Good Morning Britain star Laura Tobin has announced that she’s taking a “much-needed” break from the ITV show.

The 41-year-old forecaster is a regular on the programme – having made her GMB debut over 10 years ago.

Since then, she’s amassed a loyal legion of fans and she regularly keeps them updated on life as a meteorologist and TV star.

But on Tuesday (August 1) Laura revealed that she will be away from the programme for two weeks – something she says is “much-needed.”

Taking to Twitter, the TV star uploaded a picture of a cartoon woman sleeping, alongside another cartoon of a mum and daughter baking.

Alongside the graphic, she wrote: “I've got two weeks off GMB to spend some much-needed time with my family. I'll mostly be sleeping and playing with Charlotte.

“Don't expect weather/climate updates – maybe the odd post here and there. Don't miss me too much."

As expected, fans soon reacted to the news to wish her a restful break, with one person writing: “You deserve your time off. Enjoy all.”

Someone else agreed: “Enjoy your well-deserved break. Missing you already, Laura, honest. Enjoy yourselves.”

Others fans were gutted to know that she won’t be on their telly screens for the next few weeks.

“Noooooo I will miss you,” proclaimed one smitten fan, while someone else said: “Already missing you!

Laura isn't the only GMB star that is taking a break from the show, as both hosts Susanna Reid and newbie Martin Lewis are also enjoying some time off at the moment.

Earlier this week, Martin announced he won’t be working as he needs a “battery recharge.”

Bye for now," he wrote on Twitter before adding: "I'm signing off for a few weeks to take a break, from social media and work, for a battery recharge.

"I'll be leaving all the MoneySaving, any interest rate or price cap change news in the brilliantly capable hands of the @MoneySavingExp team – while I try and stay radio silent.”

Meanwhile Susanna bid farewell to viewers on her final episode at the end of July.

At the end of the show, she said: “Good Morning Britain back tomorrow at 6am. I am saying goodbye now! It's time for Lorraine!"

The recent ITV presenter absences come amid a huge schedule shake-up on the channel.

Daytime shows like GMB, This Morning, Lorraine and Loose Women have all been disrupted and pulled off the air for coverage of the FIFA Women's World Cup.
