This Morning fans complain as 'expensive' ingredient almost causes fire on set

This Morning fans bashed the ITV show for being tone-deaf towards the cost of living crisis today.

Irish chef Clodagh McKenna made an appearance as she talked Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield through how to make a delicious dish. She cooked an Asian salmon and noodles meal, but fans weren't happy with the "expensive" choice.

The cook marinated her salmon in sesame oil which Holly kept calling soya sauce. Other ingredients included fresh garlic and bok choy.

Holly tasted it as she said: "Wow, it's a little bit spicy but it's good." Clodagh said that she would love to be able to order a similar dish to her home as a takeaway but always has to cook instead.

While tossing the Asian inspired dish, the bok choy flipped out of the wok and landed on an open flame. Phil shouted "Oh it's on fire, the bok choy is on fire!" Clodagh joked that her next tip would be to let the vegetable sit on a hob to cook quicker.

Fans on Twitter couldn't believe what they were seeing as Lois said: "Them all sat there as the Clodagh burns the studio down like... #ThisMorning." Another user said: "Oh she just burnt the lettuce #ThisMorning"

While some were distracted by the small scale fire, other viewers were focused on the price of the cooking ingredients used. They slammed the show claiming that viewers would not be able to afford such items.

One user said: "Salmon? Your viewers @ITV are struggling to buy any food, yet you do f****** Salmon thinking yeah this is what they can make. #ThisMorning" Another user said: "This programme is so expensive to buy things from #ThisMorning." Meanwhile, Mick said: "Salmon is too expensive, can I use fish fingers instead? #ThisMorning"
