GMB's Laura Tobin suffers 'dramatic' off-camera stumble seconds before weather forecast

Good Morning Britain weather presenter Laura Tobin pleaded with colleagues Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid to 'ignore that' after suiffering an off-camera stumble on Thursday's show.

After Susanna and Ben had interviewed Rishi Sunak about yesterday's Budget announcement, Laura was all set to give her final forecast of the day.

Ben had just informed viewers that the Chancellor would be appearing on tonight's Martin Lewis Money Show when he began: "Laura's got a..." before he gave a startled glance across the studio and asked: "you alright Laura...bit of a dramatic entrance!" with viewers at home confused at what was going on out of shot.

Laura could then be heard saying: "Sorry, I just fell off my chair," before the camera then cut to her and she said: "Sorry I just got off the chair."

She then added: "I've not touched the beer I promise!" before Ben asked: "where is it?"

Trying to move things on, Laura said: "Here's the weather, let's ignore that!" before telling GMB viewers "sunshine will return" after saying the weather was "looking like it has for the last few days - grey, misty and murky."

Laura's dramatic off-camera stumble came a week after Piers Morgan made a cutting dig at her expense at the start of an episode of Good Morning Britain last week.

Piers bemoaned the fact that Wednesday's show started with a sunrise - a shot of the 'Sahara sunrise from Canary Wharf as Susanna exclaimed: "It's a moment of joy to wake you up!"

The camera then cut to a fed up looking Laura to which Piers reacted: "....unlike Laura’s savage little face, a moment of seething fury," as she then started smiling.
