ITV ’s This Morning has once again come under fire from viewers for failing to reflect the pressures of the cost of living crisis, with a recent cooking demonstration attracting criticism on the subject.
Celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo joined hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to cook up a pasta dish in the This Morning kitchen on Tuesday’s show . But the segment sparked a backlash after Gino included a £100 truffle in the recipe.
The star explained that it was his son’s idea to add in the luxury ingredient, and joked that the cost would be taken out of Holly and Phil’s paychecks. But despite the addition of the truffle bumping the price of the meal up to a three-figure sum, the pasta was described as a “perfect midweek dinner”, The Mirror reports .
