This Morning fans were awkwardly reminded of axed host Phillip Schofield when they tuned into the ITV daytime show on Wednesday (June 28).
Hosts Holly Willoughby and Craig Doyle had plenty of people talking when they returned to the sofa and spoke to their This Morning colleague Luke Chilton about his dating disasters.
Having been on a total of 212 dates and finally found the love of his life after nearly giving up on dating apps, Luke revealed how his busy love life inspired his recent novel Don’t Swipe Right.

Fans couldn’t help cringing during the dating segment as it came shortly after Phillip’s affair with a younger male colleague on the show, prompting his sensational exit from ITV.

Many viewers on Twitter thought the dating segment was poorly timed and some even felt it was a “massive dig” at Holly’s former pal Phillip, given he was also an ITV employee with rocky romances.
One viewer wrote: “Surely a massive dig at Philip #ThisMorning.”
Another said: “Very brave of #ThisMorning to cover dating disasters and have an ex-employee on to talk about it!! #Awks.”

A third commented: “Bit of a ballsy topic after what went down with Phil #ThisMorning.”
A fourth added: “He’s not the only person on the #ThisMorning #ITVThisMorning team who’s had a dating disaster!”
Holly was struggling with a croaky voice during Tuesday’s show as she’d been singing her heart out during Elton John’s headline set at Glastonbury.

Craig quipped: “What’s going on here then? The cold? A bit of hayfever?”
Explaining her croaky voice, Holly said: “I’ve been officially Glasto’d. This is what this voice is. It’s always my first thing to go and actually I blame Elton John for this.”
She added: “It was just so amazing, it was one of the best things. The whole weekend was incredible, but to to finish on this moment, and I sang my socks off and now I sound like this.”
