ITV Good Morning Britain came under fire today over its treatment of Laura Tobin.
The 40-year-old returned on Wednesday's edition of ITV news programme to present the weather.
The UK continues to be hit by high winds from Storm Barra and Laura was reporting live from the scene in Weston-Super-Mare.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert for the region to warn that strong winds could cause potential disruption to travel.
Laura was visibly struggling to keep her footing as she delivered the report from the "windiest place in the country".
She said: "Storm Barra is not done with us just yet.
Laura continued: "I've just come to show you how strong and ferocious this gust is. Winds here gusting 50-60 miles per hour"
However, fans of the show on Twitter questioned why Laura was presenting live from the scene in such strong winds.
@mandapen said: "This is foolish and unsafe. It also sets an example to viewers that it’s “not too bad” and that they can go out in such weather. Irresponsible decision from the programme making the presenter go out into the storm in this way. Who risk assessed this? Not a joke."
Simon Stewart added: "We know its wet and windy, @Lauratobin1 doesn't need to be outdoors today, why is she rarely in the studio lately, Heath and safety out the window!"
@adampembs commented: "Bring her back to the studio. This is just silly and mean."
Sally Smith replied: "It's dangerous"
Zena posted : "I was dreading that she would fall over :( it's risky putting staff outside in the storms"
Syn added: "Dangerous and irresponsible going there."
