This Morning angers viewers with 'patronising' cost of living advice 'from millionaires'

A segment explaining how people can save money on their medical expenses has angered This Morning viewers.

The ITV show's hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were accused of "telling peasants how to live from their ivory towers" as they had a chat with two health professionals earlier today, following the news pharmacists will now be able to prescribe medicines and oral contraception directly to ease the pressure on GPs’ appointments.

Dr Nighat Arif and pharmacist Thorrun Govind joined Phil and Holly on This Morning to discuss the new blueprint, in addition to advising viewers how to save money on their medication and discuss how many parents have been forced to steal Calpol amid the cost of living crisis.
