This Morning viewers furious as George Floyd debate is cut short due to game over-running

Angry viewers have lashed out at This Morning due to cutting short a debate on the riots in America due to its Spin To Win game being plunged into chaos minutes earlier.

After Alison Hammond's heartbreaking speech about George Floyd's death and Black Lives Matter sparked a huge reaction 24 hours earlier, the ITV show has come under fire for bringing a discussion on what's being going on in the States to an abrupt end because Spin to Win massively over-ran.

This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were joined via video call by Matthew Wright and Trisha Goddard for the debate, with Trisha actually being over in America right now at witnessing the rioting in response to Floyd's shocking death at the hands of a police officer, first hand.

After being interrupted by Phillip on numerous occasions as he tried to hurry things along, Trisha and Matthew then looked rather frustrated as the debate was cut short, with the presenter saying they'd ran out of time.

And furious viewers wouldn't believe what they were watching. One ranted: "So now the piece about #GeorgeFloyd is rushed because @thismorning wasted so much time on that Spin to Win crap. Can you not see the problem with this?"

In agreement, another tweeted: "You knew what your next item was. @hollywills said to abandon S2W. But it went ahead and now this issue has to take a backseat," and a third reacted: "any chance of missing spin to win out and not having to rush an important debate."
