This Morning viewers have expressed their anger and disappointment over the decision to pull Tuesday's episode (October 25) from its programming roster. ITV instead opted to air a breaking news special as Rishi Sunak gave his first speech after formally becoming the UK’s new prime minister.
The show’s official Twitter page shared a photo of the vacant sofa in the studio. It Tweeted: “#ThisMorning will be off-air today due to ITV’s news coverage of the new Prime Minister, but we’ll be back tomorrow from 10am!”
However, regular viewers made their feelings known about this unexpected change to the regular schedule. @londonlad1966 replied: “ This Morning is more important, more interesting, more enjoyable, more entertaining, more fun than Downing Street and the Government and This Morning should not have been cancelled ROLL ON TO WEDNESDAY THIS MORNING SHOW.”
