ITV This Morning fans label John Barrowman and Emily Atack a "poundland" Holly and Phil

This Morning fans were left unimpressed this morning as John Barrowman and Emily Atack took over presenting duties.

John and Emily took over from Holly and Phil - while they were on their Easter break.

Opening the show , John Barrowman wished viewers a "fabulous" morning and said "and look who's here with me."

And Emily said: "I can't believe they're letting me do it, if anything goes wrong i have you to blame."

Aigburth among best places to live in North West - this is why  

But it didn't take long for fans to slam the I'm a Celeb stars presenting skills.

One said: "Seriously can't watch this morning today barrowman is so stiff like watching a robot where's Eamonn and Ruthie to park you up on a Friday."

Another said: "John barrowman has zero natural presenting ability, as wooden as my dining room table leg, he's bloody awful. #ThisMorning "

A third said: "3 minutes in to John Barrowman and Emily Atack presenting #ThisMorning and it’s already too painful to  watch."

Christine McGuinness says she felt like a carer rather than a mum on Good Morning Britain  

And a fourth cruelly said: "Poundland holly and Phil."

But others were happy to see some fresh faces on their screens.

One viewer said: "This will be FABULOUSSSSSSS! Good luck guys."

And a second said: "A couple of minutes into @thismorning and totally blown away by @EmAtack ‘s presenting, a complete natural, looks like she's been doing it for years, and a hard first story to go in with. @JohnBarrowman fab as always."

*This Morning continues on ITV at 10:30am on Monday
