What is Laura's former job?
Earlier this week, Laura revealed that she had a surprising former job. She previously helped the Royal Air Force navigate the climate.
Laura was based at RAF Brize Norton, providing aeronautical meteorology reports and briefings to Royal Air Force transport crews. Speaking about her former career in comparison to being on television, Laura told The Mirror: "The hardest part is the five days a week - not the earlies shift. I used to do two days and two nights in the RAF and I'd be on shifts so you get to have days off. I'd rather work, work, work and have then have the time off."
Explaining her former role, she added: "I was forecasting the weather for pilots' flights for all over the world. So, I worked at Brize Norton which is their airport and they used to fly to Iraq, Afghanistan and all then all the way to Australia and the Falklands." After two years in Brize Norton, Laura landed a job at the BBC Weather centre before moving over to ITV and working with the GMB team.
