ITV This Morning viewers ask 'is this a joke' as they're left furious just seconds into episode with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

This Morning fans were left less than impressed as they tuned into the new episode. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were back at the helm of the ITV daytime programme on Tuesday (March 7) when they kicked off the second show of the week with a divisive subject.

Instead of teasing what was to come on the show or getting stuck straight into This Morning's View segment, which sees the duo joined by two guests to discuss the latest news headlines, Holly and Phillip were joined by their first guest.

Joining them at the kitchen bar was Sarah Merker, who had recently completed a decade-long mission to find the best scone. Sarah shared how she wanted to get her money's worth after joining the National Trust with her late husband Pete and so started a blog in which she wrote about each site she visited.

Sarah spoke about how her husband was slightly bemused at the project at first but went along with it. But in a heartbreaking twist, Sarah ended up completing the challenge alone as her husband died in 2018.
