This Morning quietly ditches energy bills prize on Spin To Win after Ofcom complaints

This Morning was beset with problems today, first as Holly Willoughby suffered a coughing fit during a segment with Deidre Sanders and then again when cameras cut to Josie Gibson on location, who they discovered wasn't ready. Holly, 41 and Phillip Schofield had to laugh off the blunder after the segment got off to such a promising start with Philip, 60, saying viewers had the chance to win £500,000.

This Morning's resident agony aunt Deidre Sanders has said she feels "so lucky" to have had her breast cancer diagnosis early enough to have it treated as she prepares for surgery this weekend. Deidre, 77, has reassured many callers over the years, but today (September 27) she was there to discuss her own health having been diagnosed with breast cancer.

It was a surprising start to ITV This Morning today (September 26) as presenter Alison Hammond had her script torn up and discovered all the surprises would actually be directed towards her instead. Hosts Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield opened the show by heading live to Alison, 47, in Birmingham but, as she began to explain she was there to surprise an "On Your Doorstep" contestant named "Alison", the tables were unexpectedly turned.

Holly Willoughby looked like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders as she stepped out in London last week. She appeared lost in thought as she looked at her phone, perhaps still absorbing the backlash she and her This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield have faced following claims they jumped the queue to see the Queen lying in state.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were back on our screens today as they returned to This Morning hosting duties - and people were gushing over Alison's glamorous look.The 47 year old looked incredible as she showed off her recent weight loss in a black top and trousers with a leopard print shirt thrown over the top to jazz it up. Her dark hair was styled into a sleek bob with a side fringe and her makeup was applied to perfection with a bronzed smoky eye, extra lashes and a slick of gloss on her lips to finish off the look.

Phillip Schofield was quick to apologise to This Morning viewers after a guest broke a golden TV rule while appearing on the show. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime programme alongside Holly Willoughby on Thursday (September 22).

Things between This Morning and Holly Willoughby are said to be “tense” as she continues to find herself at the centre of a “queue jumping” row alongside fellow presenter Philip Schofield. While the pair, who have presented the popular daytime show together since 2009, are known for their bubbly personalities and infectious laughs, fans have claimed that the show has been a lot more subdued following accusations of queue-jumping at the late Queen’s lying-in-state As a result of the accusations, 41 year old Holly is said to have been left “angry” by the situation. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “She feels like she has been left out to dry by ITV in some aspects and is understandably very angry.

Piers Morgan has branded criticism faced by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield as “ridiculous” in light of the This Morning hosts facing backlash for appearing to jump the queue to visit the Queen’s Lying-in-State.The pair were spotted paying their respects to the late monarch last week at Windsor Hall where they donned press passes around their necks, sparking people to believe it gave them priority access while others waited hours on end to see the Queen’s coffin. People have now criticised them, and even gone as far as creating a petition to have the hosting duo axed from ITV’s This Morning. Piers Morgan has since spoken out in Holly and Phil’s defence however, calling the backlash they’re facing “ridiculous”.

ITV This Morning’s Holly Willoughby is said to be in “crisis talks” with the broadcaster after the recent backlash over claims she “queue jumped” to see the Queen Lying-in-State with co-host Phillip Schofield. The TV presenters have strenuously denied claims that they skipped the queue at Westminster Hall and that they were instead in the “press queue” with accreditation which is given to journalists and broadcasters. After addressing the backlash on Tuesday’s This Morning, Holly, 41, is said to have ITV fearful she will leave the show after she was left in “floods of tears” over the recent drama.

Ross Kelly was a familiar face from ITV's This Morning for those who used to watch in the 1990s. He joined as a cover presenter and co-hosted on Fridays during the period when the popular daytime show was presented by Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan. Ross, now 61, left This Morning after 3 years and joined GMTV presenting alongside Fiona Phillips and Lorraine Kelly.

A petition to axe Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield from This Morning after they were accused of "jumping the queue" to see the Queen Lying-in-State has reached over 9,000 signatures. Holly, 41, and Phillip, 60, could be seen lining up in Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the late monarch on Friday, however, their 'media passes' meant that they were fast-tracked ahead of thousands of others who had queued for up to 24 hours. The controversy has generated a huge backlash, especially after other celebrities such as David Beckham and GMB's Susanna Reid queued for over seven hours amongst members of the public.
