Good Morning Britain thrown into chaos as Laura Tobin is forced off air and Charlotte Hawkins stands in

GOOD Morning Britain's Laura Tobin missed her weather report today as a technical blunder forced newsreader Charlotte Hawkins to step in at the last minute.

The ITV show went off the rails when the 39-year-old meteorologist attempted to deliver her segment on location.

As GMB cut to the weather shortly after 6am today Laura was nowhere to be seen.

Coming to her colleague's aid Charlotte, 46, kept her cool and said: "Now it's quarter past six and normally we would be going over to Laura with the weather, she's live at Heather Castle.

"But the rain is interfering with the signal. So let me tell you what's coming up ..."

The TV star delivered the weather without a hitch, later saying: "If she's watching that hopefully I did alright, I'm sure she'll let me know later."

Laura made it on air at 6.30am and praised her co-star, saying: "Thank you so much to Charlotte for her wonderful job reading the weather earlier this morning."

The brunette often brightens up the studio with her playful sense of humour.

Last month she used her LEG as a guitar on a fun-filled show - leaving Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway stunned.

The presenters were trying to give viewers "the Friday feeling" by playing some of their favourite songs.

Laura started singing Bon Jovi's Someday I'll Be Saturday Night, crooning: "Hey man, I'm alive", before awkwardly inviting her co-stars to join in, asking: "All together now? No?"

She exclaimed: "And then we get the leg guitar", while strumming her limb.
