This Morning host says 'stop the show' minutes in as viewers 'switch off'

This Morning returned to TV screens on Monday (11 August) with Andi Peters and Emma Willisat the helm of the ITV show.

Andi and Emma are the latest duo to front the programme, while usual presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are enjoying a summer break.

The pair kicked things off by introducing several segments coming up on This Morning, including the latest headlines and a cooking demonstration from Elliott Grover, which prompted Emma to make a controversial revelation.

"Elliott, I would say that looks delicious, but I don't eat fish," she laughed. "Wow, wow, wow. Stop the show!" Andi exclaimed in reaction to the revelation.

"You don't eat fish?! Never, ever ever?! I can't believe it!" he continued. "So, when they come up to you in the restaurant and say 'Dietary requirements?' you say 'I don't eat fish'?"

Emma proceeded to explain her dietary preference, clarifying that it is a "choice not a necessity." She added, "I did eat a prawn on this show once! Just because I'd never eaten a prawn, and I was like, I'll give it a go.

"So, I might have a sample today, seeing as it's you, Elliott, I might."

ITV viewers were divided over Andi and Emma fronting This Morning, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the pair.

"I’ve switched off already #ThisMorning," one person wrote on X, as a second added: "Irritating/over the top Andi Peters.. time to switch over #thismorning."

A third This Morning viewer wrote on social media: "He’s annoying me already and not even two minutes in #thismorning."

However, somebody else said, "Oh, I'm so glad Andy is on. In my opinion, he's not presenting enough," and another fan agreed: "I love Andi Peters #thismorning."

Emma and Andi brought ITV viewers a jam-packed show on Monday. The show also included an interview with The Only Way Is Essex stars Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge, a segment on weight loss jabs, and one woman sharing her own experience with the injections, which resulted in her weight fluctuating.

The presenting duos were also joined by Gyles Brandreth and Tim Campbell to discuss all of the latest news and headlines, while another segment, fronted by Phil Vickery in Leicester, saw conversation turn to the new flavours of Walker's crisps, which are due to be introduced shortly.

This Morning airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV1 and ITVX
