This Morning fans fume just minutes into show spotting 'blunder' after Alison Hammond return

dailyrecord.co.uk:

This Morning viewers have been playing detective, suspecting that the latest episode wasn't as it seemed. Many fans were left disgruntled just minutes into the show on December 30 when they saw hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, a hint that things might not be as they appeared.On the social media platform X - previously known as Twitter - viewers remembered Alison announcing earlier in the month that she wouldn't be back on screens until January, due to her Birmingham pantomime commitments.

Sharp-eyed fans weren't convinced that the show was live, expressing their frustration just minutes after the episode started, suspecting it was a pre-recorded version - something ITV has neither confirmed nor denied.Disgruntled viewers took to their keyboards to express their disappointment, with one saying: "This feels prerecorded still #thismorning." Another agreed: "#thismorning Right definitely pre recorded."Others pointed out: "Alison is doing panto today at 14:30...

in Birmingham. Are we led to believe that she will make it from this live show London in time? #ThisMorning."Another viewer stated: "Yeah this is deffo prerecorded.

Bet they're not back till the new year now. Why don't they just take it off till it's back live #thismorning." A fourth complained: "Just have a day off This Morning."Viewers were left less than impressed with the episode, criticising it for being filled with old interviews from the archives, including conversations with Jon Bon Jovi and Shania Twain.
