And today saw the Bristolean fan-favourite host Josie, who fronted the show alongside Irish TV star Craig Doyle, subjected to further criticism – this time, from a guest.

Presenter Holly Willoughby faced fresh backlash last week amid reports she’s set to sign a lucrative new deal with This Morning. Talk of the proposed deal comes just weeks after rumours circulated that Holly, 42, was ready to quit the show for good following the exit of her co-presenter Phillip Schofield, 61. Now, the reports of a potential uplift in Holly’s salary, should she stay on, have prompted a barrage of criticism, with some blasting it as “disgusting”, especially with the country in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
