Phillip Schofield is presenting the ITV News weather from the GMB studio. He's been practising in there with Lucy Verasamy for a while. Does the ITV News Weather normally come from the GMB studio?

No, I believe they usually use green screen. Probably done this so it was easier for him.

Doesn't look as if it (or any of the other trees) is being lit (i.e. enough light hitting it), so they all look a bit dismal.
Traditional green trees need a LOT of dressing and a lot of light (and ideally lights on them) to read well on camera. I'm guessing it is tricky to light as it is so close to the presenters and screens? I'm sure lighting would have been involved in the set dressing - as their input would be key to getting it to read well on camera. Also, you often need christmas tree (or fairy) lights that are brighter than many of the current consumer ones for them to read well on camera.
Ironically the (some would say 'quite tacky') fake white and silver tinselly trees often read better on camera as they are brighter and more twinkly (though I'd never have one in my living room!)
