Joel Dommett wears lycra on This Morning
This Morning viewers were left a little flustered as they found it hard to tear their eyes away from Joel Dommett's "area".
The stand-in presenter certainly turned up the heat, leaving fans blushing as he appeared on the show in a figure-hugging leotard that demanded attention. Even his co-host Alison Hammond seemed momentarily speechless as she tried not to stare.
Dressed in skin-tight green lycra, there was little of Joel's physique that wasn't accentuated by the clingy material, which highlighted his toned abs and muscular build. The daring outfit proved too much for some viewers who took to social media to express their discomfort with the segment.
One viewer exclaimed: "Omg cringe, this is too much beta male today #thismorning," while another baffled fan added: "What the hell #ThisMorning," alongside an emoji of Homer Simpson pouring bleach into his eyes. "I can't stop looking at Joel's 'area' ," confessed a third.
However, others were full of praise for Joel's bravery in donning such a revealing outfit on live TV. "Joel does lift #thismorning , he is great fun and always entertaining to watch @thismorning," complimented one Twitter user, reports the Mirror.
Another cheeky comment read: "We've all seen your 'grip strength' Joel #ThisMorning, as another echoed: " while another fan encouraged: "Go on @joeldommett You hunky devil #Thismorning."
Joel donned a vibrant green ensemble as an homage to '80s legend, Diana Moran, famously known as ITV's Green Goddess. The octogenarian fitness guru graced television screens over 40 years ago, becoming a daily fixture for ITV breakfast show viewers who tuned in for her exercise segments.
Back in her heyday, the television icon would dazzle audiences with her striking outfits, remarkably similar to those worn by the Masked Singer presenter, as she led the nation in health and fitness routines on-air.
However, it wasn't just Joel's outfit that was turning heads online; Diana's seemingly ageless looks also sparked a flurry of comments. Fans were astounded by her youthful appearance at 85 years old.
One viewer exclaimed: "Blimey, Diana looks amazing for 85! " while another added: "She looks amazing for 85 I have to say, looks only about 60! ".
Diana became an '80s sensation as The Green Goddess, a title bestowed upon her due to her eye-catching workout attire. Yet, her journey to television fame was serendipitous rather than deliberate.
During a chat with Alison and Dermot, she revealed: "It wasn't planned at all, I was a personal and welfare officer in a big department store in the West Country. Because I'm so tall, one day they asked me to be a model in one of their fashion shows."
"I was seen by HTV, my station back home, before I knew it I was doing afternoon programmes with them but they knew that I also went off every Thursday, bright red to Bultins to take keep fit and I did it for fun with the holiday makers and the whole thing, it bubbled on."
This Morning is on ITV on weekdays at 10am
