Weather presenter suffers a fit of the giggles on air

The outlook is for a lot of laughter, after one weather presenter broke down and giggled her way through a news forecast.

Louise Lear repeatedly lost her composure to fits of hysterical laughter as she struggled through her live broadcast on the BBC yesterday.

It led many viewers to wonder just what host Simon McCoy had said before handing over to her.

Mr McCoy got involved in the discussion, insisting that he did nothing to provoke the meltdown.
