GMB viewers gobsmacked by Laura Tobin's real age as she celebrates birthday on show

Good Morning Britain viewers were left shocked after on-screen celebrations for presenter Laura Tobin's birthday revealed her age as she hits the big 4-0 this weekend.

Fans of the brunette beauty took to social media after the ITV show dedicated a short segment to marking Laura's milestone birthday.

The weather presenter was treated to two cakes by hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway and even took a brief trip down memory lane to look back at her adorable childhood snaps which showed the baby-faced beauty beside her twin brother.

One of the cakes was a prank with a Chris Tarrant's face on, before the presenters revealed Chris had been given a cake with Laura's face on, too, to celebrate his 75th birthday on Sunday.

"How is Laura 40?" gushed one fan.
