Laura Tobin was silenced from making distinguishing quack noises as Kate Garraway told her “the Shadow Secretary was waiting” to appear on Good Morning Britain.
The weather girl, 39, appeared on the show from Blackberry Farm in Shipston-on-Stour and a was cradling a white duck.
As presenter’s Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway attempted to move the programme on – with MP Lisa Nandy waiting in the wings – Laura wanted to share an interesting fact she’d learnt.
She asked Ben and Kate: “Would you like to know and interesting fact of how you can tell the difference between a male and a female?”

Kate responded: “I absolutely would,”
Ben interjected: “Not really.”
But Laura carried on anyway, unknowingly cutting across the Foreign Secretary as she explained that a “quack-quack” was female and “wuack-wuack” was male.
While laughing, Kate warned: “I don’t believe that at all and we have the Shadow Foreign Secretary waiting so that’s nothing new Laura.
“Err we’re moving on now.”
“We can keep the Foreign Shadow Secretary waiting,” said Ben who spoken over by Kate, adding: “Maybe Lisa Nandy can confirm it? You never know.”
Ben joked: “The things you learn on this show Lisa.”
The MP quipped: “I just don’t know how to follow that duck.”
Unfortunately, the Shadow Secretary had already joined the ITV show via video link and heard Laura’s quacking.
Showcasing their professionalism, Ben and Kate managed to pull it back and conduct a serious interview.
However, the TV duo couldn’t resist bringing up the hilarious moment as the MP was signing off.
Kate joked: “I bet you’ll remember that interview for a long time?”
Lisa Nandy replied: “Oh for the rest of my life.”
Meanwhile fans on Twitter found the stint very funny and took to the platform to chime their views.
One online user penned: “Lol that’s just the noise they make during the rhythm method. #gmb.”
Another said: “#gmb oh ffs… stay with the duck!”
A third person added: “LOL I thought it was a rabbit upside down for a minute that Laura’s holding hahahahLove @Lauratobin1.”
While a forth penned: “Listen to this! Guaranteed to make you laugh #gmb #duck #malefemale @GMB.”
