This Morning fans 'switch off' as viewers share same complaint minutes into show

This Morning viewers weren't happy with Tuesday's show as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield celebrated King Charles' upcoming Coronation.

After spending time away from the studio, Holly and Phillip packed the latest offering of This Morning with royal segments as the UK prepares for the Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort, which will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May, 2023.

On Tuesday, the This Morning studio was decorated in the spirit of the Coronation with Union Flag bunting in the backdrop as Holly and Phillip spoke with guests.

The ITV show's line-up included an interview with royal photographer Chris Jackson, who is set to take photos of the Royal Family up on the iconic balcony at the Coronation and has followed Charles over the years as his official photographer.

This Morning chef Clodagh McKenna also joined the show's kitchen live in the studio to show Holly and Phillip how to make one of Charles' reported favourite dishes - cheesy baked eggs.

Fans of the ITV programme were disappointed by the focus on the Coronation and took to Twitter to complain.

One viewer hit out: "This morning is gonna be unbearable this week with all the coronation stuff #thismorning."

"Let's play a game tomorrow. We take a shot every time someone says the word coronation. That will get us through Wednesday #ThisMorning," another wrote while a third shared: "Talk about kill the occasion before its even happened. You are wringing the shit out of the coronation #ThisMorning."

Someone else shared: "Jesus wept. How much time can they devote to the coronation. I am switching off for the rest of the week. Soul destroying listening to it. #noteveryoneisobsessedwiththeroyals #ThisMorning."

"Oh ffs I forgot my week off collides with that b****y coronation. That's #ThisMorning ruined for the week," a fifth complained.

Another tweeted: "#ThisMorning Noticed that all the @ITV daytime shows and UK media are really pushing the Coronation. When the Queen was alive all the big occasions were never forced on people like their doing with the King Charles Coronation."
