However, her segemt did not go completely as planned

The seasoned anchor was sat in the infamous Studio B within ‘s New Broadcasting House.

The programme seemed to run smoothly on the whole, until it was time for the update.

Veteran presenter , 57, appeared from the other end of the studio as she was positioned near a big screen.

She was dressed in a top, a flowing black shirt and strappy sandal heels, for a touch of glamour.

However, her segment went completely awry by a seemingly huge behind-the-scenes issue with the map graphics.

Her item started as normal as she explained: “Highs and low with the weather coming up, in fact for some today we've actually had two seasons in one day.

“It was quite a chilly start in a little earlier on, in fact temperatures were as low as minus three.”

Turning to the screen she said: “Hopefully we'll be able to show you at some point this evening.”

However, the screen still displayed the moving BBC News ident graphic.

Turning back to the camera, she carried on the best that she could as she continued: “But it was a cold start in Scotland.

“And then the sunshine got going and we actually saw those temperatures climbing up to highs of 23 degrees.”

But then, a new graphic was suddenly shown on screen, which by the sounds of it was not supposed to be seen at that moment.

Louise exclaimed: “There we go!

“Oops, now I've disappeared. But I'll explain to you.”

Then the correct map graphic appeared and she continued to give the full weather update before finally reappearing on screen with the map behind her.
