ITV This Morning fans ask 'what fresh horror is this' as Holly, Phillip and Alison become the Addams Family

Viewers know that This Morning doesn't do things by halves when it comes to Halloween and this year was no different. Those tuning into the ITV daytime show on Monday (October 31) will have been wondering if they needed to check their TVs as a haunted hue had taken over the screen

And the studio also looked unrecognisable in comparison to how it usually appears. But the biggest surprise came courtesy of the This Morning team as Uncle Fester and Wednesday Addams took over from Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield for one morning only.

Of course, it was still Holly and Phillip but the hosting duo had undergone an incredible transformation with Holly channeling Wednesday and Phillip, 60, appearing without his usual silver locks and sporting a lot of make-up.

But they weren't the only members of the well-recognized household who crept on to the ITV daytime show's set. Alison Hammond also joined the fun as Morticia Addams while Dermot O’Leary, Gyles Brandreth, Gok Wan and Steve Wilson were among those to have been swapped from the This Morning family for the Addams Family as Cousin ‘Knit’, Gomez, and Pugsley Addams, among others spooking it up in the studio.

However, not all This Morning viewers were convinced by the opening skit, which saw Alison lead the way as the family matriarch, sat in her own wicker chair surrounded by her on-screen family.

@ChrisDeityUK tweeted: "Jesus Christ who thought this would be a good idea? #ThisMorning." @Dayjur11 asked: "What fresh horror is this? #ThisMorning." @deec_101010 commented: "#ThisMorning Sorry. Had to switch it off today. Dreadful."

@HelenRe07161271 posted: "#ThisMorning no good, got to turn off. The canned laughter, the mix between acting and then not, the accents. Not for me." @zilli315 cried: "When is this going to end? #ThisMorning."

But others couldn't disagree with them more. @Diddy_Diane wrote: "This is hilarious #ThisMorning. If you don't like it, switch off!" @james_mont shared: "The @thismorning Hallowe’en special is brilliant. Well done everyone. #ThisMorning." @onlysmols tweeted: "Ahh they look brilliant and so does the studio! Love it!!! #ThisMorning."
