Good Morning Britain's Laura Tobin was quick to clarify her comments after making a blunder about her husband. The meteorologist was back bringing viewers the latest weather updates on the ITV show on Wednesday (April 27).
But as she was roped into a chat with the programme's hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Laura was quickly having to backtrack. The presenters were discussing the news that Netflix were on the lookout for a Kate Middleton lookalike.
According to Variety, the streaming service has put out a casting call for period-drama The Crown who is seeking "an exceptional young actor to play Kate Middleton" while adding that they are looking for someone with a "strong physical resemblance."

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.
"He might think I can be at times a slightly annoying wife, and he would send me off to the wife shop and trade me in for something less annoying," she said before adding: "My audition isn't going well!"
Laura married hubby Dean, who she met at Reading University, in 2010. She has previously said that she liked that Dean wasn't "intense" adding: "Our relationship just grew and after about six months we fell in love with each other."
The couple welcomed their first child together, Charlotte, in 2017. Their little girl was born prematurely and weighed less than 3lbs when she arrived into the world. Laura has previously spoken about how her colleague Dr Hilary Jones was the one who told her to go to hospital immediately after she suffered stomach pains on the GMB set – and it turned out she was going into labour 12 weeks early.
Charlotte weighed just 2lb 8oz on arrival and had a weak immune system, which left her unable to live a normal life and socialise during her first two years. But last year, Laura was full of pride as her daughter had "defied all the odds" and enjoyed her first day at school.
