This Morning returned to ITV screens on Monday, August 11, with a fresh pairing at the helm, Andi Peters and Emma Willis as regular presenters, with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard taking a well-earned summer break.
The episode started smoothly enough. The duo teased what was ahead: the day’s biggest headlines, some celebrity chatter, and even a live cooking segment. But the kitchen talk quickly took an unexpected turn when Emma casually revealed she doesn’t eat fish.
“Stop the show!” Andi shouted in mock shock, clearly caught off guard by the confession. Emma explained that she’s given seafood a shot in the past but just never acquired the taste. “I’ve tried certain forms of fish before,” she clarified, as the studio crew chuckled, reports the Manchester Evening News.
While the moment was all in good fun, it wasn’t the only thing sparking conversation. The choice to have Andi and Emma fill in as hosts drew mixed reviews from viewers, who wasted no time sharing their thoughts on social media.

“I’ve switched off already #ThisMorning,” one user complained on X. Another viewer wasn’t impressed either, writing, “Irritating/over the top Andi Peters… time to switch over #thismorning.”
But it wasn’t all negative. Some fans were happy to see the shake-up and even wished for more. “Oh, I’m so glad Andi is on, in my opinion, he’s not presenting enough…,” one supporter wrote, adding a string of heart emojis.
The on-air chemistry between Peters and Willis seemed easygoing, with Andi bringing his usual high-energy personality and Emma keeping things grounded but playful. Longtime fans of This Morning are no strangers to these summer swaps, as the network often rotates in guest hosts while regulars are on holiday.
Emma, best known for hosting The Voice UK and Big Brother, is no stranger to live TV herself, but stepping into the shoes of daytime staples like Deeley and Shephard can be a tall order. Andi, a familiar face on Good Morning Britain and a long-time ITV veteran, is known for his quick wit, audience interaction, and the occasional off-script laugh.
Whether this hosting combo becomes a new fan favorite or just a brief summer experiment remains to be seen. But if nothing else, it gave the internet another moment to talk about — and in daytime TV, that’s half the battle.
