ITV This Morning viewers tell off Rochelle Humes and Andi Peters for 'patronising' start to show

Rochelle Humes and Andi Peters were quickly being told off by viewers as they returned to This Morning on Thursday (August 18). The pair are at the helm of the ITV daytime show all this week as the latest duo to take on hosting duties over the summer while Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield enjoy their annual break.

And viewers have already seen one unusual start to the show this week when the usual titles were momentarily ditched and fans immediately saw Andi, 52, and Rochelle, 33, in the studio. The words 'hidden cam' visible at the top of the screen and a member of the crew told them they had 15 seconds before going live.

"Huddle up team, let's go," Rochelle then demanded as more people came from behind the cameras. "It's the Tuesday team talk... have we got this?" the mum-of-three continued as Andi and the rest of the crew shouted: "Yes, Roch!" She carried on asking them for 'big energy' and 'good vibes only' with them continuing to respond: "Yes, Roch!" to each.

Viewers complained that the scenes were 'cringe' and have been left disappointed again today (Thursday) as another change was made. Again momentarily pausing the usual titles, Rochelle and Anid were seen in the London-based studio.

"Okay, come on. We've got to do this," Andi said while nervously moving around. "Let's just got for it," Rochelle said with the pair both holding on to large white envelopes. The lights in the studio then changed and tense music began to play.

Rochelle then took a deep breath before lifting a piece of paper out of the envelope and put a happy and shocked reaction on to her face. "I've done it," she squealed as Andi told her 'well done' before opening his own envelope.

"Are you okay?" Rochelle asked as Andi's face changed to one of disappointment. "There's only one cookery item on the show today... gutted," he moaned as Rochelle tried to keep a straight face. The usual theme tune then began to rang out before the hosts were once again back on screen.

"And the Oscar goes too... Rochelle Humes!" Andi declared. "For opening envelope on Thursday morning," he added as an applause was heard in the studio. Rochelle then said: "Your agents just called been on the phone and you've got the call up."

The pair then welcomed viewers to the show and explained how it was a 'nerve-wracking' time for students as it was A-Level results day. But This Morning viewers were flocking to social media to comment.

@LukeHayesII1 fumed: "How patronising? #ThisMorning." @kellymcc5 commented: "What was the actual point of that #thismorning." @CONN70D said: "That was a bit unnecessary #ThisMorning."
