Frustrated ITV This Morning viewers complain over 'terrible' issue during Kate Garraway appearance

This Morning viewers were asking ITV to 'sort it out' as they tuned into the show on Thursday.

The latest edition of the daytime show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, started at a later time than usual.

This Morning was on a few minutes later as a breaking ITV News bulletin aired straight after Lorraine Kelly's self-titled programme.

ITV's news team was giving viewers an update on the ongoing situation in Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military invasion.

As Holly and Phil appeared to begin their show, which has been broken up with regular news bulletins from ITV News, they were joined by Kate Garraway.

The Good Morning Britain star was live in the studio to chat following her latest documentary, Caring for Derek, which aired on ITV earlier this week and followed Kate and her husband Derek Draper after he returned home from his year-long hospital stay.

The hour-long programme showed the moment the former Labour lobbyist gestured to hug his son for the first time and the family marking his 54th birthday.

It also featured Kate and Derek's trip to Mexico where he began potentially groundbreaking treatment.

But as Kate chatted about the reaction to the documentary and gave an update on Derek's current situation, This Morning viewers were left frustrated.

That's because they couldn't properly hear Holly and Phil's interview with Kate.

"#ThisMorning you all sound muffled... please sort it out, its a bit annoying @thismorning," @SarahCK87 tweeted.

@Miss_Vix88 said: "The sound is doing my head in #thismorning."

"Is Holly & Phil filming from inside a plastic bag? @thismorning #ThisMorning," @Allthingsprank jokingly asked.

@Allywally56 commented: "The sound is terrible #ThisMorning."

"What’s up with the sound @thismorning Sort it out peeps! #ThisMorning." @simmytdev shared.

The issue appeared to be fixed by the end of Kate's interview with one viewer tweeting: "Yay only took the sound department 20 minutes to twig on, after 100s of tweets."
