This Morning fans seemed rather uncomfortable during Monday’s episode (May 23) after Nik and Eva Speakman seemed to shout at phone-in guests while giving advice.
The famous couple appeared on the ITV programme alongside presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to help viewers who were currently struggling with a particular phobia.
Trying to see if he could potentially eradicate his fear of flying, a caller named James shared the reason why he didn’t want to fly in a plane due to a bad experience he previously had.
But viewers quickly picked up on the fact that Eva was rather blunt with her response and told him he could definitely overcome his anxiety rather quickly.
Seeing her be so abrupt with the caller, viewers quickly rushed to Twitter to share their thoughts on her approach, with some even branding her as “rude”.

Taking to Twitter one person said: “Oh my god she is so rude!!!!”
Another commented: “Of course! You just need to get over the fact, James, that accidents can happen on the plane even though IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT. This advice, seriously…”
A third annoyed viewer penned: “The Speakmans were a disgrace this morning, people only need a one time incident to develop a phobia, they of all people should know this but basically brushed off every caller and told them to get over it, absolute frauds..”
Meanwhile a fourth spectator added: “Basically if you have a lifelong phobia all you need is one minute with The Speakmans telling you not to be stupid.”
But others seemed to enjoy the couple’s approach to matters with one person writing: “I actually prefer the Speakmans when they’ve got the a**e.”
The Speakmans are regular guests on ITV’s This Morning and often help viewers with an array of fears and phobias.
In February, a woman named Michelle who previously called the show to discuss her phobia of custard went on to the programme to conquer her anxiety.
Michelle’s phone call went viral in January due to her consistent gagging, as she was unable to bring herself to say the word ‘custard’ without feeling sickened by yellow dessert.
But Michelle surprised viewers when the Speakmans helped her overcome her phobia by bathing in a bath of custard live on This Morning.
