GMB’s Laura Tobin cut off while hosting the weather in awkward blunder – joking that the crew had been drinking gin

GOOD Morning Britain's Laura Tobin was cut off while hosting the weather in an awkward blunder - joking that the crew had been drinking gin.

The weather presenter, 38, was about to give her latest forecast when she was cut off by an ad.

Over the top of the ad, she could be heard saying: "Oh..."

Beforehand, she had been speaking to Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins before they introduced her segment.

After the mistake, Laura said: "I think somebody had been drinking gin just then" - causing laughter in the studio.

This was in reference to a previous segment, where Ben and Charlotte spoke about drinking Buckingham Palace's new gin.

Ben earlier said it doesn't last long in his house - as him and wife Annie enjoy a good drink.

In the same episode, Ben Shephard confused Laura Tobin for Charlotte while introducing the weather.

Speaking about Hamilton being on Disney+, Ben said: "Good weather I think for streaming Hamilton this evening, Charlotte, um, Laura. Whatever your name is."

Laura rolled with the mishap, saying: "You were either thinking of my little Charlotte or that big Charlotte.

"She always gets annoyed when I call her big Charlotte - not big Charlotte, just the other Charlotte."

Then as she carried on with the weather, she said: "Thank you for another tenuous segway into the weather, Ben."
