GMB weather presenter Laura Tobin admits on air she lost her voice after partying night before

Weather presenter Laura Tobin admitted she had lost her voice on Good Morning Britain after partying the night before.

The 40-year-old had a croaky throat as she presented the weather on the ITV show on Thursday.

Host Kate Garraway drew attention to her struggling vocals, saying: "Good luck to Laura with the weather - hanging by a thread this morning, Laura! Are you gargling with honey?"

"I've actually got loads of chocolates and sweets, which is probably not very helpful," she confessed.

Co-host Ben Shephard quipped: "That'll do it!"

"My mum will be worrying - I'll be fine! I'm OK, I'm fine," Laura insisted. "I do not have Covid. Just when I party a little, my voice tends to disappear. And we have another party tonight, so... it's going to be interesting!"

Earlier on in the show, Kate said that her colleague Susanna Reid was routinely "attacked" when Piers Morgan worked on Good Morning Britain, reports The Mirror.

The 54-year-old revealed that when Piers said something inflammatory on the programme, Susanna would be slammed for "not keeping him in check".

She and co-host Ben had been discussing Wayne and Coleen Rooney's new documentary with former Labour MP Jacqui Smith and ex-Tory MP Ruth Davidson.

Discussing the negative reaction that Coleen had been hit with for staying with Wayne despite her husband's cheating, Kate said: "It was interesting how [Wayne] had picked up on something that I think we've all picked on which is when he's had indiscretions, made mistakes, obviously he's been criticised for it but she is as well in a kind of, 'Why are you forgiving him? Why are you keeping him under control?' It's interesting how women often get accused of it.

"It reminds me a little bit of when Piers Morgan was here, they'd be cross with something Piers had said, but then also attack Susanna for not keeping him in check!"
