Popping off! Laura Tobin struggles to cycle around GBM studios on bubble wrap bike
SHE'S a woman of many talents but Laura Tobin admittedly struggled to ride a 'bubble wrap bike' on TV this morning.
Laura Tobin struggled to cycle around the GBM studios on bubble wrap bike this morning
Weather girl Laura, who studied Physics and Meteorology at Reading University, was asked to cycle around the studio live on TV.
The 33-year-old star was cycling on a self-made bubble wrap bike, meaning the wheels of the contraption popped the wrap as she peddled.
Good Morning Britain was celebrating Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day with the bizarre invention from global company Sealed Air, and it looked like Laura pulled the short straw.
After speaking about bubble wrap's relaxing qualities, Ben Shephard introduced the celebrity rider to the studio.

The weather girl drew the short straw and showed off the bike
He said: "Laura's finding it not quite so relaxing because she's managed to drive our bubble wrap bike, which bursts the bubbles as you cycle along.
"It looks pretty tricky to master, but what an incredibly satisfying way to travel."
Making her way into the studio wearing beige trousers and a fitted red top, Laura shouted: "It's harder than it looks!"
She added: "Safety first - couldn't find a safety helmet so I've got a nice hat. The bubble popping is amazing, I love it, it makes me very happy. But I'm also a little stressed because I'm not very good at riding bikes."

Susanna Reid, presenting this morning alongside Ben, jumped in and said: "You were amazing. You got so far around the studio!"
Laura laughed off nearly crashing into a very expensive TV camera and auto cue, hopping off the bike and dusting herself down.
Taking to Twitter after her live ride, the star said: "Did you love the bubble wrap bike? I did. How have I lived without this? Happy #BubbleWrapAppreciationDay"
