GMB star Laura Tobin breaks down in tears on Arctic trip

Weather presenter Laura Tobin broke down on Good Morning Britain today during her trip to the Arctic.

Laura has been presenting the weather from the Arctic Circle over the past two days to draw attention to the climate crisis.

Over the past couple of days viewers have heard about how the ice is melting at a drastic rate and how polar bears are significantly under threat.

The programme has also been focusing on climate issues, with debates around what people can do to help alleviate the crisis.

Hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid went live to Laura for the last time today and she struggled to contain her emotion as she showed a picture of a polar bear her daughter Charlotte had drawn.

Laura said: "I came here, you know I've been away for Charlotte for six days and my producer Ruth hasn't seen her daughter, she's never had a night away from her and I wanted to come and tell the story of the people here, because it's not a story it's a reality.

"My little Charlotte drew this picture of a polar bear and she asked me to give it to the polar bear, I'm obviously not because that's very dangerous.

"But If I were to come here with her when she's my age there potentially won't be polar bears here.

"We've been talking about what we can do, just understanding the reality and everyone making a difference and everyone working together and not pointing fingers will help."

*GMB continues at 6am on ITV tomorrow
