This Morning viewers blast Deidre's 'awful' advice after caller admits to cheating

This Morning viewers were far from impressed while watching Wednesday's show as Deidre Sanders led the latest phone in.

Hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield invited the agony aunt into the ITV studio as callers phoned in with their dilemmas.

The first caller to phone in used the fake name April as she explained that she still feels guilty about cheating on her partner in the first few weeks of their romance.

April explained that she's now 20 weeks pregnant but feels like she can't enjoy it as she feels so bad about what she did to her boyfriend, the Mirror reports.

Dishing out her advice, Deidre began: "This is a relationship that's going at speed because you've been together a year. But the thing is when you cheated, it was really, really early days, so you hadn't got the commitment together then.

"So as much as anything, this is actually about your partner feeling insecure, rather than you did anything that was absolutely terrible. You hadn't committed to him at that point, he probably hadn't committed to you.

"So he's just feeling threatened by you having been with someone else," Deidre continued.

"It's about him working on himself as much as anything because he just needs to come to terms with that insecurity. You're giving each other this massive commitment. If he can't manage it, it's really worth you seeing a counsellor together," she added.

"But he needs to accept how much of it is his issue as well."

A lot of viewers didn't agree with Deidre's advice and took to Twitter to comment.

"This advice is awful. His feelings are valid. She bloody cheated on him #ThisMorning," one person said.

Another tweeted: "Eh?? Why should he work on himself? She bloody cheated on him #ThisMorning."

Someone else claimed: "If he had cheated, Deidre would call it a red flag and tell you to run, as would Holly #ThisMorning."

A fourth viewer asked: "Is there any scenario where Deirdre thinks the man isn’t to blame? #ThisMorning."

And someone else added: "I kinda feel if this had been the other way round and the bloke had cheated very early on in the relationship the advice would have been very different! #thismorning."

Another viewer claimed: "This phone in is a mess. The advice, if you can call it that, is not good #ThisMorning."
