LAURA Tobin has revealed she used to work for the RAF before landing a job on telly.
The 41-year-old is famed for reading the weather on Good Morning Britain these days – but previously helped the Royal Air Force navigate the climate.
Laura was based at RAF Brize Norton, providing aeronautical meteorology reports and briefings to Royal Air Force transport crews.
Speaking about her former career in comparison to being on GMB, Laura told The Mirror: "The hardest part is the five days a week – not the earlies shift.
"I used to do two days and two nights in the RAF and I'd be on shifts so you get to have days off.
"I'd rather work, work, work and have then have the time off.
