Good Morning Britain presenter Laura Tobin has surprised fans by revealing she previously worked for the BBC, before joining ITV over a decade ago. The meteorologist shared the details in a social media post introducing herself to new followers.
Career revealed on Instagram
In an Instagram post, the 44-year-old wrote: “I’ve had lots of new followers lately, so thought I’d do a ‘re introduce’ myself. Thank you to followers old & new, hope you learn something new!” Alongside a picture of herself at school, she began: “I fell in love with weather aged 14!”
She went on: “I studied Physics and Meteorology at the University of Reading and graduated in 2003. I have been a meteorologist for 22 years and one of my first jobs was at RAF Brize Norton. I worked at the BBC Weather centre. And have worked at ITV on Good Morning Britain for 14 years!!”
Fans react to BBC move
One fan admitted they had no idea about Laura’s career history, sharing: “That’s one thing I didn’t know about you that you worked for the BBC really.” Someone else asked: “Were you pleased to leave the BBC and join GMB? The clothes and makeup you wear are amazing and I look at the outfits and think I’d like that.”
Another added: “Follows you for a while but still learnt something new!” Yet another wrote: “Beautiful photo on BBC, cementing you as a brilliant meteorologist.”
New book on the way
This comes after Laura’s latest career move, as she recently revealed she is writing a new book. The GMB star previously gave fans a peek of the front cover of Come Rain or Shine, sharing: "Aagghhh. So excited to finally say I’ve written a book with everything you need to know about the weather. It’s one of our favourite conversations."
She went on: "If you’ve ever wanted to know why the sky is blue, how clouds form and which ones mean rain, I’ve written all that and more with fascinating facts, a sprinkle of science & fun stories along the way." She added: "Then even be able to predict the weather yourself. I’ve loved writing it and can’t wait for you to read it."
Laura was showered in support from her co-stars and fans alike, as they rushed to wish her congratulations. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
