GMB host 'embarrassed' as she rocks up in BAFTAs dress after partying all night
Good Morning Britain started a brand new week on Monday (May 13) with Ed Balls and Susanna Reid ready to spill the latest news stories from around the globe.
One of the main topics of discussion was the recent BAFTA TV awards, where beloved Scottish presenter, Lorraine Kelly, received a special honour for her undeniable impact on television over the years.Clearly Laura Tobin had a whale of a time celebrating at the event, appearing at work the next day still donning her shimmering gown.
And, her GMB co-stars Susanna Reid and Ed Balls couldn't resist playfully teasing her about it. "Laura, we're going to address what you came in to work wearing this morning," Susanna teased.
Ed chimed in: "I think it's the dress in this photo, just before 5 am this morning," reports the Daily Star. They then projected an image of Laura looking like a star, striking a pose in her gorgeous BAFTA dress outside her GMB dressing room.
In response to their tease, a squirming Laura confessed: "Oh no, I'm so embarrassed." But Ed wasn't done poking fun as he asked: "From the after party? Did you go all night?" to which Laura quickly retorted: "No I went to bed at a reasonable time.
"But I can't unzip my dress without help so I realised when I got back to my room, no one could help me so I had to sleep in the dress," she admitted with a wry smile. Ed playfully mocked: "That is the least convincing excuse I've heard in my whole life!" Laura then insisted: "That is the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
At the glitzy BAFTA ceremony, the night belonged to Happy Valley and Top Boy, as both beloved series secured two awards each. In a shocking turn of events, despite Netflix's Royal drama The Crown having eight nods, it went home empty-handed.
Taking home the Special Award was Laura's co-host Lorraine Kelly who begged those in the industry to help those from working-class backgrounds. "I suppose if I've learned anything at all over the past 40 years, it's what's the point of having all that experience if you don't actually share it, and if you don't actually pass it on, and help other people," she said in her speech.
"So I would just say don't pull up the ladder, please make it possible for kids like me from my background, from a very working class Glasgow background, rise the same from Dundee. We've had amazing opportunities, but I just want everyone to have those opportunities the same that we did."
