This Morning viewers were introduced to a new host on the show today. But the reaction from fans at home has been rather brutal.
Presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard welcomed the newcomer as a “social media superstar” during the opening moments of the programme.
However, once he’d got going, many viewers watching the live broadcast quickly shared their opinions online… and not everyone was impressed.
Samuel Wolfenden joined This Morning regular Josie Gibson to present live coverage from the 2026 Cheltenham Festival.
Josie explained to Cat and Ben that the famous racing event was celebrating Ladies Day.
Gesturing towards professional farrier and influencer Sam, she said: “And it’s made even more special, as I’m joined by a brand new co-host, Mr Sam Wolfenden.”
Sam smiled and replied: “Thank you for having me.”
He then added: “There’s no better place to be than at the races.”
The pair joked about placing a few bets before joking about “splitting the G”.
