Weather presenter Laura Tobin was left red-faced when she made a wardrobe faux pas live on air.
The Good Morning Britain star was presenting her regular segment when she realised she had left a roller in her hair.
She almost got away with it as viewers were treated to a stunning display of daffodils at Hever Castle in Kent.
Over the top of the clip, Laura is heard saying: “Welcome back to Good Morning Britain.
“These are the stunning daffodils here this morning at Hever Castle, where they have had their dazzling daffodil display.”

But as the camera cut back to 41-year-old Laura, she was seen fiddling with her hair and confessed to viewers: “I just realised I’ve got my roller in.”

A smiling Laura, who matched the flowers with her yellow suede jacket, went on to reveal there were 70,000 daffodils where she was.
She added: “It will certainly brighten your day on what is a grey and gloomy one first thing this morning.”
It’s not the first time the meteorologist has suffered an on-air blunder while presenting for ITV.
But she whipped the roller out and saw the funny side (ITV)In December, Good Morning Britain was hit with sound issues which left viewers unable to hear what she was saying.
As the presenters handed over to Laura for the weather, viewers watched as she talked - but no sound could be heard.
Laura appeared visibly confused before the camera switched to Ranvir Singh, who was presenting the show.
"Laura, something's happened to your microphone and we can't quite hear you," Ranvir explained before the show was forced to take a break while the issue was sorted out.
It's not the first time her segment didn't go to plan - here Laura is interrupted by a 'drunk' weatherman (ITV)During another GMB segment Laura last summer, Laura was interrupted by a ‘drunk weatherman’ as she presented from Austria.

The TV star was in the Nordkette mountains for the annual International Weather Summit, but it turned chaotic when a Polish presenter joined her onscreen and burst into song.
The fun didn't stop there, as an Austrian then paid Laura's patch a visit to offer her a slice of cake live on-air.
Viewers watching at home pondered whether the enthusiastic weathermen could have possibly enjoyed a drink or two before appearing on TV.
In the end, Laura politely pushed them out of camera shot so she could continue presenting her segment.

She was due to present her weather slot alongside ITV co-hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard, but didn’t get to the studio until 7am following a boozy night out with colleagues the night before.
ITV’s Ben and Kate explained to baffled viewers that Laura was at the ultimate news quiz with the Good Morning Britain team the previous night.
Ben said: “She’s the last to wake-up this morning, she’s overslept,’ as Kate replied: “Nobody could raise her!”
Charlotte Hawkins, who filled in, said: “I was going to cover her back and I thought no one would notice, I’ll just seamlessly carry on and fill in until she gets here.”
Kate replied: “That’s because you’re a lovely person, Charlotte. Ben and I want to revel. I think if we all put £1 on her voice being husky - we won’t be disappointed.”
