Viewers watching This Morning today (Friday, December 22) confessed they were missing former co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
The social media comments came during the final episode before Christmas, hosted by Rylan and Josie Gibson.
Complaints were shared online claiming the programme lacked “Christmas energy”. It was also suggested the ‘underwhelming’ offering was a “struggle” to watch.
This Morning today
Friday’s show included Juliet Sear sharing her guide to Christmas cake decorating, tips on cooking turkey, and insight from a hairdresser on ensuring blow drys last for up to a week.
And it seems the pre-Christmas presentation had viewers harking back wistfully to when Phil and Holly were on the box together.
‘Missing Holly and Phil’
“I honestly feel #ThisMorning doesn’t have the same Christmas energy Holly and Phil would have brought,” one observer lamented.
Another Twitter user appraised what they were watching: “This is pretty dire for the last live show before Christmas. I almost miss Phil and Holly #ThisMorning.”

Someone else replied: “Was literally JUST thinking the same thing. The whole episode is just ‘filler’.”
And then the original tweeter responded: “”
