Richard Madeley shocked his co-star when he told her that 'we don't need you anymore' live on air. The presenter was back at the helm of Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (May 25) alongside Susanna Reid.
They were also joined in the studio by Charlotte Hawkins who was on hand to bring viewers all the day's news and latest headlines while Laura Tobin back to present her weather segments.
But Richard soon left Laura stunned when he remarked to her that her services were not need anymore. After delivering her report, the 66-year-old spoke of the stunning sunrise he had saw this morning on the way to work. "I have to say there was an amazing sunrise driving in this morning, it was a really really bright bright bright red," he commented.

The former This Morning star then asked: "Is that old saying sunrise in morning, shepherds warning true?" he asked his colleague after she revealed the weather's plans for the day."
Laura then replied: "Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning - it's actually true because the sun is rising in the south east and it basically is reflecting off the clouds that are coming in. So if clouds are coming in, it would rain later."
Without any hesitation, Richard went on to remark: "Oh great, so we don't need you." Laura was visibly shocked by her co-star's cutting remark before jokingly starting to walk off the set. "Ok then see you later," she told him.
The group laughed as Richard said they "just needed to say the rhyme" rather than listen to her weather reports before Susanna went on to thank Laura and move on with the rest of the show.
Last month Laura was left red-faced on the show when she made a blunder about her husband. The 40-year-old meteorologist was roped into a chat with the programme's hosts at the time, Susanna and Ed Balls, when she was quickly having to backtrack.
They were discussing the news that Netflix were on the lookout for a Kate Middleton lookalike. It was quickly pointed out by the show's entertainment editor Richard Arnold that Laura bares a resemblance to the Duchess of Cambridge with the flattered weather presenter commenting that she "was available".
She then went onto say she already had a daughter called Charlotte so she was close to being like Kate. "Well I actually have a (daughter) Charlotte so I’m halfway there, I just need two more children. And a husband called William. So if you could work on that, while I do the weather."
Susanna was then heard saying: "Watch out, Dean," referring to Laura's other half who she married in August 2010. But it was her next comment that left her slightly red-faced as she said: "He’s fine, he’ll let me go with anyone."
As her co-stars laughed, she quickly added: "I don't mean like that," before asking to move on to the weather. She then later joked: "Just to clarify, because Kate Middleton wouldn’t say that! He may happily palm me off."
