This Morning's 'tummy-toning' segment slammed by viewers, who say ITV should promote body positivity

Viewers of This Morning have criticized the ITV show for a segment that it ran on how to get the 'perfect' body for summer. During Tuesday's (August 2) show, hosts Rochelle Humes and Vernon Kay were showed various exercises on how to 'tone [their] tummies' by an instructor. Love Island stars, Jay Younger and Billy Brown also appeared topless, showing viewers the results they can get.

The segment was slammed as "awkward" and "cringy" by one person, who wrote: "Awkward, cringey segment to titillate randy housewives with shirtless himbos, under the guise of building a 'beach body' months too late."

Another person took aim at the broadcaster, itself, and commented: "ITV; promotes body diversity, all body types are healthy Also ITV; Get off your couch and exercise you lazy *****"
