'WASN'T LOOKING'
Kate Garraway horrified as Laura Tobin reveals daughter Charlotte, 3, fell off a paddleboard when she wasn’t looking
KATE Garrway was left horrified today when Laura Tobin revealed her three-year-old daughter Charlotte fell off a paddleboard when she wasn't looking.
Good Morning Britain's weather presenter Laura, 38, assured viewers Charlotte was safe as she wore a life jacket but admitted her moment of panic during Saturday's heatwave.

Presenter Adil Ray, 46, who hosted GMB with Kate, 53, said he had watched Laura live stream the moment on Instagram, when she and her husband Dean Brown had taken the little girl out with them on the board.
He spotted Charlotte slipping into the water as he teased Laura, saying: "She was out paddleboarding again this weekend. But while she was busy Instagram living she hadn't realised her daughter had fallen in!"
And Laura explained: "The deal was one of us could stand up and have a go at stand up paddleboarding, and the other one had Charlotte sat at the front of the paddleboard while safely paddleboarding. Then my husband tried to move and she fell in. But only briefly she was fine, she had a life jacket on."
The presenters continued to give Laura a hard time as she defended herself, but Kate joked: "You can't talk your three year old daughter fell off a paddleboard!"
