Laura Tobin has shared her decision to take a break from Good Morning Britain to spend some quality time with her family.
The weather presenter, 41, announced the decision in an Instagram story post on Monday.
Writing in the post, Laura explained: "I'm on leave for the first week of the Easter holidays & spending time with the family, mostly enjoying the [sun emoji] & eating chocolate" followed by a drooling emoji.
She continued to explain that her time away from work may also extend to a break from social media, too.
"So I probably won't post that much," she penned. "Have a lovely easter & see you @gmb A week on Wednesday".
Laura is married to Dean Brown, whom she wed in 2010, and the pair share daughter Charlotte, five, together.
The TV presenter rarely shares photos of her daughter on social media and tends to keep her family life private, too.
However, in 2021 she gave a rare interview with her daughter and revealed how she became so close with her daughter, who had a tough start to life.
Laura, who has been on GMB for 10 years after leaving BBC's Daybreak, opened up to the Mirror's Notebook magazine about her daughter being born 12 weeks premature.
In the 2021 interview, she explained how Dr Hilary Jones told her to go to hospital immediately after she suffered stomach pains on set – and it turned out she was going into labour 12 weeks early.
Charlotte weighed just 2lb 8oz on arrival and had a weak immune system, which left her unable to live a normal life and socialise during her first two years.
Laura recalled: "If you knew what was happening, you’d be very worried, but I didn’t know I was going into labour.
"I turned up at work, I had a tummy ache, the wardrobe lady said, 'My goodness, you don’t look well.'
"Charlotte [Hawkins] said, 'Oh, it’s Braxton Hicks.'
"Dr Hilary was on his way in, so Debbie in wardrobe phoned him and he said, 'It sounds like she might be going into labour but don’t tell her. I don’t want her to worry. St Thomas’s hospital is down the road, which has the best unit in the country for premature birth.'
"I just turned up at hospital, then slowly it dawned on me, 'OK, fine. It’s going to happen'."
Laura's daughter's premature birth has meant she is more vulnerable to illnesses than others.
Laura explained: "When you have a premature baby, they’re vulnerable to all illnesses because they don’t have the immunity a normal-term baby would have.
"So the advice is, 'Don’t go to supermarkets, don’t hang around with anybody who’s got a cold'."
She added: "Essentially lockdown [advice], which we did anyway in the first two years of her life. Then six months later we were in lockdown [laughs]."
