This Morning's Rochelle Humes shaken by messages too vile to read out on show

Rochelle Humes was left shaken by horrific messages that were too 'vile' to read out on This Morning.

After presenting alongside Phillip Schofield on Monday and then Alison Hammond on Tuesday, after Phillip tested positive for Covid, Rochelle had another different co-presenter on Wednesday as Vernon Kay joined her in the studio.

Following some high jinks with a game of Wordle at the start of the show, Vernon and Rochelle were joined in the studio by regular guest Gyles Brandreth to talk about the day's biggest new stories.

And top of the agenda was the furore surrounding Met Commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick and fresh calls for her to quit after watchdog investigation found evidence of misogyny, racism, homophobia, bullying and harassment within the force.

The investigation has produced some sickening findings on the behaviour of serving officers, including messages where officers joked about slapping women or their partners, and using a ‘knife’ to get a woman into bed.

After Vernon kicked off the discussion, Gyles reacted: "They are so offensive that they'd be impossible to repeat.

"They are vile. They are about physical abuse of women. There's terrible language...the whole attitude behind him.

"How these people got through the first interview to join the police is what beggars belief."

Rochelle then asked: "Do you think this is something the Met Police recover from?

"How do they regain our trust? Because as Gyles said, we can't even say, we can't even repeat those messages on air because they're vile!"

As the show went on, many viewers called on Rochelle and Vernon to be made full time This Morning hosts.

One tweeted: "At last the best combination - presenters. Vernon and Rochelle !! Make them permanent."
