This Morning fans fuming as Pink 'snubbed' by ITV favourite returning from break

This Morning fans were left confused during today's broadcast thanks to the daytime TV show not inviting star guest Pink to sing during appearance.

ITV viewers couldn't understand why the American pop icon wasn't asked to perform during her time in the studios and instead letting celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo belt out a tune with his new band.

Gino made a dramatic return to the show on Tuesday to showcase a special Valentine's Day dish after being off screens for weeks.

Pink - real name Alecia Beth Moore - enjoyed a chat with presenters Josie Gibson and Dermot O'Leary this morning, ahead of realising her new album Trustfall later this week.

Alongside taking part in her first ever 'trustfall' with Big Brother legend Josie, Pink opened up about family life on the road, her writing process and admitted to a fear of heights - despite being known for her stunts that take her high into the air.

As Pink's chat came to an end it was revealed Gino and his band would be closing the show on Valentine's Day with a special performance - much to the confusion of viewers.

"So they have Pink and Gino on #ThisMorning and ask the chef to bring his band in," one mused on Twitter as This Morning aired.

"Waited all morning for @pink and got Gino's band singing at the end of the show. Devastated. I love her so much," another added, as a third quipped: "Pink is literally in the studio but they've got Gino singing? #ThisMorning."

"Something is so wrong here. Gino's band are mic-ing up and Pink has left the building #thismorning," another bemused viewer moan on social media as Gino prepared to display his musical talents.

Some Twitter users suggested Pink may not have even wanted to perform, with one joking: "I’m guessing Gino was more within budget than megastar Pink #ThisMorning."

Gino teased his performance with fans on Monday night, as he shared a clip of himself strumming a guitar and working on some tunes.

He told his Twitter followers: "Ciao ragazzi, how you doing? It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to @SWilkesOfficial … We have been working on this for sometime now, and I can’t wait for you guys to hear all the songs...

"Catch us on @thismorning tomorrow to find out more… GDx."
