ITV This Morning viewers despair as they say 'not another' during last episode of the week

This Morning viewers appeared to despair as they moaned 'not another' during the last episode of the week. As usual, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were back at the helm of the ITV daytime show as they rounded off another week of shows on Friday (February 24).

The pair had another jam-packed show on their hands with Gok Wan whipping up a tasty dish in the kitchen after Alison and Dermot had been inundated with celebrity guests as actor Hugh Jackman joined them in the studio.

They also headed out of the This Morning studio and headed to see Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly as they rehearsed for the return of Saturday Night Takeaway on Saturday night (February 25) with the series opener featuring Alison after she was pranked by the pair.

But This Morning viewers were also treated to a musical interlude. Ahead of its West End opening, the cast of Oklahoma! performed the show's title hit for live in the studio.

Alison and Dermot also had a quick chat with Arthur Darvill who plays lead character Curly alongside Anoushka Lucas who plays Laurey. However, it didn't appear to impress This Morning viewers as they remembered previous musical performances on the show in recent weeks.

@cb_038 tweeted: "Not another musical? #ThisMorning." @Beckie_Miller_ echoed: "Not another f*****g musical #ThisMorning." @Itt39354118 posted: "Another musical #thismorning." @Claire83956219 shared: "It would appear people aren’t interested in musical segments @thismorning #ThisMorning."

@photo_Abe complained: "This Oklahoma performance on @thismorning is a cringe fest. Also it seems the producers didn't remember that @RealHughJackman had a big performance of that musical too." @Boppity_Boo34 added: "Not Oklahoma #ThisMorning."

But This Morning viewers were later thrilled to see Hugh Jackman in the studio as he chatted about his new movie The Son. And things soon turned flirty as Alison suggested that she and Hugh hadn't been out for dates in a while due to his intense training for his Wolverine role in the new Deadpool film.

Hugh smiled, “Alison, we could always go and hit it at the gym!" to which Alison replied: "Naaah!... Although I like doing heavy weights." Then at the end of the interview Hugh said: "It’s so nice for me to come to you because you’re always so lovely coming to me wherever I am, it’s nice to be in your home! [To Dermot] I’m a little jealous that you’re here, I’ve got to be honest… Laughing, Alison joked: "I feel like he’s a bit of a gooseberry to be honest."
