This Morning Hosts Criticized for Early Christmas Segment

Viewers of ITV's 'This Morning' expressed significant frustration over the show's recent festive segments, particularly during episodes hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond on September 27, and Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on September 25. Despite the hosts' energetic performances, including dancing to noughties hits and discussing Christmas with 91 days to go, many fans took to social media to complain that it was too early for festive content, calling it 'absolute nonsense'. Critics voiced their dissatisfaction with comments like 'Remind me in November please' and 'Why are they talking about Christmas?' highlighting their desire for a more seasonal approach to holiday discussions. Conversely, some viewers found the hosts' enthusiasm charming, with comments praising their energy. This backlash comes amidst a pattern of mixed reactions to the show's festive themes and segments. Overall, the duality of reactions reflects a divide in audience preferences regarding seasonal programming.
