GB News reporter Dougie Beattie expressed his excitement at the "absolutely fabulous" weather in London as he reported live from a pedalo in Hyde Park.Speaking to Britain's Newsroom hosts Bev Turner and Andrew Pierce, Dougie said: "Usually when I report the weather, I'm standing on the side of a cliff somewhere, getting absolutely soaked and bothered by the wind. "What a lovely day to be in London. Londoners are so lucky to have this park. I've just been sitting here for about the last ten minutes and taking it all in. Although I must say most of the people around here are quackers - but the sunshine is absolutely fabulous."WATCH ABOVE.

00:00So let's go to Jimenez reporter Dougie Beatty. Dougie is on a pedalo if you're listening on
00:04the radio, looking fabulous in his summer threads and his sunglasses. Dougie, what's going on?
00:12Scorchio, scorchio. Yeah, usually when I report the weather, I'm standing at the side of a
00:20cliff somewhere talking about the weather and getting absolutely soaked and battered by the
00:24wind. What a lovely day to be in London. Londoners are so lucky to have this park. I mean, I've just
00:30been sitting here for about the last 10 minutes and taking it all in, although I must say most of
00:35the people around here are quackers. But the sunshine is absolutely fabulous. People are out,
00:43there's runners, there's families walking in the parks and they even have slurry tankers,
00:50small slurry tankers out watering the grass. Obviously no slurry in it, just water. And that's
00:54how hot it is getting at this moment in time. I must say being out in the lake is a bit of a
01:01gift for me because I seem to have a thing about elm pollen and of course the pollen is quite high
01:06today. So that is actually really causing problems for hay fever sufferers. But other than that,
01:12get out there, enjoy the sun. Londoners are so lucky. In fact, it's amazing to think the city of
01:18London is just in behind me and I'm sitting in this park. But Patrick Christie, he told me last
01:23night, he said, ah Dougie, most of these paddles, they're motorized, you'll be okay. What a liar.
01:29Do you know how much power it takes to pedal one of these things to get a few feet? This is not as
01:35glorious. It's going to take me half an hour getting back.
