Watching Laura Tobin and her three-year-old daughter Charlotte cuddle and play during our gorgeous photoshoot, it’s clear they’re inseparable.
And when we catch up with the Good Morning Britain meteorologist afterwards, we hear about how their bond was forged as they braved the tot’s tough start in life. In July 2017, Laura’s colleague Dr Hilary Jones told her to go to hospital immediately after she suffered stomach pains on set – because she was going into labour 12 weeks early.
Charlotte weighed just 2lb 8oz on arrival and had a weak immune system, which left her unable to live a normal life and socialise during her first two years. Thankfully, she has suffered no lasting health complications from her premature birth and Laura says she has blossomed into a caring and outgoing child who loves the outdoors.
And she hopes her girl’s love of nature will inspire her to follow in her footsteps by becoming a scientist. “Before she was born, I wanted my child to be a scientist,” 39-year-old Laura tells us. “It’s important to be inquisitive and investigative. I want to teach her that the world is precious”
Laura now works to raise awareness around premature births with charity Ickle Pickles, which is raising funds via the Sudocrem 90km Challenge – a cycling adventure the whole family can take part in this spring and summer.
And as well as talking about her fabulous home life with Charlotte and hubby Dean Brown, she is happy to discuss the camaraderie on the GMB set.
