ITV This Morning viewers and Holly Willoughby defensive amid outrage over 'Halloween tat segment'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

This Morning fans have shared their annoyance over what they branded a 'tat segment' - but not everybody agreed. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Tuesday (October 11) and were continuing their Halloween theme.

They were joined live in the studio by Steve Wilson who was on hand to help Halloween fans get their homes ready for the most spooktacular day of the year in just a few weeks time.

Taking up a corner of the studio, Steve filled it with the best gruesome garden Halloween decorations on the market. Among them was a Winged Reaper, which makes noise and moves, from Aldi which would set viewers back £59.99 while there was also a LED Inflatable Pumpkin Ghost for £40 from Wilko.

However, it appears the segment didn't go down well with viewers. @mdbaggy tweeted: "I'm not sure whats worse, the tat, the prices or the jokes #ThisMorning." @Boppity_Boo34 wrote: "Oh look more overpriced halloween tat #ThisMorning." @lisab28782 complained: "#thismorning no one can afford to spend on Halloween tat! £40 for an inflatable pumpkin?!
