologist explained the European Space Agency personally invited GMB as a UK exclusive.
