This Morning viewers had plenty to say about the programme which aired on Friday, October 21. The ITV daytime programme sparked reaction from fans on social media.
Some 'cringed' at comments made by Carol Vorderman as she appeared on the show to offer love advice. The former Countdown host answered questions from callers earlier this month and returned again to offer more help.
Manchester Evening News reports Carol appeared alongside her friend Gyles Brandreth for the segment. During her last appearance, Carol opened up about her own love life and how concerns around casual dating were a "nonsense taboo that should be broken".

At the time she added: "I’ve never felt freer. So I have ignored the 'looking for one person' and I have a number of what I’ve called 'special friends'." And following the response, her comments were brought up about on Friday's show.
"I’m a great believer in chapters in life and some are extended chapters and some aren’t," she said. "And I found as I said last time I had a massive response from women that the last 10 years or so I’ve lived a much freer life. I have special friends I’m not looking for one person."
She and Gyles also got stuck into viewers' calls but Carol's mention of her 'special friends' became too much for fans of the show as they flocked to social media to comment.
@Dayjur11 tweeted: "I bet Carol's kids are cringing every time she mentions her 'special friends'. #ThisMorning." @Mampa17 commented: "'Special friends' is giving me the ick. #ThisMorning." @Boppity_Boo34 requested: "Stop saying 'special friends' Carol #ThisMorning."
Meanwhile, other This Morning viewers appeared annoyed as they felt Alison had been 'fat shamed' by one of the callers. Alison, Dermot, Gyles and Carol were hearing from a caller named Dionne who was hoping for some advice on how to find love at 57. However, she admitted to struggling with her size.
