This Morning viewers were perplexed by the image of Gyles Brandreth wearing a heavy wool jumper in the current UK heatwave.
This Morning welcomed the first of their summer presenters today as Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary take the show's reigns for the next two weeks. The pair were excited at the promotion as they opened the show with hugging and cheers for one another.
Royal correspondent Gyles Brandreth was also back on his usual opening slot to give viewers a rundown on all the topical news but his latest look had viewers breaking a sweat. Known for his quirky and colourful jumpers, the public - and Alison - couldn't quite believe he was still opting for his statement pieces given the heatwave descending on the UK.

Temperatures are currently rising between 22C to 33C in some areas so the decision to wear a jumper amid the sudden summer sun has left everyone in awe. Unbothered by the heat, Gyles said he still felt as great as ever as he sat in the ITV studio in a bright blue fluffy wool jumper.
Alison said: "Can we just talk about this jumper because you look very hot."
Gyle's disputed the claims, stating he isn't "even producing a bead of sweat." He added: "Think of a thermos flask, you put ice in it and the ice stays cold. So this is the idea and that's why you have a cup of tea when it's hot and it cools you down. And you are what you wear, I am a cool penguin."
Dermot scratched his head in confusion and failed to respond to the explanation before his co-host moved the conversation along. Viewers were more perplexed by the jumper than Alison as their shock was made clear online. One viewer said: "Gyles are you okay in that jumper hun?"
Another viewer said: "Hope Gyles has some of that curry and with wearing that jumper he'll be friggin sweating buckets!"
A third comment added: "A jumper in this heat!? Gyles noooo."
