‘I think somebody had been drinking gin then’: Good Morning Britain’s Laura Tobin accuses crew member of being drunk after she is cut off in awkward blunder
Good Morning Britain’s Laura Tobin joked a crew member may have been drinking after she was cut off during Wednesday’s show.
The weather presenter, 38, was about to host her latest forecast when she was unexpectedly cut off and could be heard saying ‘Oh…’
Laura had been speaking to hosts Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins before the gaff and then the camera panned back to her as she reattempted the segment.

The broadcaster had barely begun when the usual weather advertisements began to play over the screen.
Laura then vanished from the screen and the sound of the advert drowned out her segment.
Taking the mishap in her stride, Laura joked it was likely due to a member of the crew consuming an alcoholic beverage ahead of work.
Ben and Charlotte had been discussing Buckingham Palace’s new gin, with Ben admitting that the drink doesn’t last long in the Shephard household.

In the same episode, Laura was subject to another mishap by Ben after he called her ‘Charlotte’.
The host had been discussing Hamilton being made available for streaming on Disney+, when he said: ‘Good weather I think for streaming Hamilton this evening, Charlotte, um Laura. Whatever your name is!’

Laura remarked: ‘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.
‘Thank you for another tenuous segway into the weather Ben,’ she added, before carrying on with the segment.
