The show meteorologist suffered the blunder after a conversation about who will play Kate Middleton in Netflix series The Crown.

GMB host Susanna Reid commented that Laura bares a striking resemblance to the royal and could audition.

Laura, 40, replied: "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 asked: "What will Dean say?" and Laura added with a wave of her hand: "He’s fine, he’ll let me go with anyone."

The studio erupted into giggles and there were gasps from Susanna's co-host Ed Balls, before Laura screeched: "I don't mean it like that! Let's move on to the weather."

After the break Laura explained herself, saying: "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."

Remembering how she fell into the trap, she added: "My audition isn't going well!"

The Sun revealed The Crown bosses have started their hunt for a ‘stunning’ Kate Middleton lookalike to play the royal in the final series of of Netflix show.

The sixth season covers the period from 1997 into the early Noughties, which is when the future king and queen first met at St Andrew’s University.

But as Kate would only be a relatively small supporting role, the casting team only want to feature her if they can find an actress who captures her English Rose looks.
