This Morning viewers were quick to flock to social media when the latest show came to an end. Thursday's edition of the ITV daytime programme (July 7) was very different as hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield and their crew ditched the studio for the great outdoors.
They headed to the This Morning forest which was purchased by ITV last year as part of a drive to "go green" and to stop the woodland from ever being built on. It is the second time Holly and Phillip have brought to the to viewers from the forest following the first go back in September.
Today's show featured performances from Haircut 100 star Nick Heyward and The Bootleg Beatles as well as many of This Morning's usual segments - including floral fashion from Kat Farmer, the best canned alcohol drinks from Helen McGinn, and food from Phil Vickery who whipped up a summer chilli and Juliet Sear who brought the dessert with deliciously sweet s’mores.
Viewers were welcomed to the programme by a performance from multiple drummers who looked festival-ready in bright coloured clothes and face paint. Eventually, Holly and Phillip appeared looking totally different to how we usually see them.
The This Morning 'forestival' also forced a change with Holly and Phillip as the pair swapped their usual studio looks for casual festival gear.
As Holly welcomed viewers to the show, Phillip referenced the current situation, saying: "It's not quite the morning we had planned, obviously a little bit surreal today following the news Boris Johnson will resign as Prime Minister. Even though we have got our festival bands on we may crossover to Downing Street obviously at any point."
Luckily for the pair they made it through the show without having to cut away - or almost. Just as the pair were saying their goodbyes and revealing what was coming up on Friday's show, which they will host before heading off on their lengthy summer break, the programme was taken off-air as Phillip was mid-sentence.
The screen quickly switched to show Julie Etchingham who was outside No.10 waiting for the Prime Minister to emerge for his resignation speech. They then proceed to show an extended ITV News programme, meaning Loose Women was taken off air altogether.
And This Morning viewers couldn't help but laugh at the situation. @leeleeCThomas tweeted: "lol they just cut Phil off [crying laughing emojis] #ThisMorning." @Mabel_Mouse_ laughed: "Well that ended abruptly #ThisMorning."
@WorfDelm2016 said: "Okay...bye then! #thismorning." @Beckie_Miller_ Phil being unceremoniously cut off there [crying laughing emojis] #ThisMorning." @Tom_Muzzy_2001 shared: "That was hilarious the way they cut Phil off #ThisMorning."
