This Morning's Holly Willoughby fires 'warning' at viewers over major change to show

Holly Willoughby issued a warning at the start of Thursday's This Morning, before any complaints flooded in from disgruntled viewers.

Teaming up with presenting partner in crime Phillip Schofield, Holly was back in the ITV studio to host their final show of the week, before handing over the reins to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary to do the honours on Friday.

Anyone who regularly watches This Morning will know all about Spin to Win, the daily gameshow that always carries plenty of potential for chaos. A staple of the ITV daytime programme, the game invites viewers to register every day to be in with a chance to win big money and a goody bag of This Morning goodies.

However, to guarantee a try at chancing their luck with the wheel or the balls, callers have to answer with the day's correct catchphrase when contacted y Holly and Phillip. More often that not, this results in the presenters becoming increasingly frustrated as viewers fail to follow that simle instruction; resulting in Spin to Win being ditched and prizes rolled over

Twitter is regularly awash with complaints from irate viewers who claim hey enter Spin to Win every day but have never been called, while there is always a backlash should it be axed from This Morning or moved from its usual 12.15pm slot.

That is exactly what happened on Thursday and Holly tried to pre-empt any inevitable complaints by letting people at home no straight away, that Spin to Win had been brought forward by an hour to 11.10, telling viewers: "Could today e your lucky day? We'll be playing another game at the earlier time, yes you have been warned; write this down, it's at ten past 11 today."

The first Spin to Win related complaint came in right as the show started, with one viewer taking to to Twitter to post: "what is wrong with your app and Spin to win?"
