The TV star stood against a backdrop of palm trees and a pyramid in Giza - while sharing the UK's weather news.

One raged: "The hypocrisy know no bounds with this program. Laura is there for a jolly whilst preaching to the rest of us to knuckle down."
Another said: "Laura tobin cracks on about reducing carbon footprint while doing the weather in Egypt 🙄"
And a third said: "So Laura from #GMB has flown to Egypt to then preach about climate change to us and then give us the weather? Why does she need to go to COP27?"
The TV meteorologist released a book about how people can be kinder to the environment and more eco-friendly last year.

She said at the time: "Yes, the book could be fully online, but we have gone to every step we can.
“There is a whole journey written in the back of the book about where the paper comes from, how the trees are replanted, how it is always sustainable, I’m super mindful of that."
