Good Morning Britain's Laura Tobin teases new career away from ITV

Good Morning Britain's Laura Tobin has hinted she may enjoy a new career away from ITV.

The much-loved weatherwoman said that she was "very available" for a job with NASA. Speaking with co-stars Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher on Monday she said she would love to go to the moon.

The American space agency launched its first test flight on Monday as part of its Artemis project which hopes to put the first woman and person of colour on the moon. Charlotte asked Laura if she would ever want to volunteer for NASA to join in on the space expedition.

She said: "The eventual aim of the mission is to put the first woman on Mars. I think I have the person for the job. Morning, Laura. Is the training starting already? You'll be throwing your hat in the ring for this?"

Laura replied as she joked: "I am very available, obviously." She added: "Do you remember two years ago, January 2020, I was lucky enough to go to NASA's Johnson Space Centre to meet the astronauts who are training for this Artemis mission."

The presenter explained how emotional the trip made her, as she admitted that she was even moved to tears. She said: "I did get emotional, because I can't believe I was there at the pool side seeing some of the greatest endeavours that are going to happen.

"For people to go to the moon. The aim is to make a hub to the moon and back, and then eventually to go to Mars as well."
