ITV Good Morning Britain viewers spot problem as Laura Tobin 'replaced'

Good Morning Britain viewers called out a "problem" as Laura Tobin was "replaced" on today's show.

The 41-year-old is renowned for her role as a weather presenter on the ITV news programme. However, Des Coleman stepped in for Laura to issue the forecast on Wednesday's programme.

Laura still appeared on the show as she travelled to French Guiana for a UK exclusive ahead of the JUICE mission launch on Monday that could identify if there is life on one of Jupiter's moons.

Laura was excited as she told broadcasters Richard Madeley and Charlotte Hawkins about the mission. She said: "You need four things to harbour life. You need enough energy, the right elements, water and a stable environment."

One of Laura's other passions is tackling the fight against climate as she has published a book last year named Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet. However, fans following Good Morning Britain on Twitter questioned the decision to fly to French Guiana since this contributes to the show's carbon footprint.

Dario said: "Sustainable #GMB sent Laura to S America to stand near a rocket."

Dan added: "So #LauraTobin is now in French Guiana to talk about Jupiter & aliens ? What about doing the weather ? Isn’t it Laura whose usually the one lecturing us about our carbon footprint"

Vanessa commented: "Laura has flown to the other side of earth to report on reducing your carbon footprint. O no sorry to report on some sort of launch. I’ll make sure to watch this tomorrow"
