The 41-year-old, a favourite with fans of GMB, said that she was planning to spend more time with her family over the school holidays.

Laura wrote on Instagram last night: "I'm on leave for the first week of the Easter holidays.

"Spending time with the family mostly enjoying the sun and eating chocolate."

The meteorologist added that followers should not expect to see as much of her on Instagram either.

She often shares news about the weather and pictures of her outfits from the set of that day's GMB.

Laura explained: "I probably won't post that much. Have a lovely Easter and see you on GMB a week on Wednesday."

The star has a family with husband Dean Brown, who she met at who she met at Reading University and married in 2010.

She has said their relationship grew because he wasn't "intense" like many of the other men she had dated before.

The pair share a five-year-old daughter called Charlotte Blossom Brown, and Laura brought her onto GMB in 2018.

Many of ITV's main presenters are having time off over the school holidays this week and next, with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby both away at the moment.

They are being replaced on the This Morning sofa by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

ITV also revealed last week that Lorraine Kelly would be away over Easter, with Ranvir Singh filling in instead.

Laura began her career working for the Met Office and moved to BBC Radio Wales before doing aeronautical meteorology reports at RAF Brize Norton and via the British Forces Broadcasting Service.

She has been an early-morning fixture on ITV's early morning shows since 2012, when she left the BBC to join the new Daybreak programme.

That was replaced by Good Morning Britain in 2014 after ratings faltered and she is now the main weather presenter, with Alex Beresford her regular stand-in.
