A gadget has been invented to stop rain-struck commuters being forced to awkwardly juggle an umbrella with their morning coffee.

The device is a cup holder which clips on to the centre pole of a brolly and enables a user to carry their drinks with ease.

The beverage will stay upright no matter how a user holds their umbrella because the contraption has been made to pivot.

The gadget, called the Morella, can be removed and attached within minutes by twisting the nut on the side and will fit a variety of different sized brollies.

It comes in two models - one for single cups, and another that can hold two drinks.

The product was invented by friends Andrew Tan, 35, Ross Malcolm, 36, and Jordan Schlipf, 30.
