ITV This Morning fans 'switch off' as Labour MP's appearance sparks division

This Morning hosts discuss inheritance tax

This Morning fans were fuming just minutes into today's episode of the ITV show (May 22). Taking to X (formerly Twitter), some viewers threatened to "switch off" as they were unimpressed by the line-up.

Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard were back at the helm of the show as they welcomed on guests Vanessa Feltz and Labour MP Jess Phillips. Together, they discussed the day's latest headlines.

Some topics of conversation included Anne Robinson giving away some of her £50million fortune to avoid inheritance tax after her death. Ben described the story as "interesting" as he said: "Let's come on to the next story, which is an interesting story about inheritance tax."

He went on to explain that the former Weakest Link host has given away some of her huge fortune, but Vanessa wasn't impressed with how she had cashed in. The ITV guest cried: "She was heavily reimbursed for saying very very mean things!"

While the discussions were interesting, fans were less than happy. One Twitter user shared their annoyance, as they said: "Bendeleeyc again today.. borefest again. Think I’ll leave it till Friday #ThisMorning" (sic)

Someone else penned: "In hospital and have 2-hour wait to see one. If that isn't bad enough, #ThisMorning or whatever it is called with Vanessa Feltz and Jess Philips."

One person said: "That Jess Phillips really annoys me #ThisMorning"

On the other hand, other people were enjoying the show and praised the show's Labour Party guest.

One social media user said: "Jess is alright as MPs go #ThisMorning"

Another added: "It's nice to have someone (@jessphillips) on @thismorning who's knowledgeable and actually knows what they're talking about, rather than a name-dropping blowhard like Gyles Brandreth. #ThisMorning."
