Good Morning Britain weather presenter Laura Tobin made fans rewind the programme today, July 21, after swearing live on-air. The unfortunate slip-up happened as the meteorologist delivered today's weather bulletin for the UK.
In front of a map of the country, Laura said: "Here's how it looks first thing this morning, cloudy skies means it's a relatively mild start but it is not a tropical night - welcome news."
Gesturing to the UK's east coast, Laura said: "Little more cloud, particularly for Eastern areas on the sh**e, slight onshore flow through western areas of Scotland, Wales and South West England. We've got some sunny spells around."

The 40-year-old's unfortunate slip of the tongue did not go unnoticed by those watching along, with a number of viewers not believing what they had just heard. Some even posted on social media to check that they had heard correctly.
Darren Weeks said: "Did Laura just say the word "Sh**e". Had to rewind and have another listen."
UK-raine Olly wrote to Laura, with laughing emojis: "well done for holding it together after saying sh**e doing the weather."
"Don't worry, I think you got away with it! Sh**e!" said Ami Whyte.
Gord wrote: "Loved the way yo slipped the word Sh**e into yo weather report this morning, the little smirk tells me yo won a bet.."

"@Lauratobin1 dropping a cheeky wee sh**e in the weather," said J. "done well not to buckle with laughter."
This is not the first time the Good Morning Britain star has got viewers talking this week, after she denied claims that she was 'scaremongering' as the UK braced for its hottest ever day a few days ago. On Monday and Tuesday, Laura issued a 'national emergency' warning ahead of the UK seeing temperatures with highs of 40C.
On Friday, July 15, Laura predicted 'hundreds if not thousands' of fatalities in many parts of the UK due to temperatures being well in excess of 30C. Prior to the heatwave's arrival, Laura and other weather presenters came under fire, with critics claiming that the exceptionally high temperatures were a sign that it was 'just summer'.

Passionate about her cause, Laura hit back at the claims she was scaremongering viewers. She said on Monday's show (July 18): "People are saying 'Oh this is just summer, get out and enjoy it.'
"This is not the weather to get out and try and enjoy it and this isn't summer; summer temperatures are 23, 24 degrees and yes, in other countries they have these temperatures, but the infrastructures are built...you know the engineers built the road and the rail and the houses to keep people cool and not melt. In this country we're just not built for it.
"Anytime we go over 35 degrees, which is exceptionally rare, excess deaths increase massively, so that is why it's a national emergency, that's why I'm in the studio to report on all the details. And honestly, I'm not scaremongering, this is exceptionally serious."
