ECO WARRIOR: 'I GO THROUGH THE BINS AT WORK TO SORT THE RECYCLING!

Laura Tobin is a woman after our own hearts. While the 40-year-old presenter may be super professional, fiercely intelligent and groomed to within an inch of her life on Good Morning Britain, the reality of her day-to-day life is just like any other mum trying to perfect her juggling skills.

When we catch up to chat about her new book Everyday Ways To Save Our Planet, we quickly see her four-year-old daughter Charlotte appear on camera, complete with spots all over her face and chewing on a biscuit. “We have a chickenpox child,” Laura quickly explains.

“So the plan was that Charlotte should be downstairs with my husband but he’s hosting a work conference from the living room,” she tells us.

During our chat, the star, who clearly dotes on her daughter, patiently attends to Charlotte’s various requests while also managing to eloquently answer our questions. What a multitasking queen!

Anyone who has seen Laura in action on GMB will know that she’s more than just a weather presenter. She’s passionate about all things climate change and last year she flew to Svalbard (in the Arctic) to report on the impact it is having on sea ice and the glaciers.

One person she’s also keen on educating is her beloved Charlotte, who was born three months prematurely back in 2017. Laura has dedicated her book to Charlotte and written a moving letter to apologise for the state of the world and to promise to fight to make it better.

Here, Laura tells us how her daughter is a chip off the old block, why her husband, Dean Brown, is not always a fan of her sustainable switches, and that she’s happy to be that “annoying” friend…

Hi, Laura. You get a sense in the book that your daughter has already learned a lot from you about climate change…
